Chicken Alfredo & Biscuits

If you start to poke around my kitchen, you’ll notice an abundance of canned and jarred sauces.

I love to keep tomato, alfredo, and curry sauces on hand. There’s so much you can do with them. If you need to whip up a dinner real quick, just grab a jar, some protein, and either rice or pasta. Dinner is served!

There was a fire sale on jarred alfredo sauce a few weeks ago so I bought a bunch of jars. Is it like the real thing? Absolutely not. But jarred alfredo sauce can be dressed up really nice if you have a few extra ingredients.

I like to make steak alfredo with mushrooms and peas. Chicken alfredo gets a facelift with broccoli, fresh basil, and shredded parmesan. You also can think outside of the pasta box when it comes to alfredo sauce—use it as a base for pot pies, mashed potatoes, rice, or biscuits.

Wait…biscuits?!

You read that right.

Alfredo sauce is basically one step away from being what Americans call “gravy”. The only difference in the two is the addition of parmesan and sometimes garlic. It’s no wonder that biscuits and alfredo sauce go so well together, then.

This recipe is like a pot pie but a whole lot easier. The hardest thing to do is cook the chicken—which is a cinch in and of itself. Everything else about this recipe is incredibly easy: frozen broccoli, jarred pasta sauce, a can of biscuits—everything is pre-made.

In the end, this alfredo and biscuit recipe was a doozy. It was so delicious, so filling, and a delight to eat.

Spice up your alfredo game with this recipe.

Enjoy!
