Chicken Biscuit with Eggs and Grits


Last year around the end of September and beginning of October, a friend and I went to West Virginia to watch my college play football while there we went to this restaurant called Perkin’s Restaurant & Bakery  and the food was great. We both tried this chicken biscuit that was covered in gravy and cheese and for this meal I tried to replicate but with my own twist. The ingredients needed for this meal are:

Boneless Skinless Chicken Tenders (cut in half)
Italian Dressing
Buttermilk Biscuits
Eggs
Gravy (kind you prefer)
Quick Grits
Shredded Cheese
Along with these items from home:
Skillet
Large Pot
Small Pot
Cookie Sheet
2 Bowls


First remove chicken from packaging and put in bowl (Remember to wash hand when handling chicken). Then pour the Italian dressing over the chicken, cover and place in refrigerator for about 2 hour to marinade.




Then with the Skillet adding a little oil and heating it and cook the chicken until light brown.  




Place chicken on paper towel to drain extra grease and set aside.




For the side items you can choose what you want, but I brought items that could be made fast.

The biscuits I took out of the can and place on the cookie sheet in a preheated of 350° for about 10 minutes or until golden brown.





I made the grits the same way I did before when I cooked the Sausage and Egg Casserole. Boiling water with salt and then adding the grits until they are thick then add butter.





For the gravy, I just opened the can and place in pot and warmed on the stove until it was ready to be served.




The last thing I did was make the eggs, you can cook them any way you want, and I scrambled mine and added cheese on top.





Once everything was cooked I plated the food. First I cut open a biscuit and place 2 pieces of the chicken in it then putting the top back on the biscuit. Next I put gravy over the biscuit and sprinkled with cheese. Add the grits and eggs to the plate to finish it up.


Serve.




Enjoy.

Sausage and Egg Casserole


I have a roommate who loves having breakfast for dinner anytime she can get it. So today I decided to do just that for her. I wanted to make a meal that was non-traditional breakfast meal, not knowing many recipes for those types of meals I looked on Pinterest. I found this recipe for Sausage and Egg Casserole on Casserole Recipe.

In addition to the casserole I wanted to try and make one of the dishes I have a hard time making. This is going to shock some because it so simple to make but I have the hardest time making GRITS. Yes, I know it weird but for me getting them right is so hard, so I am attempting them today. These are the ingredients for the casserole and grits:

8 slices white bread, cut in cubes
1 pound bulk pork sausage, crumbled and cooked
1 1/2 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
10 large eggs
2 cups milk
2 teaspoons dry mustard
Salt
 Pepper
¾ cups of Grits
3 cups of Water
Butter
Along with these items from home:
Glass Pan
Bowl
Spatula
Measuring Spoons
Knife
Cutting Board
Whisk
Pot

Preheat the oven to 350°.

Then I began the casserole by cooking the sausage, then draining the grease off of it.






Set the sausage aside.

Cut the bread into cubes and place in the glass pan.





Then layer the sausage and cheese in the glass pan.





In a bowl mix the eggs, dry mustard, milk, salt and pepper. Then pour over the bread, sausage and cheese.








Place the pan in the oven for 50 minutes or until eggs are cooked.

The casserole will be golden brown when done.





For the grits (which I succeeded in make) should only take about 10 minutes.

First add Grits and salt to boiling water.






Reduce heat and cover for 5 minutes or until the grits reach the right thickness.





Perfectly made Grits.

To round out the meal I added some canned fruit.







Serve.







Enjoy!

Again I brought items for 2 meals at Walmart, so the total cost for this meal was: $16.09
