    This recipe is A, mazing!!! Love it.
    The only thing different is I used Pioneer Woman’s Biscuit recipe. This is the only biscuit recipe that has ever turned out for me. All others turn out like hockey pucks. Plus, I made a strawberry shortcake dessert with the biscuits to top the oh, so, delicious chicken dinner.

    OMG! I can't cook but this came out fantastic!! The only change I made was to replace the 1/2 cup of water with a 1/2 cup of white wine, I used Pinot Griego. My boyfriend thinks I'm a chef :!

    The chicken and biscuits were really tasty! I already knew we weren't going to eat the gravy on the biscuits, but I did put in on the chicken. We used grape jam on the biscuits. I felt like we were eating Popeye's chicken and biscuits! Caution: the salt should read teaspoons not tablespoons.
