Method
- In a 5-quart Dutch oven or large heavy-bottomed pot, combine the chicken broth, shredded cooked chicken, condensed cream of chicken soup, poultry seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
- Heat the mixture to boiling over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- While the chicken mixture simmers, lightly flour a clean surface.
- Roll or pat each refrigerated biscuit to about 1/8-inch thickness, then use a pizza cutter or knife to cut each biscuit into 7 strips, about 1/2-inch wide.
- Increase the heat under the Dutch oven to medium-high to return the chicken mixture to a low boil.
- Stir in the chopped carrots and celery.
- Carefully drop the biscuit strips, one at a time, into the boiling chicken mixture.
- Reduce the heat to low and cover the pot.
- Simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent the dumplings from sticking to each other or the bottom of the pot as they rise and expand.
- The dumplings are done when they are fluffy and light inside; you can cut one open to check for any raw dough.
- To serve, ladle the hot chicken and dumplings into bowls.
Notes
Chicken Prep: If you don't have pre-cooked chicken, you can boil or bake 1 lb of boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs until cooked through, then shred. Ensure chicken reaches 165°F internal temperature.
Biscuit Choice: Any brand of large, flaky buttermilk refrigerated biscuits will work well for the dumplings.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. The dumplings will soften as they sit.
