Serves: 5

Ingredients:

• 5 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves

• vegetable oil

• 1 can (10¾ oz.) Campbell's Condensed Cream of Celery Soup

• 1 can (10¾ oz.) Campbell's Condensed Cream of Potato Soup

• 1 cup milk

• 1 package refrigerated buttermilk biscuits (17 oz. Pillsbury Grands work well)

Instructions:

• 1. Cut chicken into approx. 1 inch cubes. (You might want to do this at home. Remember to wash the cutting board and knife well.)

  2. Heat Dutch oven over a good bed of coals. Pour in oil (enough to cover bottom). Cook chicken in oil, stirring frequently until it's no longer pink.

  3. Add soups, milk, water, thyme, pepper, and vegetables. Stir. Cover with lid.

  4. Reduce briquettes underneath to about 9, and put about a dozen coals on top. Bake for about 15 minutes or until hot.

  5. Stir. Arrange biscuits over chicken mixture. Bake 20 minutes more until biscuits are golden (check halfway through baking and adjust the number of coals if necessary).
