Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 10.5 ounce cans condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 3 14 ounce cans chicken broth
  • 3 cups shredded cooked chicken meat
  • 2 10 ounce cans refrigerated biscuit dough

Instructions

  • In a large pot, combine the cream of chicken soup and chicken broth over medium heat. Stir until smooth.
  • Add shredded cooked chicken and bring to a gentle boil.
    The black Dutch oven sits over a white marble countertop filled with a creamy soup base, and freshly shredded cooked chicken is being added into the mixture. The chicken is pale and tender, blending into the warm broth. The wooden spatula rests on the pot’s side while used glass bowls and opened cans sit nearby. The scene captures this heartwarming preparation moment.
  • Tear biscuit dough into small, bite-sized pieces.
    Small, bite-sized pieces of refrigerated biscuit dough are being torn apart by hand on a white cutting board placed over a white marble countertop. The torn dough pieces are pale and fluffy, ready to be added to the soup. An open can of biscuit dough and a small glass bowl with dough remnants are visible. This step prepares the dumplings for cooking.
  • Drop the dough pieces into the simmering broth one at a time.
    The image captures the moment when torn biscuit dough pieces are being dropped one by one into the hot, simmering soup in a black Dutch oven over a white marble surface. The broth contains visible shredded chicken and has started to bubble gently. A glass bowl with extra dough pieces and a wooden spatula complete the scene, emphasizing the interactive part of dumpling preparation.
  • Reduce heat to low, cover the pot, and let dumplings cook for about 15 minutes without lifting the lid.
    A black Dutch oven with a matching lid is shown resting over a white marble cooktop, indicating that the dumplings are gently cooking inside. A wooden timer set to 15 minutes sits nearby to monitor the cooking process. The scene captures the calm, covered simmering period where the dough transforms into light, fluffy dumplings in the rich chicken broth.
  • Gently stir after 15 minutes to check dumpling doneness—they should be fluffy and cooked through.
    In this image, the black Dutch oven sits uncovered over a white marble cooktop with thick, creamy broth gently bubbling as it simmers. Fluffy dumplings and pieces of chicken are visible floating in the rich soup. The mixture is reducing slightly to achieve the perfect consistency. The setting is clean and simple, showing the final simmering stage before serving.
  • Simmer uncovered for another 5 minutes if broth needs thickening.
  • Serve warm and enjoy with a light side like Cauliflower Fried Rice.
