Chicken and Dumplings Ingredients
1-2 Cans Pillsbury Tender Flake Biscuits
2-3 Cans Swanson Natural Chicken Broth
2-3 Skinless/Boneless Chicken Breasts
Smart Balance Margarine or Real Butter
Sage
Salt and Pepper to taste
Cayenne..optional..I just add cayenne to almost everything…it’s HEALTHY 🙂
Cook your chicken breasts or tenders in about 2 cups of water…I usually chop mine up so they cook faster and more tender….
Cook until done…if they’re chopped/diced only about 35-45 minutes.
Chicken and Dumplins: When The Chicken is Done – THEN What?
When the chicken is done – take it out and set it aside. Add a little salt and pepper to the broth. Add the canned broth and I buy only Swanson Natural and I also use the broth from the chicken I cook. Add butter and a little sage to taste. Just a pinch or so will be enough for this …
Bring the broth to a full rolling boil and break off small pieces of the biscuits about the size of a nickle or quarter or half dollar. I do all 3 sizes 🙂 and drop them into the stewing broth.
I break up my biscuits ahead of time so they all go in about the same time and all get done about the same time.
Cook on low to medium for about 5-10 minutes until biscuits are done.
You want a really rich broth – so if your broth is too watered down – you can add a half can or can of Cream of Chicken soup.
Now chicken and dumplins are just absolutely delicious – just about any old way. Mom would make the old fashioned dumplins on occasion and I’ve done the same with my own family. But all in all – our family much prefers these quick and easy chicken and dumplins. One of our favorite meals in the winter is Chicken and Dumplin’ Soup!
Good Meals and Good Memories Are Made in The Kitchen
Good meals and good memories are made in the kitchen. The winter season is a time we think more about soups and stews and gathering around the kitchen table on a cold winter’s night for a good hot meal and sharing stories about our day. Let’s take this coming winter to make some of the best meals and some of the best memories of our life time.
Peace and lots of love – from the kitchen of Round Knob Canyon.
