Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 2 cans (10.5 oz each) cream of chicken soup
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) chicken broth
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (frozen or canned)
  • 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated Grands biscuits
  • 1/4 cup milk or water

Method
 

Instructions
  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, cooked chicken, mixed vegetables, poultry seasoning, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
  2. While the soup base heats, separate the Grands biscuits and cut each biscuit into 4-6 small pieces. This will create perfect bite-sized dumplings.
  3. Once the soup mixture is gently simmering, drop the biscuit pieces evenly across the surface. Do not stir – this helps the dumplings cook properly.
  4. Cover the pot and reduce heat to low. Let the chicken and dumplings cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the biscuit dumplings are cooked through and fluffy.
  5. Remove from heat and let sit for 5 minutes before serving. The dumplings will continue to absorb the delicious broth.

Notes

Use rotisserie chicken for convenience. Do not stir the dumplings once added to prevent them from breaking apart. Frozen vegetables work perfectly. For thicker dumplings, add extra biscuits; for thinner consistency, add more broth.
