  • Pour enough chicken stock over the chicken to cover the chicken.
  • Place a lid on the pan and put into preheated oven for about an hour.

Notes

Here are 3 top tips for making Mom’s Easy Chicken and Biscuits:
  1. Use Bone-In Thighs for Maximum Flavor
    Don’t swap these out! Bone-in chicken thighs give the broth a rich, savory depth that boneless cuts just can’t match.
  2. Bake Low and Slow
    The long baking time helps tenderize the chicken and allows the flavors to meld—don’t rush it. It’s what makes this recipe taste like it came straight from Mom’s oven.
  3. Add Biscuits at the End
    Wait until the last 20 minutes to add the canned biscuits on top. This prevents them from getting soggy and lets them bake up golden and fluffy.
