Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    I roasted 4 large chicken breasts for about 50 minutes, which yielded plenty of meat. I used 4 cups low-salt canned broth, 1 cup water, 1 bouillon cube, and the full amount of salt and thought the seasoning was just right. If using 2 bouillon cubes, I'd probably reduce the salt. I used "only" 6 Tbsp butter in the filling and it turned out great - plenty thick and rich. Omitted the pearl onions, as my son doesn't like them, and increased the peas a bit. Prepared the stew 1 day ahead and reheated it a bit longer. Made the biscuits with buttermilk instead of half-and-half, and they were still fairly light and tender, although I'm sure half-and-half would be even better. I skipped the egg wash (lazy) so my biscuits were lighter in color. Overall, we loved this. It made a lot (4 dinner servings + 3 lunches).

    This was really good. I chose this because I have never actually baked biscuits on top of a stew before so Barefoot Contessa seemed like a good place to start. The recipe was halved easily which gave the 2 of us a great dinner and fantastic leftovers for lunch (which really is a big deal in this house! ). I did replace some of the chicken stock with white wine and added some leeks, roasted red pepper, celery and fresh thyme leaves to the mix. As much as I always use my food processor to cut fat into pastry and my stand mixer to make yeast dough, I have never carried out every biscuit step in the stand mixer before -but it worked for these. The whole dish is a repeater for sure.

    ...the flavor from the beer was actually very subtle. I could smell the beer in the dish, and the flavor was there but it was nicely mixed with the chicken and vegetables and biscuits and herbs.
