Starr,

Here is also the beer-mustard marinade I mentioned. This one I made up myself. Although I only cooked 2 chicken breasts, there should be enough liquid/marinade to do 4-6 breasts.

1 bottle beer (this time I used Yiengling)
2 cloves garlic roughly chopped
1 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons coarse or spicy mustard
pinch of thyme and sage
salt to taste

Mix all ingredients in a bowl or shallow baking pan. Place chicken in mixture and allow to marinate at least 1/2 hour. Bake at 350 for 20-30 minutes (or until done). Turn chicken breasts once.

Enjoy--Courtney

Starr,

Here is the recipe for the biscuits I made...please make sure to read the addendum at the bottom (I altered the recipe, which I found on Epicurious.com a little)

Cheddar Scallion Drop Biscuits
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons sugar
3/4 baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons butter cut into 1/2 inch cubes
6 oz cheddar coarsley grated (1 1/2 c)
3 scallions finely chopped
1 cup well-shaken buttermilk

Preheat oven to 450F

Whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, baking soda, salt, then blend in butter with fingertips until the mixture resembles a coarse meal. Stir in cheddar and scallions. Add buttermilk and stir until just combined.

Drop dough in 12 equal portions, approximately 2 inches apart on a well-buttered cookie sheet. Bake 18-20 minutes or until golden brown.

*** I used green onion instead of scallion. I also added 2 tablespoons of polenta/corn meal with the dry ingredients; and 2 tablespoons of habanero salsa with the buttermilk.

Enjoy--Courtney
