Chicken and Dumplings Recipe

With rotisserie chicken, canned broth and drop dumplings, this Chicken and Dumplings Recipe becomes an effortless one-dish meal!
Prep Time5 minutes mins
Cook Time15 minutes mins
Total Time20 minutes mins
Course: Soup
Cuisine: American
Servings: 8 (1-cup) Servings
Author: DIY Thrill

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups baby carrots
  • 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 6 cups fat-free chicken broth divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
  • 2 cups chopped skinless rotisserie chicken breast
  • 2 cups biscuit baking mix
  • 2/3 cup skim milk
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • In large nonstick pot coated with nonstick cooking spray, sauté onion, carrots, and garlic over medium heat until tender.
  • In small cup, stir flour and 1/3 cup chicken broth, mixing until smooth. Gradually add flour mixture and remaining broth to pot; bring to boil. Add thyme and chicken.
  • In bowl, stir together biscuit baking mix and milk. Drop the mixture by spoonfuls into boiling broth.
  • Return to boil, reduce heat, and cook, covered, carefully stirring occasionally, 15-20 minutes or until dumplings are done. Season to taste. If soup is too thick, add more chicken broth.

Terrific Tip:  A short-cut for dumplings: cut flaky biscuits into fourths and drop into boiling broth or you can even use flour tortillas cut into fourths.
You can slice carrots — but I find baby carrots a time-saver.

    That was such a clever tip for creating the dumplings for this dish. Both the dumpling hack and rotisserie chicken are such time savers!
