Ingredients: Chicken and Dumplings with Canned Biscuits
- 48 oz. chicken broth
- 10.5 oz. cream of chicken soup
- 3 c. cooked shredded chicken
- 2 cans refrigerated buttermilk biscuits
- 1 c. chopped carrots
- 1 c. chopped celery
- kosher salt, to taste

How to Make Chicken and Dumplings with Canned Biscuits
- Heat chicken broth in a large pot on medium-high heat until gently boiling. Add cream of chicken soup, garlic powder, black pepper, kosher salt, and onion powder; stir until incorporated.
- Add chicken, carrots, and celery to the chicken broth mixture; stir.
- Cut biscuits into small pieces (I usually do 6 per biscuit) and place in chicken broth mixture. Stir immediately and continue stirring for the next 3-5 minutes.
- Reduce heat to medium or medium-low and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, for 20-25 minutes.
- Test a dumpling; if it is still doughy on the inside, continue cooking for a few additional minutes. If you want a thinner consistency, you can add more chicken broth or a mixture of chicken broth and water.

This was super yummy and easy to make! I find that smaller dumplings cook more uniformly and I only used on package of biscuits instead of two. It was more like a soup than a stew.

Hey! I made this recipe. It was so good! My husband and I loved it! It was super easy and quick. That's always a plus. I will be making it again soon. The only thing that I would do differently is maybe add a little heavy cream to make a little creamier. The flavor is great. Thanks!

Heavy cream always makes anything better!
