Festive foods take on new meaning when made with serious craft beer. And who doesn’t like chicken, beer and biscuits?

This tasty recipe comes our way from Chico, California-based Sierra Nevada Brewing and it uses the brewery’s classic Pale Ale, 5.6% hop-forward masterpiece that helped create the modern craft beer movement.

This delicious skillet dish is simple to make, hearty but not too heavy and the beer really adds something.

So let’s do this!
