This meal is the definition of comfort food! For our co-owner Mark, it was his Nana's favorite way to use up the left over chicken in the fridge. This meal is easy, quick, and a perfect cozy winter treat!
Ingredients
blank
No. 8 Cast Iron Skillet or any 10.5” inch skillet
blank
1 onion, chopped
1 Tbsp butter
1/2 C water or chicken stock
4 C left over chopped cooked chicken (grilled, broiled, canned, etc)
1 10oz can cream of chicken soup
1 C sour cream
1/2 C milk
1 C shredded cheddar cheese
1 tube Grands!™ biscuits
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
On medium heat, melt butter in your cast iron skillet, and saute onions until tender.
Pour skillet contents in a medium mixing bowl. On medium heat, deglaze by adding chicken stock/water and bringing to a simmer. This will release any flavors stuck to the bottom of the skillet. Add the liquid to the mixing bowl and stir in the cooked chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and milk. Mix well, then pour back into the skillet. Bake for 15 minutes.
Remove from the oven. Sprinkle most of the cheddar cheese over the dish. Arrange Grand’s biscuits in a single layer over top. Sprinkle with remaining cheese.
Bake for about 20 minutes until the biscuits are golden brown and sauce is bubbly. Serve immediately.

Rosemary Brown Butter Skillet Chicken Thighs
Crispy-skinned chicken thighs, browned in a Lancaster No. 8 Skillet and finished with nutty brown butter, fresh rosemary, garlic, and a squeeze of lemon. It’s the kind of dinner that feels a little special without requiring much work.
German Pancakes with Warm Berry Compote
There’s something wonderfully simple about a plate of homemade German pancakes. They’re thin, tender, and lightly crisp around the edges, less fluffy than an American pancake and perfect for stacking, folding, or topping with whatever you have on hand.
For this version, we’re keeping things classic: a simple, lightly sweetened pancake cooked in butter on the Lancaster No. 8 Griddle, then topped with a warm berry compote made with fresh lemon and a touch of vanilla.
Classic Cherry Skillet Pie with Red Wine
This is a classic cherry pie at heart: a buttery, flaky crust, plenty of juicy cherries, and a sweet-tart filling that bubbles into the crust as it bakes. The little twist is a splash of red wine in the filling, it doesn't overpower the cherries, but adds a subtle richness and brings out their deeper, almost jammy flavor. Baked in cast iron, the crust turns beautifully golden and crisp while the filling bubbles around the edges.
