Easy Chicken and Dumplings with Canned Biscuits
Description
This recipe combines water, cooked chicken, cream of chicken soup, chicken bouillon, and ground black pepper in a pot brought to a boil then simmered. Small pieces of canned refrigerated biscuits are added gradually to the simmering broth, allowing them to cook through and expand, absorbing the flavors. The biscuits act as quick dumplings with a soft texture once cooked.
The broth can be simmered longer before adding biscuits to deepen the flavor. Vegetables such as peas and carrots may be added for extra bulk, though not required. While adding biscuits, stirring helps prevent them from sticking together and ensures even cooking.
Ingredients
- 4 cups water
- 3 cups chicken cooked
- 2 cans cream of chicken soup
- 2 teaspoons chicken bouillon
- 1 teaspoon black pepper ground
- 1 can Biscuits refrigerated
Instructions
- Place water, cooked chicken, cream of chicken soup, pepper, and bouillon in a large deep pot or Dutch oven.
- Bring to a boil and turn it down to a simmer.
- Begin adding small bite-size pieces of the refrigerated biscuits.
- Allow biscuits to boil for several minutes until cooked through.
Notes
- Simmer the broth longer before adding biscuits to enhance flavor.
- Optional additions like peas and carrots can add volume and nutrition.
- Tear biscuits into small pieces, as they will expand when cooked.
- Mix biscuits into the simmering broth to prevent clumping and ensure even cooking.
