One Pan Chicken with Thyme Biscuits Recipe

When the days are cooler, I start thinking of heartier meals for supper. The other night, I threw together this one pan chicken with thyme biscuits dish. Oh my gracious was it amazing.

Even my pickiest little eater tried it without it throwing his nose completely out of joint. I’m thinking it had something to do with the biscuits. Biscuits are always a good thing in his book and I’ve learned that making them is a great way to get him to try new things.

In making this dish, I decided to chop the chicken to reduce the cooking time. Of course, if you plan ahead better than I did that day, you could easily just use the whole chicken breast in this recipe. It will just increase your cooking time to make sure the chicken breast is cooked through.

Making this chicken dish in one pan, or skillet in my case, is so easy. Once the chicken and vegetables have cooked, you push them to the sides of the skillet as you make the ‘gravy’ for the dish. Then you layer on the thyme biscuits and pop the skillet in the oven to bake your biscuits and marry all the flavors together.

You can serve this with additional cooked vegetables on the side if you like, or even ladle it into shallow bowls as a very chunky soup type dish.

Anything really goes.

But one thing that I added to the top of my biscuits just to dress them up a tad was a touch of thyme. I’m sort of a nerd.

Here’s my one pan chicken with thyme biscuits recipe. I hope you love it, too!

• ▢ 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• ▢ 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• ▢ 1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme
• ▢ 1 cup milk

Instructions 

• Preheat oven to 375º F.

Top each biscuit with a piece of thyme (optional) and a piece of butter.
