Make this ultimate comfort food quickly. This recipe uses refrigerated biscuit dough for simple, fluffy dumplings atop tender chicken in a creamy broth. It is perfect for a hearty weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried sage
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup whole milk or half-and-half
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie works well)
  • 1/2 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. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Cook until the vegetables soften, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  2. Stir in the dried thyme and sage. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir constantly for 1 minute to cook out the raw flour taste. This creates the roux base.
  4. Slowly whisk in the chicken broth until the mixture is smooth. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally until the broth thickens slightly.
  5. Stir in the milk or half-and-half and the shredded chicken. Season generously with salt and pepper. Let the mixture return to a gentle simmer.
  6. Drop the quartered biscuit pieces directly onto the simmering stew mixture, spacing them out slightly. Do not stir them in.
  7. Cover the pot tightly, reduce the heat to low, and let the dumplings steam for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the biscuits are puffed and cooked through. Do not lift the lid during this time.
  8. Gently stir in the frozen peas during the last 2 minutes of cooking.
  9. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve immediately for a hearty, satisfying meal.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use leftover cooked chicken or a store-bought rotisserie chicken.
  • If you prefer a thicker stew, let the broth simmer uncovered for an extra 5 minutes before adding the biscuits.
  • This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken for a quick family meal.
