Homemade Chicken and Dumplings

Homemade Chicken and Dumplings

Ingredients:

  • 1 rotisserie chicken (or any cooked chicken of your choice)
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 1 can refrigerated biscuits (e.g., Pillsbury Grands)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Chicken:
    • Remove the meat from the rotisserie chicken, discarding the skin and bones. Shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Heat the Broth:
    • In a large pot, bring the chicken broth to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the Cream of Chicken Soup:
    • Once the broth is boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low.
    • Add the can of cream of chicken soup to the broth.
    • Whisk the mixture until the soup is fully incorporated and the broth is smooth.
  4. Add the Chicken:
    • Stir the shredded chicken into the broth and soup mixture.
    • Allow the chicken to heat through for a few minutes.
  5. Prepare the Biscuits:
    • Open the can of refrigerated biscuits and cut each biscuit into quarters or smaller pieces, depending on your preference.
  6. Add the Biscuits:
    • Gently drop the biscuit pieces into the simmering pot, stirring occasionally to prevent them from sticking together.
  7. Season:
    • Add a small layer of pepper to the pot and stir well.
    • Taste and add salt and additional pepper if desired.
  8. Simmer:
    • Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 5-10 minutes, or until the biscuits are cooked through and tender. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
  9. Serve:
    • Once the biscuits are fully cooked, your chicken and dumplings are ready to serve. Ladle the hot mixture into bowls and enjoy!

Tips:

  • Variations: Add vegetables like peas, carrots, or celery for extra flavor and nutrition.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave.
  • Budget-Friendly: To make this dish even more budget-friendly, use leftover chicken from a previous meal or cook your own chicken breast.

Enjoy a hearty, comforting bowl of homemade chicken and dumplings with minimal effort and maximum flavor!
