Instructions
Filling
- In a large bowl add the bones less skinless chicken thighs and season with garlic powder, salt, pepper, smoked paprika and some oil from the sun dried tomatoes.
- Mix to until all the chicken thighs are well coated and set aside.
- In a large pan over medium heat, add some olive oil and cook the marinated chicken thighs on both sides until they are golden brown. About 3-4 minutes per side.
- Once cooked cut into bite sized pieces set aside.
- To the same pan, add some onions and sauté for 1-2 minutes. Then, add that with the diced potatoes.
- Allow the potatoes to cook for 4-5 minutes. Stir every 1-2 minutes.
Marry Me Gravy
- Deglaze the pan with some white wine. I’m using Chardonnay but any dry white wine will do.
- All the wine to cook out and the potatoes to absorb most of the liquid.
- Now, add in butter. Once the butter has melted, sprinkle in the flour.
- Stir to incorporate the sautéed onions and potatoes with the flour and butter.
- Next, pour in the chicken broth and continue to stir.
- As the gravy starts to thicken, add the chopped pieces of chicken and sun dried tomatoes. Stir to combine.
- Follow that with heavy cream, garlic, thyme, oregano, salt, pepper and smoked paprika. Continue to stir.
- Finally add freshly chopped spinach.
- Give it a final mix, remove from and set aside.
Herb Butter Sauce
- In a small bowl, mix together all ingredients listed under “Herb Butter Sauce” and set aside.
Cheddar Bay Biscuit Topping
- To a bowl add the dry biscuit mix, cheddar cheese and milk. Using a fork, mix together until the dough starts to form. Be care not to over mix here. You really just need to stir enough to get a shaggy dough.
Assemble
- Pre-heat your oven to 425F.
- Transfer the filling to the baking dish of your choice. I decided to divide the filling between 6-6oz ramekins. Top each ramekin with the cheddar bay biscuit dough.
- Place on a baking tray, and bake until the biscuit topping is cooked through and golden brown, about 14-16 minutes.
- As soon as they come out of the oven, brush on the herb garlic butter and serve. Enjoy!
