Make this creamy, hearty Chicken and Dumplings using refrigerated biscuit dough for a quick, comforting, one-pot dinner perfect for any weeknight.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup chopped yellow onion
  • 1 cup chopped carrots
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works well)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 (10.2 ounce) can refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits), cut into quarters

Instructions

  1. Melt the butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, and celery. Cook until the vegetables soften, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  2. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. This creates the base for your creamy stew.
  3. Slowly whisk in the chicken broth until the mixture is smooth. Add the thyme, pepper, and salt. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally until the stew thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in the shredded chicken and the heavy cream. Reduce the heat to low to keep the stew warm but not boiling.
  5. Drop the quartered biscuit pieces directly onto the surface of the simmering stew. Do not stir them in. Cover the pot tightly.
  6. Cook on low for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the biscuits are puffed and cooked through. Check one biscuit to confirm it is done before serving.
  7. Serve immediately in bowls, making sure each serving gets plenty of creamy stew and fluffy biscuit dumplings.

Notes

  • For richer flavor, use leftover roasted chicken instead of plain cooked chicken.
  • If you prefer thinner dumplings, cut the biscuit dough into smaller pieces.
  • You can substitute frozen mixed vegetables for the fresh carrots and celery if you need an even quicker meal.
