Nope. I added them during the last hour of cooking in the crockpot.

I was wondering if you cook the biscuts first. Also if I use cornbread, do I use already made cornbread and crumble that into the recipe?

My boys are 3 and 5 and are very pick eaters! I think I’m gonna make this on Friday!!
I also work 10 hrs a day and dont get done till 6pm so my crockpot is my best friend!!

I live in NJ and shop at Acme and Shop-Rite … I buy chicken with it is on sale @ Acme for $1/lb!! If you watch for the sale you can even get boneless, skinless breast for $1/lb!! They also have about once a month (sometimes even more frequently) 4 packs for $19.99 of different meats .. and look at the prices on the meats themselves because I always pick through the meats and grab the ones that have the highest regular prices so I get the best deal! Sometimes they even have Tyson chicken nuggets or Gordon’s Fishsticks on the sale and I always find coupons for those so you get even more savings!!!

Do I have to cook the biscuits before putting them in the crockpot? Or just throw them in?

Note:
The gluten-free white sauce recipe makes half of the amount of sauce you need for this dish.
I have added another cup of soy milk cooked with a little arrowroot powder (I used it in place of the cornstarch) and I added a little more water than suggested, but only a couple tablespoons more.
I didn’t have quite enough mixed veggies or other frozen veggies to make 16 oz by weight. I ended up putting in 5 oz of mixed veggies, 4 oz of corn, and 2 oz of butternut squash.
Because of working off of 25 bucks and what I’ve got in my kitchen this week I’ve had to learn to experiment big time.
*crosses fingers*
I did have everything for a gluten-free cornbread from The Gluten-Free Vegan.

I’m new to most crock pot cooking. Do you have to thaw the chicken before putting it in? I have frozen boneless skinless chicken breasts.

I tried the recipe Sunday. The chicken was so tender it just fell apart and the biscuits were lovely. The only thing was that it tasted a little bland so next time I’m going to add some spices.

Thank you so much for the gfcf white sauce recipe! We are going completely gfcf after the first of the year and I am scouring the Internet looking for alternatives to our favorite foods. I will be keeping an eye on your blog, Erin, as I can use all the frugal recipes I can find!

Have you ever tried Arrowhead Mills GF baking mix? We use it occasionally in Bisquick-type recipes.

I just made some cheddar-garlic biscuits with it last night. I did have to make some modifications from the Bisquick recipe because of the GF flour, but they were yummy! (We use raw sharp cheddar for our cheese as our lactose-intolerent family members can handle raw milk products, but not “regular” milk products.)

There are frequently coupons for Arrowhead Mills not only at their websites, but in the “organic” coupon booklets. Plus, if you call them, they’ll send you some coupons…at least they did for me a couple of years ago.

Looks just delicious.

I'm a frugal woman too, trying to lose weight on weight watchers.

I love your blog. Hope you get a chance to check out mine!
