Chicken and Biscuits

September 28, 2022 By marketeditor

Adapted from the recipe by Blair Lonergan

Makes 6-8 servings

Prep time: 35 min 

Cook time: 22 min

Ingredients

*Ingredients currently available at the farmers’ market

For the filling:

  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup whole milk*
  • ⅓ cup butter
  • 1 cup chopped onion*
  • 1 cup peeled and chopped carrots*
  • 1 cup chopped celery*
  • 1 cup trimmed and chopped green beans*
  • 3 cloves of garlic*, finely chopped
  • ½ cup flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 4 cups cooked, diced or shredded chicken*
  • 1 sprig fresh rosemary*, 10 sprigs fresh thyme*, 8 fresh sage leaves*, all tied in a bundle

For the biscuits:

  • 2 cups biscuit mix
  • ⅔-¾ cup cold buttermilk (or sub with regular milk*)
  • ½ cup grated cheddar cheese*
  • 1 teaspoon finely chopped parsley*
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

Prepare the filling:

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Spray a 3-quart casserole dish with cooking spray and set aside.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together chicken broth and milk. Set aside.
  3. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, carrot, celery, and green beans; sauté for 5-7 minutes. Add garlic, stirring for 1 minute. Add flour and continue cooking and stirring for 1 more minute. Reduce heat to medium and gradually stir in the chicken broth mixture. Add the herb bundle.
  4. Continue cooking over medium heat, stirring regularly, until thick and bubbly (about 5-6 minutes). Make sure that the mixture doesn’t boil. Stir in the salt and pepper. Add chicken.
  5. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Cover with foil and bake for about 10 minutes while you prepare the biscuit dough.

Prepare biscuits:

  1. Use a fork to stir the biscuit mix, buttermilk, cheese, and parsley until a soft dough forms.
  2. Remove the chicken mixture from the oven, take off the cover, and give the filling a stir. Use a large scoop to drop about ¼-cup of the biscuit dough at a time onto the hot chicken mixture. You should have about 8 biscuits on top of the dish.
  3. Return to the oven and bake, uncovered, for about 12 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in a biscuit comes out clean.
  4. Stir melted butter and garlic powder; brush over warm biscuits, and serve.

Fall trends at the farmers’ market

September 28, 2022 By marketeditor

By Julia Howard

 

The whoosh of fall is here. It’s the time of year when we trade beach bags for light jackets, mums and pumpkins replace annual outdoor flowers, and summer salads give way to warm, comforting meals. While our lives are busy with obligations and activities, here are some ideas to slow down and get in the season’s spirit.

Fall Decor 

The season’s harvest of pumpkins and gourds of all shapes, sizes, and textures encourages creativity in indoor and outdoor decor. Hardy fall plants such as mums and flowering kale offer a fresh burst of autumnal color to front steps and window boxes. You can also find cut flowers and stunning dried wreaths at the Wednesday and Saturday farmers’ markets.

Warm Meals

Cooler temperatures call for soups, stews, and oven-roasted meals that have the benefit of warming the house without turning on the heat. Fall produce such as squash, Brussels sprouts, and freshly dug potatoes are ideal for roasting with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Stew meat, chicken, lamb, pork, and beef roasts are fall favorites. They are easy to prepare and result in flavorful meals.

Pumpkin Spice Everything

Love or loath, pumpkin spice is everywhere this time of year. Local producers do it right and use natural ingredients. From classic pumpkin pie by The Food Florist to pumpkin spice chèvre by Nettle Meadow, pumpkin spice products are aplenty at the farmers’ market. Are you looking to replicate the classic pumpkin pie spice yourself? Try Muddy Trail’s pumpkin streusel muffin mix and pumpkin pie seasoning (which is also excellent in pancakes on lattes, etc.).

Seasonal Comforts

Warm up with Feathered Antler’s soft knit hats and cozies as the temperature dips. Kim Dolan Designed has hand-dyed plush sweatshirts and long sleeve shirts. Kokinda Farm makes corn toasty warming pads perfect for relaxing and warming cold bed sheets. You can find comfort in a hot cup of locally roasted coffee or a custom tea blend from Something’s Brewing. Or maybe a Slate Valley Farms’ maple syrup drizzle on a steamy bowl of oatmeal. However you find comfort, fall encourages the pursuit. 

The Saratoga Farmers’ Market is open Wednesdays from 3 to 6 p.m. and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at High Rock Park. The farmers’ market will move to the Wilton Mall on November 5. Find us online at www.saratogafarmersmarket.org and follow us on Facebook and Instagram.
