This Irresistible Chicken And Dumplings With Biscuits is the ultimate comfort food made easy. Tender shredded chicken simmers in a creamy herb-infused broth with carrots and celery, then gets topped with fluffy biscuit dumplings that cook right in the pot. It’s hearty, cozy, and perfect for busy weeknights or chilly evenings when you want something warm and satisfying.
Ingredients
2 tablespoons butter
1 small yellow onion diced
2 cloves garlic minced
3 medium carrots sliced
2 celery stalks sliced
1/4 cup all purpose flour
4 cups chicken broth
1 cup whole milk
3 cups cooked shredded chicken
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 can refrigerated biscuits cut into quarters
1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped optional
Instructions
1. Melt the butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add diced onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes until softened. Stir in minced garlic and cook 30 seconds more.
2. Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir well to coat. Cook for 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste.
3. Slowly whisk in chicken broth and milk until smooth. Add thyme, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer.
4. Stir in shredded cooked chicken and let simmer for 5 minutes to blend flavors.
5. Cut biscuits into quarters and place them gently on top of the simmering mixture. Cover and reduce heat to low. Cook undisturbed for 15 minutes until biscuits are puffed and cooked through.
6. Gently stir to distribute dumplings. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve warm.
Notes
Use rotisserie chicken to save time and add extra flavor.
Do not lift the lid while the biscuits are cooking or they may not rise properly.
For a thicker broth, simmer uncovered for a few extra minutes before adding biscuits.
