Salt and pepper
1 tbsp. butter

Says who? Really, whatever happened to tolerance for other people's tastes and opinions? Who made you the ultimate authority?

There is still room for everyone (at least for now) on this planet.

 Micheal Gibson (Tennessee) replies:
Thomas is correct, this is not a recipe for smothered chicken. It is actually a chicken and gravy casserole.

Dredge in flour or rice flour for gluten free, brown the chicken well, pour off the fat, put chicken back in pan. Salt and pepper to taste. Pour chicken broth 1/2 way up chick. Cover and bake until tender. Remove cover last 1/2 hr, add whipping cream to 1/2 way up chick, finish baking. Freezes well. That's smothered chicken!

 Julie (Louisiana) replies:
I agree Ginger. Thats how I've always made smothered chicken. Yes Micheal I would call this a casserole. I'm kind scared to try it. Seems like the biscuits would cook too much?

Gosh. I just came here to find a recipe But I found the same kind of meanness I find on forums on Craigs List. Can't we go anywhere on the Net anymore where civility reigns?

 Faron (Arizona) replies:
I agree with Kathie, if you don't like what they say or disagree then state your answer but no name calling... is this about sharing cooking ideas and different tastes?

 MLR (Pennsylvania) replies:
It isn't mean to simply point out a fact. That view is a product of a generation that says everything is mean that dares be in disagreement with another. It simply does not match the historical dish(es) known as "smothered chicken". I grew up on smothered chicken, and to say that this dish isn't S.C. isn't to say that it might not taste good, just that it isn't smothered chicken.

My goodness, you guys sound like teenage girls on Facebook! Grow up! It's just a recipe either try it and judge on taste or go to another recipe. These comments should be limited to good to try or not...

biscuits absorbed all the milk and when more milk was added it made the bottom of the biscuits feel like soggy dumplings. I normally just prepare cutup chicken like i'm going to keep fry it, but pan fry it until almost finished (using as least grease as possible i like using extra virgin olive oil)... i make a gravy out of the grease by discarding the grease all but a 3 tablespoons, adding cut up onions and some chopped garlic. I let the onions cook down and then add some flour to the onions. I let it cook for about 5 minutes and add either water or chicken broth the the flour mix slowly stirring with a whisk as to not get lumps. i add the chicken back in cooking at a slow boil until sauce thickens and chicken is cooked throughly... normally bout 20 minutes.

It is good to have a United Nations appetite, where we can all eat other peoples cooking. What qualifies you to determine which recipe is right. Just eat it, you might like it.
