Vegetables: Add the vegetables you like; peas, corn, green beans, lima beans. You can also add a bag of frozen soup vegetables. this makes things really easy!

**When sharing Chicken & Biscuits it works best to bake ahead of time and let them reheat. The biscuits will not do well sitting in gravy for very long with out baking.
