Ingredients
Soup and Chicken Base
- 2 (10.5 ounce) cans condensed cream of chicken soup
- 3 (14 ounce) cans chicken broth
- 3 cups shredded cooked chicken meat (mix of breast and thigh recommended)
Dumplings
- 2 (10 ounce) cans refrigerated biscuit dough
Instructions
- Gather Ingredients: Collect all the required ingredients including soups, broth, shredded chicken, and biscuit dough.
- Combine Soup, Broth, and Chicken: In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, stir together the condensed cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, and shredded cooked chicken until the mixture begins to simmer.
- Prepare Dumplings: Cut each biscuit from the refrigerated dough into quarters to create small dumpling pieces.
- Simmer Dumplings: Gently stir the biscuit pieces into the simmering soup and chicken mixture. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover the saucepan, and let it simmer for 10 to 15 minutes or until the dumplings are cooked through and no longer doughy in the center.
- Serve: Once dumplings are fully cooked, serve hot. Optionally, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for color and freshness.
Notes
- Use a mix of shredded chicken breast and thigh meat for a richer, more flavorful dish.
- Add dried herbs or sprinkle garlic or onion powder onto the biscuit dough before cooking to enhance dumpling flavor.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
