Quick and Easy Chicken and Dumplings Recipe

Chicken and Dumplings is the ultimate comfort food. Period. The fluffy dumplings combined with flavorful chicken soup make this meal irresistible! In just minutes from now, you’ll be enjoying an amazingly creamy and delicious dinner that tastes like it’s made from scratch!

The easiest and fastest way to make chicken with dumplings is to use a can of biscuits. It’s true, canned biscuit dough makes excellent dumplings in this classic Southern comfort food dish the whole family will love!

What are Chicken and Dumplings?

Chicken and Dumplings are a staple in the deep South.   Basically, it’s like a thick, creamy chicken stew with pillowy dumplings.  The dumplings are cooked in a broth and seasoned, usually with a lot of pepper.

Can you make chicken and dumplings in an Instant Pot?

Yes, you can! Check out my recipe for making them in America’s favorite pressure cooker.

The first time I ever had any was on a trip to visit my husband’s parents (when we were dating).  Being originally from the North, it was not something that we ate at home.  Little did I know what treat was in store for me.  Since my husband seemed to enjoy them, I know they had to be good.  After trying them, I could see why.

What’s the easiest way to make dumplings?  

Canned biscuits.  You can use either 2 cans of refrigerated biscuit dough or one package of Grands biscuit dough.

My mother-in-law’s technique for making the dumplings was to pinch off the dough into small pieces and it to the pot.  I did that for years and then started to use a pizza cutter to do the trick. However, a large knife does the job even better if the dough is cold.

Cutting biscuits with a knife to make Chicken and Dumplings.

A tip for cooking them:  smaller dumplings cook better.  The dough will expand once it is placed in the warm broth.

Some people may find that the canned biscuits work better if you coat the biscuit dough in a small amount of flour. (Flour will help to keep the biscuits from completely dissolving in the broth. Once you get used to making them, you will learn how to tell that the dumplings are done and won’t need to flour them.)

You can use regular chicken broth or chicken bone broth. Bone broth will impart a richer, darker color to the dumplings.

How to easily make Chicken and Dumplings

There are only a few items that you need to make this super delicious one-pot dish:

  • Chicken – be sure it is already cooked.
  • Chicken broth – you can also use chicken bone broth. Bone broth will impart a richer flavor and darker color.
  • Cream of chicken soup – this helps to make it nice and creamy, naturally.
  • Canned biscuits – use either two cans of regular biscuits or one large of Pillsbury Grands.
  • Pepper – good old black pepper is all you need.

It doesn’t take special equipment to make these quick and easy chicken and dumplings – a nice large pot will do the trick.

  1. Heat chicken broth in a pot on medium-high heat and cook until it starts to gently boil.
  2. Add cream of chicken soup and stir.
  3. Add chicken. You’ll want to use chicken that has already been cooked. (You can cook chicken ahead of time and shred it. You can also purchase a cooked rotisserie chicken and pull the meat off of the bones and use it. If you are really in a pinch, you could purchase pre-cooked chicken chunks in the meat section of your grocery store and use it.)
  4. Cut biscuits into small pieces and place in chicken broth mixture. Stir well.
  5. Put a small layer of pepper over dumplings.
  6. Stir well, reduce the heat, and let the chicken and dumplings simmer for 5-10 minutes.

  • Spicy Basil Chicken Stir-Fry – The dish is full of veggies and can be prepared in one skillet. Serve with some rice and it’s a great Thai dinner for 4-6 hungry folks.
  • Sesame Chicken – Crispy, tender, sesame seed battered chicken nuggets made at home.
  • Chicken Noodle Casserole – Chicken breasts, egg noodles, and veggies are baked in a homemade cream sauce and topped with buttery Ritz Crackers. Yum!
  • Chicken Pot Pie – Creamy chicken filling is surrounded by a buttery crust and it all just melts in your mouth.

Notes

Nutrition information is approximate. Values for 2 cans of Pillsbury™ Buttermilk Refrigerated Biscuits (from a Value Pack), 2 cups of chicken, and 12 ounces of cream of chicken soup were used in the calculation.
Be sure to use cooked chicken when making this recipe.  Leftover rotisserie chicken is a great option.  In a pinch, you can use prepackaged cooked chicken that you find in the meat section next to lunch meat.

Quick and Easy versus Old-Fashioned Chicken and Dumplings

From the recipe above, you can see how easy this recipe is to make. Let’s take a quick look at Old Fashioned method.

First, you need either chicken stock or chicken broth. You can get it either by boiling a whole chicken in a large Dutch oven preferably with some aromatics (herbs and spices) over medium-high heat. The results are tender chicken and homemade broth. This is a good time to turn the burner off momentarily.

Next, you have to transfer chicken, chicken pieces, and other flavoring ingredients from the broth and skim any undesirable floating materials like chicken fat. The chicken meat needs to be taken off the bones. Return the shredded chicken meat to the broth.

Now it’s time to look at making dumpling dough. For this, you need a mixing bowl, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, thyme, whole milk, and butter. Combine flour and the dry ingredients, melt butter, and then add the butter and milk to the dry ingredients. Mix it all well with a wooden spoon or a spatula. You can then either roll out the dumpling dough and cut it into strips or simply scoop it into the flavorful broth. Turn the burner on and adjust to medium heat. Let the dumplings cook for about 15 minutes.

To me, using canned biscuits is the clear winner when it comes to convenience. It’s the perfect recipe for saving time in the kitchen. Truth be told, making everything scratch is a winner when it comes to eating cleaner. Unfortunately, we don’t always have enough time and just need an easy recipe to follow.


FAQ: Are chicken and dumplings supposed to be thick or soupy?

Chicken and dumplings should be thick, somewhat like a stew.


I hope you enjoy this family favorite. It’s a great recipe with simple ingredients that you can pick up at the grocery store. It’s perfect all year round, but especially on a cold night.

      I am not sure what has happened. The biscuits will be soft and doughy when they are cooked. They don’t have the same texture of baked biscuits.

      @Cindy, Cover and simmer until dumplings are cooked through, about 15 minutes. Once you have covered the pan, do not uncover and peek while the dumplings are cooking! In order for the dumplings to be light and fluffy, they must steam, not boil.Most dumpling recipes call for cooking them in a tightly covered pot, because they actually cook in the steam created by the boiling stew or fruit. If left uncovered, this steam evaporates and the tops of dropped dumplings often turn out soggy and undercooked.

    Our Mama made dumplings with canned biscuits, too. She cooked boneless chicken breasts in a big pot of salted water, added cubed raw potatoes (which thickens the broth) and finally the can biscuits as dumplings. Yum! We had potato dumplings, too, if there was no chicken in the house.

      I don’t think it matters much. The main thing is that the soup has time to warm up to the same temperature as the rest of the soup.

    I grew up with chicken and dumplings made by my aunt who was a cook in Oklahoma many moons ago. Made this tonight. Sooooo good. I looked at all comments and incorporated a few. I also added a few frozen peas when the broth was coming to a boil. I added 2 cans of cream of chicken soup (one with mushrooms) and a can of milk. After adding the biscuits, it thickened up nicely. I will definitely make this again. Takes me back to the good old days in my aunt’s kitchen.

    This is exactly like my mother used to make them. Using the cooked chicken broth, she would break the chicken apart into bite sized pieces, and use canned biscuits cut into a forth drop into boiling broth. You need to stir when first dropped in to keep them from clumping together. Cook about 20 minutes and simmer till thickened. This was mine and my dad’s favorite.

      I made this and I did not use the soup. I added a extra can of broth and added a stick of butter to the broth and let melt and come to a boil. Added the chicken and let it boil, then let it simmer for awhile, then brought to boil again and then added the Grand biscuits that I cut into eighths, let it slow boil for 20 mins and it was getting pretty thick, so I added a small amount of water, (didn’t have any more broth,would have used that)then let it simmer again. They turned out very good, will make again

      @Shirley, this is exactly like my mother made them. Don’t think I’d like the soup added, I’m sure it’s used to thicken the broth. The canned biscuits are chewy and if simmered they will thicken the broth just right. The family loves them.

I bought a Rotisserie chicken and shredded it, used 2 boxes of chicken broth, 1 big can of cream of chicken, 1 1/2 cans of biscuits ( only cause it was too much if I used the whole other half). It came out really good! I just didn’t want it to be too thick like last time.

    Can this recipe be used with crescent rolls instead of biscuits? I want to try this so badly today.

      I’ve never tried it with crescent rolls. If you do make it, please come back and tell us about it. Thanks!

        Don’t try it with crescent rolls, they fell apart and it was a mess. They didn’t taste like dumplings either!!!

          Thanks for the tip! I had wondered if crescent rolls would work. Now we all know.

            My mom and I have always made them with crescent rolls. You just have to cut them in larger pieces. 🙂

      I cut flour tortillas into strips and add towards the end. They hold up well and taste just like the old-fashioned southern dumplings of my youth.

    Has anybody tried baking their biscuits before adding them to the dumplings? I have made it this way for years but have some frozen Grands biscuits I thought about making some dumplings with.

    My mother (for quick dumplings) would always thaw some frozen biscuits, cut up and roll in flour, then add to the stew like normal. Has one tried this recipe with the frozen biscuits? I’m thinking about doing it this weekend.

    Best way to make melt in your mouth dumplings is to not stir or disturb them for at least 10 to 15 minuets after you add them to your pot. Just cover with a lid while cooking them. Stirring them makes them tough.

    Made this for dinner tonight, it was Awesome! I read most of the comments and was worried about the dumplings disappearing, so I thought I would pay close attention when cooking them. After I boiled the chicken and shredded, I thought, that is a lit of chicken! I poured the chicken broth in a big pot and didn’t think it was enough. So, I added another carton. I put the chicken in, waited for it to come to a boil, added biscuits, stirred then added cream of chicken soup. I stirred everything trying to be gentle and not “upset” the dumplings, they all went to the bottom of the pot.
    I was waiting for the cornbread to come out of the oven, my times were a little off. When the cornbread was ready to come out, I stirred again but couldn’t find the dumplings. I was able to locate maybe three or four. I had the bright idea to put in another can. I turned up the heat to get the pot back to a boil, then added more biscuits. These cooked up beautifully. I watched them like a hawk the whole time. Everything was done, time to eat. When serving, there was an abundance of dumplings! I guess they didn’t really disappear, they just looked like chicken… Oh well, no worries it turned out fabulous. This was my first time making chicken and dumplings. My husband and mother-in-law loved it! My husband was usually the one to make chicken an dumplings, I guess it is my job now! Thank you for Sharing the recipe.

          I would say 3-4. It all depends on how big the breasts are.

            Ok. Thanks so much! I think I’m going to make this for our dinner tonight. My hubby loves chicken and dumplings and this recipe is a bit easier than making everything from scratch so I’m excited to try it!

            How many would this feed? Can I double this I have 6 adults.

          • Lynda says

            September 18, 2018 at 5:46 pm

            It might feed 6. Serve it with some sides and it will go further.
            I haven’t tried doubling it, so I cannot honestly tell you.
