Description

A cozy, one-pot meal featuring tender chicken and vegetables in a savory broth, topped with pillowy biscuit dumplings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound chicken breast, diced
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, sliced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Brown the diced chicken for 4-5 minutes.
  2. Add onion, carrots, and celery; sauté until onion is translucent, about 4-6 minutes.
  3. Pour in chicken broth and season with thyme, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Bring to a gentle boil.
  4. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 10 minutes.
  5. Mix biscuit dough pieces with milk in a bowl.
  6. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough into the simmering broth. Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes.
  7. Check dumplings for doneness and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

For a creamier base, swap 1 cup of broth for half-and-half. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
