How to Make Quick Easy Chicken And Dumplings

  1. Cook chicken breasts until fully cooked. Shred or chop into large pieces and set aside.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine chicken broth, poultry seasoning, salt, pepper, diced carrots, and chopped celery. Bring to a boil.
  4. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, or until vegetables are tender. Add shredded chicken and continue to simmer.
  5. While the stew simmers, prepare the dumplings: Open the can of biscuits and on a lightly floured surface, roll each biscuit to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut each biscuit into 4 wedges.
  6. Skim any foam from the surface of the stew.
  7. Stir in the prepared chicken gravy.
  8. Gently drop the dumpling wedges into the simmering stew, a few at a time.
  9. Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the dumplings are cooked through and fluffy.
  10. Ladle into bowls and serve hot.
