30 Minute Chicken And Biscuits

This chicken and biscuits recipe is so cheap and easy that you'll definitely want to include it in your weeknight recipe rotation. My oldest son likes to think of it more like a quick chicken pot pie. With the whole meal coming together in only 30 minutes, it will fit into any mom's (or students) busy schedule. Of course the benefit of having only one dish to wash always helps.
