Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie or leftover chicken works great)
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream (or whole milk)
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (like Pillsbury)
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp poultry seasoning
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
Optional Add-Ins for Extra Flavor
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder for extra depth
- 1/2 tsp thyme for an herby touch
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper if you like a spicy kick
Instructions
In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add diced onions and minced garlic, then cook until soft and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
Sprinkle flour over the onions and stir for one minute to create a light roux. Slowly add chicken broth, stirring continuously to prevent lumps. Add the cream of chicken soup, heavy cream, salt, pepper, and poultry seasoning. Let it simmer for 5 minutes until thickened.
Stir in the shredded chicken and frozen vegetables, ensuring they’re evenly coated in the creamy sauce. Reduce heat to low and let the mixture simmer for another 5 minutes.
Cut each biscuit dough piece into quarters. Drop the biscuit pieces into the pot, ensuring they are evenly distributed. Cover the pot with a lid and let it cook for 15 minutes. Stir occasionally so they don’t stick together.
Once the biscuits are soft and cooked through, your homemade chicken and dumplings is ready! Serve it hot and enjoy with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or black pepper for extra flavor.
Notes
- Use fresh chicken broth for the best flavor.
- Don’t over-stir after adding the biscuits, or they might break apart.
- Let the dumplings steam with the lid on for the fluffiest texture.
- If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of broth or milk.
