  1. Very quick and very easy to make. I did cut the biscuits in eighths and cooked them in individual soup turreens (made 5 in all). Was a bit bland. Needs spices.
     
  2. The only change I made was in using turkey instead of chicken. It was very bland and I wouldn't make it again. If you want to try this recipe I would use some fresh cream or half and half - add some extra flour or corn flour for thickener - red pepper flakes for heat and a tsp of either italian seasoning mix or a tsp of poultry seasonings. That's just my thoughts
     
  3. This appeared to be a little bland for our liking, my husband doesn't eat onions so I changed it a bit. I used 2 cups of chicken broth, 1 cup heavy whipping cream and 1 cup milk along with some chicken bouillon and twice the butter. I also added 1 tsp. of salt instead of the 1/2 tsp. called for along with some freshly ground white pepper. Some additional flour is necessary with the addition of the extra liquid. It turned out luscious and very creamy.
     
  4. This recipe was yummy and so easy to make. I already had some cooked chicken breast in the fridge so it took no time at all to make. I did have to use about 2 cups of broth to make more sauce but other than that I followed the recipe. Thanks for posting.
     
  5. I made this with turkey leftovers. I began by following directions exactly (except for the turkey) and found that 3 teaspoons of flour is not near enough to thicken the broth. I ended up adding an additional 2 tablespoons of four (with a little cold broth) to the mixture to get it to thicken. After adding all the ingredients, I found it to be a bit bland so I added some thyme. Sorry, but even with the biscuts, it was just ok to me. I don't think the turkey made any difference. I think I prefer an ala king recipe that has a more creamy base and more seasonings.
