A comforting chicken stew with fluffy dumplings that brings warmth and joy to your dinner table.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 stalks celery, chopped
  • 2 medium carrots, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 package refrigerated biscuit dough
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • Salt & black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning

Instructions

  1. Sauté the aromatics: In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the diced onion, chopped celery, and carrots. Sauté until the vegetables are tender and the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and fresh thyme, stirring until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  2. Create the base: Sprinkle the flour over the sautéed vegetables and stir to coat. Cook for another minute to eliminate the raw flour taste. Slowly add the chicken broth, stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
  3. Simmer the stew: Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Lower the heat back down and stir in the shredded chicken, heavy cream, and poultry seasoning. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Let this simmer for about 10 minutes to develop flavors and thicken slightly.
  4. Prepare the dumplings: While the stew simmers, preheat your oven according to the instructions on the biscuit dough package. Roll out or cut the dough into pieces, depending on your preference for dumplings.
  5. Assemble and cook the dumplings: After the stew has simmered, carefully drop the biscuit dough pieces over the chicken stew. Cover the pot with a lid, allowing the dumplings to steam and cook for about 15 minutes. Avoid lifting the lid too often; this ensures the dumplings puff up nicely!
  6. Finish and serve: Once the dumplings are cooked through and fluffy, serve the chicken and dumplings piping hot!

Notes

For added depth, consider using a rotisserie chicken with herbs. You can customize this dish with peas or a mix of vegetables for a vegetarian version.
