Chicken And Dumplings Ingredients
- Two 48-ounce or three 32-ounce cans of chicken broth, or 12 cups of Homemade Chicken Broth
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- Two 16.3-ounce cans of refrigerated Pillsbury Grands! Southern Homestyle Original biscuits or 1/2 recipe dough from Jojo’s Biscuits
- 1 cup half-and-half
- 4 cups shredded meat from 1 store-bought rotisserie chicken or Perfect Roast Chicken
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
How To Make Chicken And Dumplings
- Prepare Broth: In a large soup pot, bring chicken broth to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to simmer.
- Cut Biscuits: Dust a cutting board with flour. Cut each biscuit into 9 pieces and add them to the simmering broth. Make sure to flour the board generously as you go along.
- Add Ingredients: Stir in half-and-half, shredded chicken, salt, and pepper into the simmering broth.
- Cook Dumplings: Cover the pot and simmer gently for about 20 minutes until the dumplings are cooked and the chicken is heated through.
- Serve and Store: Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot.
Recipe Tips
- Adding Veggies: For extra nutrition and flavor, you can add a bag of frozen mixed vegetables to the chicken broth before putting in the biscuit pieces.
- Using Fresh Biscuit Dough: If you’re using homemade biscuit dough, make a quick slurry by mixing flour and half-and-half. Slowly whisk this into the simmering broth. Add the chicken, salt, and pepper, and let it simmer. Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough into the soup and let it cook covered for 25 minutes.
How To Thicken Chicken And Dumplings
To thicken this specific Chicken and Dumplings recipe, you have a couple of options:
- Flour Slurry: Take about 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and mix it with 1/4 cup of cold water to create a slurry. Slowly whisk this mixture into the simmering broth. Continue to simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes until the soup reaches your desired thickness.
- Reduce Liquid: Another way is to let the soup simmer uncovered for an additional 10-15 minutes. This will reduce the liquid and naturally thicken the soup.
- Additional Biscuits: You can also cut a few more biscuits into the simmering broth. The extra dough will absorb some of the liquid, making the soup thicker.
