This recipe for Chicken Stuffed Biscuits, filled with shredded chicken, gravy, olives, and eggs is perfect to serve for breakfast or brunch or on the go.
Baking Powder Biscuits
For centuries, a biscuit referred to a dry, hard, twice-baked cake that was a staple for sailors and soldiers. It wasn’t until the 19th century that the fluffy, light biscuits that we know today originated.
Increased wheat production made flour more affordable and the development of chemical leaveners, like baking soda and baking powder, provided a much-needed lift to the biscuits.
Filling, Stuffing, and Dressing
The practice of stuffing things with mixtures of grains, meats, spices and other chopped ingredients is ancient. The first documented recipes using stuffing comes from a Roman cookbook published between the 2nd century BC and the 1st Century AD called Apicius de re Coquinaria. It even has a recipe for stuffed dormouse. Yummy!
Perhaps the notion to stuff things came from a desire to fill the emptiness, like the cavity of pepper or a chicken, with something. Maybe it provided a sense of abundance.
Stuffing something as delectable as a flakey, fluffy baking powder biscuit with chicken and gravy definitely feels abundant to me.
These Chicken Stuffed Biscuits are great to serve at breakfast or for a Mother’s Day or Easter Brunch. They even make a great grab-and-go lunch.
