Make this creamy, hearty chicken and dumplings with biscuits recipe on the stovetop. It is a quick comfort food dinner idea perfect for weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works well)
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 (10.2 ounce) can refrigerated biscuit dough, cut into quarters
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Melt the butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
  2. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery to the pot. Cook until the vegetables soften, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  3. Stir in the dried thyme and rosemary. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir constantly for 1 minute to cook out the raw flour taste.
  5. Slowly whisk in the chicken broth until the mixture is smooth. Bring the liquid to a simmer, stirring occasionally until it thickens slightly.
  6. Stir in the heavy cream and the shredded chicken. Season with salt and pepper. Let the mixture return to a gentle simmer.
  7. Drop the quartered biscuit dough pieces evenly over the simmering chicken mixture. Do not stir them in.
  8. Cover the pot tightly and reduce the heat to low. Let the dumplings steam for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the biscuits are cooked through and fluffy. Do not lift the lid during this time.
  9. Stir in the frozen peas during the last 2 minutes of cooking.
  10. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve this hearty chicken soup with biscuits immediately for a classic comfort food dinner.

Notes

  • For a Southern creamy chicken and dumplings flavor, use a good quality chicken bouillon base instead of plain broth.
  • If you prefer homemade biscuits for dumplings, prepare your favorite drop biscuit dough and drop spoonfuls onto the simmering stew instead of using canned dough. Adjust cooking time slightly.
  • This recipe works well as a one pot chicken and dumplings meal, minimizing cleanup.
