Yet Another (Suprise!) Chicken Dish

Chicken and dumplings were on my mind today, especially when I happened upon some free potatoes.

So, what to do with the desire for chicken and dumplings when you have not yet conquored the way of the dumpling?  When you want a pot pie, but are just too darn tired?

You make a chicken skillet and serve it over biscuits or toasted sourdough!

Brown some chicken (4 cut up breasts, or a similar amount of chicken) in a skillet, remove then deglaze with some (about a third to half cup) white wine.  keep over the heat and get all the brown bits up.  As soon as you do that, add about 5 or 6 cups of chicken broth, a bit of your favourite chicken seasoning (in this case some pappy's brand seasoning and two bay leaves) and bring to a boil.  Add the chicken back in, along with some diced potatoes and whatever veggies you want (in this case a little frozen mixed and broccoli).  Simmer over medium heat for about an hour.  Remember to taste and adjust seasonings as you go :)  Finally, add some flour mixed with water to make a gravy as thick as you'd like (I like it pretty thick, so 2 tablespoons of flour in a bit of water works).

This was served over toasted sourdough bread, and there was nary a bite left.
