Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 8 ounces cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 6 buttermilk biscuits, baked
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until they are golden and tender.

Step 3

Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and stir well, cooking for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 4

Gradually whisk in the chicken broth until smooth. Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes until it begins to thicken.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, salt, and pepper.

Step 6

Add the cooked shredded chicken to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the gravy is thick and creamy.

Step 7

Split the baked buttermilk biscuits in half and place them on plates.

Step 8

Ladle the chicken and mushroom gravy over the biscuits generously.

Step 9

Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
