  • 1.5 cups Potatoes (peeled and diced) Add sweet potatoes as a healthy substitute.

Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • baking dish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Season chicken with onion powder, salt, and pepper. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
  2. Remove the chicken, let it rest, then chop it into bite-sized pieces. In the same skillet, sauté onion and potatoes until tender, about 5-6 minutes.
  3. Deglaze the skillet with white wine, scraping up any browned bits over medium heat. Stir in butter until melted, then add flour to create a roux, cooking for 2-3 minutes.
  4. Gradually whisk in chicken broth and heavy cream. Bring to a gentle simmer, adding chopped chicken, sun-dried tomatoes, and spinach for about 5 minutes until thickened.
  5. In a bowl, combine Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix with cheddar cheese, milk, and stir gently; don't overmix.
  6. Preheat your oven to 425°F. Pour the filling into ramekins or a large baking dish. Dollop biscuit dough over the top of the filling.
  7. Bake for 14-16 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  8. Brush the warm biscuit topping with melted butter mixed with garlic herb seasoning. Let cool slightly, then serve warm.
