Chicken and Biscuits with Gravy is a classic comfort dish rooted in Southern American cuisine. It typically consists of tender, shredded or fried chicken served atop fluffy, buttery biscuits, smothered in a rich, creamy gravy. The gravy is often made from milk or cream, flour, and pan drippings, lending to its savory and indulgent flavor. While the dish is hearty and satisfying, it's also calorie-dense due to the use of butter, cream, and frying techniques. The protein from the chicken offers nourishment, and whole-grain biscuits can add fiber if substituted for the traditional recipe. However, moderation is suggested as its high fat and sodium content may not suit all dietary needs. For a lighter variation, grilled chicken and low-fat gravy can be used, providing a healthier twist without compromising on taste.
