Notes

Tips for making this recipe:

  • I like to make my chicken in the Instant Pot to use in recipes like this.
  • Make sure to bring the liquid to a full boil before dropping in the biscuits to make sure that they are at a good temperature to cook them.
  • If you notice the biscuits aren't cooking on top, you can gently push them down under the broth using a large spoon.
  • To store: add to a covered container and eat within 3 days. Reheat in the microwave OR you can add the leftovers and 1/4 cup water to a pan and heat on the stovetop.
