64 ounces chicken broth
1 -2 lb baby carrots
4 -6 stalks celery, chopped

Steps:

  • Pick up a Rotisserie Chicken from your local market.
  • Bring Chicken Broth to Biol.
  • Add your veggies and boil till tender.
  • Keep it boiling and drop in bits of biscuit. I just squish the biscuit and tear off little - medium pieces. Just remember they're going to expand -- if you put in big pieces of biscuit you end up with HUGE dumplings
  • When you're done dropping in the biscuits let that all boil together while you remove the meat from the chicken. Get as much as possible -- and chunk it up a little.
  • Reduce heat Drop the meat in and let all cook together for 5-10 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and let stand 5-10 minutes I stir it around and search for chunks of meat I too large to fit on a spoon and cut them down smaller.
  • Voila Chicken and Dumplings that no one will know didn't cook all day.
  • ~ Now if you want a creamier chicken and dumplings you can add a bit of milk/cream and flour mixed together and pour in after the dumplings.

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 cups cooked chicken (diced boneless skinless chicken breasts)
2 stalks celery diced
2 large carrots (cleaned and diced)
1 onion diced
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
3 sprigs thyme (remove leaves and dice)

1/2 teaspoon black pepper
just a pinch of red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 cups of chicken broth
1 package refrigerated bake and serve biscuit dough
1/2 teaspoon tumeric

Steps:

  • If you're using rotisserie chicken, pull meat from the bones, remove skin and dice or shred. You'll want about 1 1/2 cups chicken meat.
  • Using a large pot, heat the olive oil & butter over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the onions, carrots, celery, red pepper flakes & thyme. Sauté' until the vegetables are soft stirring often - about 5-6 minutes.
  • Increase temperature to medium-high heat and sprinkle the flour over the mixture. Continue to cook for another minute.
  • Slowly pour in the chicken stock. As the mixture comes to a boil it will thicken. Add in the shredded chicken. Lower the heat to medium low.
  • Test for seasonings. If needed add salt at this time to taste.
  • Open the can of biscuits - remove three biscuits and slice into strips or a small dice. Keeping in mind they will triple in size when they are cooked. Sprinkle them over the top of the soup in one even layer (very important!), do not stack them on top of each other. Cover & simmer for 15-20 minutes until the biscuits are cooked thru.
  • The rest of the biscuits....you guessed it! Cook according to package directions and serve them with your meal.

⅛ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon dried tarragon
¼ cup butter
2 cups chopped onion
1 ½ cups thinly sliced celery

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your soup. Choose chicken breasts or thighs that are free-range and organic, and use fresh vegetables that are in season.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: When you add the dumplings to the soup, make sure there is enough room for them to cook evenly. If the pot is too crowded, the dumplings will not cook properly and will be doughy.
  • Cook the dumplings until they are cooked through: The dumplings should be cooked until they are no longer doughy in the center. You can check this by inserting a toothpick into the center of a dumpling. If the toothpick comes out clean, the dumpling is cooked.
  • Serve the soup hot: Chicken and dumpling soup is best served hot. If you are making the soup ahead of time, reheat it over low heat until it is warmed through.

Conclusion:

Chicken and dumpling soup is a classic comfort food that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious chicken and dumpling soup that your family and friends will love.
