Melissa's Easy Chicken and Dumplings image

This is a very simple way to make chicken and dumplings. My mother gave me this recipe. It's great on a cold day.

Categories     Chicken

Time 35m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 boneless chicken breasts
2 (7 1/2 ounce) cans Pillsbury refrigerated biscuits
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can chicken broth
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 stalk celery (diced)
water

Steps:

  • Put chicken and celery in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Cook chicken thoroughly.
  • Once chicken is done remove chicken from pot and let cool on a plate. Set aside. Do not throw away broth--it will be used later.
  • Add cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, salt and pepper to pot; stir. Cook on medium-high heat.
  • Slice chicken breasts like you would a turkey (thinly). It will come apart once it's added back to the pot. Add back to pot. Bring to boil.
  • With a rolling pin, roll out each biscuit and cut into fourths. (For smaller dumplings, cut them smaller). I like mine medium size, so fourths work for me. Once you're done, it's time to add them to the pot.
  • Just drop them in one at a time, make sure to stir often. They tend to stick if they aren't stirred. They will swell after they are first added, but they will go back down to normal size after a few minutes. Let them boil for 10 minutes, then simmer on medium-low for about 15 minutes; cover. Continue to stir often. Dumplings are done when the center of the dumpling is slightly darker than the outside.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I also like to add some frozen vegetables to the pot.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my dumplings turned out hard and doughy. I think I might have overcooked them.

I made this recipe in my slow cooker and it turned out great! The chicken was fall-off-the-bone tender and the dumplings were fluffy and moist.

Overall, this was a good recipe. I would definitely make it again, but I would make a few changes to the sauce.

The chicken and dumplings were good, but the sauce was a little too thick for my liking.

This recipe was a little too bland for my taste. I had to add some extra salt and pepper to make it more flavorful.
