How to Make Quick And Delicious Chicken And Dumplings

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts over medium-high heat. Remove chicken and set aside.
  2. Add 1 tbsp olive oil to the pot. Saute 1 medium onion, chopped, and 2 carrots, chopped, until softened (about 5 minutes).
  3. Stir in 2 cloves garlic, minced, and cook for 1 minute more.
  4. Pour in 4 cups chicken broth and 1 cup milk. Bring to a simmer.
  5. Return chicken to the pot. Season with 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1/2 tsp dried thyme, and 1/4 tsp paprika.
  6. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
  7. Meanwhile, open one 16.3-ounce can of refrigerated biscuits. Separate biscuits and cut each into quarters.
  8. Once the chicken is cooked, gently drop biscuit pieces into the simmering broth.
  9. Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until biscuits are cooked through and fluffy.
  10. Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
