  • 4-5 chicken breasts
  • 1 can refrigerated biscuits
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup milk
  • 4 tbsp butter

  • First, you need to cook your chicken. Bring a large pot of water and a pinch of salt to boil and then cook chicken breasts until done. Usually 10-15 minutes depending on size.
  • Remove chicken and set aside, do not discard your water. This will become the chicken broth for the chicken and dumplings.

  • Put the broth back on the stove adding 1 cup of milk, 4 tablespoons of butter, and additional salt and pepper. Bring broth up to a boil.
  • While broth is boiling, flatten out the canned biscuits on a floured surface using a rolling pin. With a floured knife, cut into 1x1 inch pieces. Add pieces into boiling broth.
  • Punch down lightly with spoon every so often, not stirring, for about 10 minutes.
  • Then, add 1 can cream of chicken soup and the shredded chicken to the broth while stirring.
  • Serve and enjoy! Store leftovers in fridge for up to 4 days.
