"MOTHER had two special ways of fixing chicken—browning serving-size pieces in fresh butter, or preparing this delicious sauce with the chicken added. Either way, our family loved Mother's chicken!"

My go to recipe for chicken & biscuits! I usually quadruple it as we have a large family and love left overs! However, when multiplying the recipe it is necessary to cut back slightly on the butter!!! Delish!

Delicious!!! We also served over rice and I used broth to cook the chicken.
