Introduction

I just whipped this recipe up to use a little leftover chicken I had and to feed my "hungry as a bear" husband some lunch and it was a hit. You may wish to season a little different according to taste.

Ingredients

1lb Chicken Breast (leftovers great)

2 Cups Chicken Broth (low sodium)

2 Cups Water

4 Cloves Garlic (chopped)

1/2 Onion (chopped)

1 Cup Baby Carrots (left whole)

1 can (cheap) biscuits 8-10

1 Tsp. Garlic Powder

1/2 Tsp Parsley Flakes

Salt and Pepper (to taste)

Directions

Shred leftover chicken breast and add to pot with chicken broth. Cook on High while you chop garlic and onion. Add them to pot along with carrots and seasonings. Let cook approx. 20 minutes (carrots should be quite firm). Add biscuits to liquid, just placing them in pot. You do not have to drown them. Cover pot and cook for 5-8 minutes. Check for doneness by scraping top of one biscuit with a fork. It should be bready. Hmmmmm!
