Chicken 'n' Biscuits

1 medium onion, chopped
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 cups milk
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/3 cup cream soup substitute mix plus 1 tsp. chicken bouillon OR 1 can cream of chicken soup
8 oz. water
1 (16 ounce) package frozen mixed vegetables
2 cups cubed, cooked chicken ( I used 2 chicken breasts)
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (I used cheddar as I didn't have any parmesan)
BISCUITS:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup milk or water
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley


In a saucepan, saute onion in oil until tender. Stir in flour, basil and pepper until blended. Gradually stir in milk and Worcestershire sauce until smooth. Add cream soup and water. Bring to a boil; boil and stir for 2 minutes. Stir in vegetables, chicken and Parmesan cheese; reduce heat to low.
Meanwhile, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Combine milk, oil and parsley; stir into dry ingredients just until combined. Transfer hot chicken mixture to a greased 2-1/2-qt. baking dish. Drop biscuit batter by rounded tablespoonfuls onto chicken mixture. Bake, uncovered, at 375 degrees F for 30-40 minutes or until biscuits are lightly browned.
