Description
This easy Chicken and Dumplings with Biscuits recipe is a comforting one-pot meal featuring tender shredded chicken, flavorful vegetables, and fluffy biscuit dumplings simmered in a creamy broth.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 large yellow onion, diced
- 3 stalks celery, sliced
- ½ cup matchstick carrots
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 cups cooked and shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken recommended)
- 40 oz chicken broth
- 8 oz evaporated milk or half and half
- 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of chicken soup
- Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
- 1 (16.3 oz) can buttermilk biscuits (optional: add an extra 5 oz can for more dumplings)
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
Instructions
- In a large heavy-bottomed pot, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add diced onion, sliced celery, matchstick carrots, and minced garlic. Cook, stirring often, until the vegetables are tender, about 6 to 8 minutes.
- Stir in the shredded cooked chicken, chicken broth, evaporated milk (or half and half), and the can of cream of chicken soup. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Season with salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste.
- Cut each buttermilk biscuit into four equal pieces. Lightly toss these biscuit pieces in the all-purpose flour to coat them evenly.
- Gently add the floured biscuit pieces to the simmering soup. Lightly press them under the broth using a spoon or spatula. Cover the pot with a lid and cook the dumplings for about 8 to 10 minutes. During cooking, if the dumplings stick together, break them apart and press them back under the broth.
- Test one dumpling piece to ensure it is cooked through and no longer raw in the center. Once done, serve the chicken and dumplings immediately while hot and comforting.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken for convenience.
- Feel free to add extra vegetables if desired.
- Adjust seasoning to your taste.
