Ingredients:

• 2 lbs. chicken breast
• 1 cup chicken stock
• 2 teaspoons Morton Nature’s Seasoning Blend
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons cold water

Biscuits:

• 2 cups flour (plus a bit extra for rolling)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 cup ice-cold butter (place butter in freezer 20-30 minutes before making biscuits) – use a box grater to shred while frozen
• 3/4 cup whole milk (or at least 2% NOT skim)

Directions:

1. Place chicken breasts, seasoning, and chicken stock in slow cooker on low for 6-7 hours until cooked through. Shred chicken when completely cooked through.
2. When you are ready to make the biscuits (or the night before) preheat oven to 425 degrees. Spray a pan with non-stick spray or grease with butter. Can be cake tin, pie plate, whatever you prefer.
3. Mix flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder in a bowl until well combined.
4. Add COLD grated butter to the bowl.  Cut the butter into the flour mix with a pastry cutter or fork. Try not to use your hands because you want the ingredients to stay cold. The mixture will look like pieces of large sand when fully combined. You want little chunks of butter.
5. Stir COLD milk into the mixture (add a dash or two of milk if needed).
6. Once dough has turned into a ball place it on a well floured surface to knead and roll.  Knead the dough together about 4-6 times so that it is no longer sticky.
7. Roll with a well floured rolling-pin to 1/2″ to 2/3″ thickness.
8. Cut in circles using a glass or cookie cutter. Place in baking pan. Biscuits can touch in pan.
9. Re-roll any scraps to make another few biscuits but be careful not to overwork the dough.
10. Bake 15-20 minutes until golden brown on top.
11. While biscuits are baking or when you are 1/2 hour or so from serving mix the cornstarch and cold water until cornstarch melts. Turn slow cooker to high and whisk into the chicken. Cover and allow to cook for 15-20 minutes. Stir mixture several times. If it is not thick enough add another teaspoon cornstarch and cold water letting it rest 10 minutes in between each addition until desired thickness occurs. Taste gravy and add additional salt and black pepper as needed. You will need additional salt and pepper to balance out the cornstarch flavor if you make it too thick add a bit of chicken stock to thin.
12. Serve chicken over warmed biscuits.
