Servings 6
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast cooked & diced
- 48 ounces chicken broth
- 2 10.5 ounce cans cream of chicken soup
- 2 cans biscuits
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 tablespoons flour
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook chicken and dice into small pieces.
- Pour broth in a large soup pot. Add chicken. Bring to a boil.
- Add soup and stir until completely mixed.
- Cut biscuits into small pieces. They will expand while they cook.
- Drop biscuit pieces, one at a time, in boiling broth. At this point, I usually reduce the heat so my dumplings won't stick.
- Cook about 15 minutes or until dumplings are done.
- Drop 2 Tablespoons of butter on top of dumplings in pot and let melt. Stir gently.
- Make a slurry of flour and water. Mix well until no lumps are visible. Slowly pour in pot and gently stir. This will thicken the broth. Cook 10 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.
