This is an untraditional, but quick and very delicious way to make chicken
soup. My family loves it.
Roasted Chicken Soup
1 lb. Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast
4 Carrots, Cut Into 1/2-Inch Slices
2 Celery Stalks, Cut Into 1/2-Inch Slices
Cooking Oil
Seasoning Salt
Water
Chicken Bouillon Cubes
Onion Powder
1 garlic clove, minced
Salt and Pepper
Place the chicken breast on a baking pan along with the carrots and celery.
Sprinkle with seasoning salt (amount is up to you) and drizzle with a little
oil, then mix all together with a large spoon, spatula or your hands. Roast in
a 375 degrees F oven for 30-35 minutes or until chicken is done and carrots and
celery are tender. While chicken mixture is roasting, fill a dutch oven about 1/3
of the way with water and add enough chicken bouillon cubes to give it good
flavor. Also add the onion powder, garlic and salt and pepper. When chicken
mixture is done, add it to the water/bouillon mixture and heat on medium-high
until heated through. Serves 4.
Cheddar Garlic Biscuits
2 Cups All-Purpose Flour
1 tsp. Salt
2 tsp. Baking Powder
1 Garlic Clove, Minced
1/2 C. Butter (no substitutes)
1/2 C. Cheddar Cheese
2/3 C. Milk
Mix the flour, salt, baking powder and garlic in a large bowl. Cut 5 1/2
Tbsp. of the butter in chunks and add it to the flour mixture and cut it in with
a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture has relatively small pieces of
butter throughout. Add the cheese and mix, then the milk and mix only until
combined (over-working the mixture will lead to tough biscuits). If mixture is
sticky, add a little flour. Shape into biscuits a couple inches wide and an inch
or so tall with your hands and place on the baking sheet that you roasted the
chicken & vegetables on (don't clean it... the drippings add flavor to the
biscuits). Bake in a 425 degrees F oven for about 12 minutes until bottoms are golden
brown. Melt the remaining 2 1/2 Tbsp. butter and drizzle over the biscuits.
Makes 9-12 biscuits.
