Most diabetics (who have controlled blood sugar) can enjoy this old-fashion type chicken and biscuits casserole once in awhile. Remember, one of the most important things for a diabetic is quantity, This recipe makes eight servings. A diabetic should only have one servings. This casserole contains meat, vegetables, dairy and bread. No need to add more items to your meal.
1 medium onion, chopped
2 tsp olive or coconut oil
1/4 cup white whole-wheat flour (Or use almond flour)
2 tsp olive or coconut oil
1/4 cup white whole-wheat flour (Or use almond flour)
1/2 tsp dried basil
1//2 tsp dried thyme
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 1/2 cups fat-free milk
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 pkg (16-oz) frozen mixed vegetables
2 cups cubed cooked chicken
2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
Sauté onion in the oil in a saucepan until tender. Stir in the flour, basil, thyme, and pepper until well blended. Gradually stir in the milk and Worcestershire sauce until mixture is smooth. Bring to a boil and boil 2 minutes. Stir in the vegetables, chicken, and cheese; reduce heat to low while you make the biscuits.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Grease an oblong 2 1/2-quart baking dish; set aside.
Biscuits:
3/4 cup white whole-wheat flour (I recommend this flour. If you have an alternative that works good for you, by all means use it.)
1/4 cup all-purpose flour (Or almond flour)
1 tbsp Splenda Granulated
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/3 cup fat-free milk
3 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp minced fresh parsley
Combine flours, Splenda, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. In a separate small bowl, combine milk, oil and parsley; stir into the flour mixture just until combined.
Transfer the hot chicken mixture to the prepared baking dish. Drop biscuit dough by rounded tablespoonfuls, making 8 biscuits, onto the hot chicken mixture.
Bake at 375 degrees for 30 to 40 minutes until biscuits are lightly browned and chicken mixture is bubbly.
