Make ahead meals are perfect for weeknights in our house.. when we are running around like crazy people during the work week... One of the easiest and best tasting things to make ahead is shredded chicken. Typically I just throw some chicken in the crock pot for 3 hours and it comes out perfect and shreds on it's own. You can use shredded chicken in so many dishes and I found cooking it in the cock pot is the best way. Tonight I used pre-made shredded chicken for this southern night in our house.. shredded chicken over biscuits, Y'all.
What You'll Need:
- 1 pound cooked shredded chicken
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1/2 tablespoon salt
- 1/2 tablespoon pepper
- 1 cup milk
- 1 package of biscuit dough
What To Do:
In a skillet add a small amount of olive oil and heat up chicken and peas. At the same time place biscuits in the oven (honestly I used extra flaky store bought ones, followed the directions on the package and they turned out great!)
Heat the butter in a small saucepan over low heat until melted then add flour, salt and pepper and whisk until bubbly. Slowly sir in milk, continue to whisk so the sauce doesn't get lumpy. Cook for a few minutes until thick then add to the chicken mixture and mix together. 
I served this dinner as an open faced sandwich on top of the biscuits. This recipe is for a serving size of 4, but trust me, make more, its so delicious you'll eat the whole thing!
