Description

Cozy up with Chicken and Dumplings in just 30 minutes! Tender shredded chicken, fluffy biscuit dumplings, and a creamy, savory sauce make this the ultimate comfort food for busy nights.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups cooked chicken, chopped or shredded (rotisserie, canned, frozen, or leftovers)

  • 2 tablespoons butter

  • 1 medium onion, diced

  • 2 stalks celery, diced

  • 2 carrots, peeled and sliced

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 4 cups chicken broth

  • 1 (12 oz) can evaporated milk

  • 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of chicken soup (or cream of celery/onion as substitute)

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • 1 (16 oz) can refrigerated biscuit dough

  • 1/4 cup flour (for tossing biscuit pieces)


Instructions

  1. In a large heavy-bottomed pot, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add onion, celery, carrots, and garlic. Cook, stirring often, until tender, about 6-8 minutes.

  2. Stir in the shredded cooked chicken, chicken broth, evaporated milk, and cream of chicken soup. Bring mixture to a simmer. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  3. Cut each biscuit into 4 equal pieces and lightly toss in flour to prevent sticking.

  4. Add the floured biscuit pieces to the simmering soup. Gently press them under the broth using a spoon or spatula.

  5. Cover the pot with a lid and cook the dumplings for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally so they don’t clump together.

  6. Check one dumpling to ensure it’s cooked through in the center. Once the biscuits are fluffy and cooked, serve immediately!

Notes

Feel free to swap in cream of celery or cream of onion soup if that’s what you have on hand.
Flour is key to prevent the biscuit pieces from sticking together.
Add peas, corn, or green beans for extra color and nutrients.
Leftovers thicken as they cool; stir in a splash of chicken broth when reheating.
