Instructions
 

  • Cook peas, onion, mushrooms and bell peppers in boiling water in a covered pan 5 minutes; drain; save the liquid!
  • Set mixture aside.

Notes

NOTE: Be sure to save the liquid you cook the vegetables in for the sauce.
 
 
NOTE: While I used homemade biscuits, King Hawaiian Rolls or any kind of baked,
refrigerated biscuits will work fine too.
 
NOTE: I have served this over toast, rice and noodles before, although my preference is to serve the chicken over homemade rolls or biscuits.
