Chicken and Cheddar Garlic Biscuits

Yes, that is our Christmas tree. It is now a Valentine’s Day tree. Notice the red and white ornaments. Our cat loves sleeping under the tree and we just couldn’t take it away from her. She has her own little tunnel in underneath it and she has move the tree skirt to her liking. She is such a good baby that we decided to start decorating it for all the holidays.  Later this month it is green ornaments for St. Patrick’s Day – our favorite holiday of the year!

Sometimes we just crave comfort food. I am always hesitant because sometimes it can take hours to make especially if you are craving meat, gravy, and carbs. This is one of favorite go to comfort dishes because it comes together fairly easily and you can use frozen vegetables so you don’t need to cut the vegetables. A huge plus in my book!

Verdict:

This is a hit! The family loved the chicken gravy and the biscuits brushed with butter and garlic added a deeper flavor to the biscuits. For the gravy you can add a bit of garlic or extra thyme if  you want even more flavor. This was a perfect comfort food dinner for us.

I served this with a side of sliced raw vegetables to complete the meal.

    I like the idea of keeping the tree and adjusting its decoration to the time of the year and its festivities. Very cool! Most of all, since the tree is a symbol of life and life should be celebrated!
