When in need of comfort food....make chicken and dumplings! Here is a recipe for creamy chicken and dumplings that is very easy to make! I didn't use carrots, but added corn instead. The dumplings are made using refrigerated biscuits. How easy is that? This would also be a great recipe for when you have leftover chicken. All the tummies in my house are happy now. Time for some relaxing!Easy Chicken and Dumplings
Ingredients
1 tablespoon all purpose flour
12 ounces skinless, boneless chicken breast halves or thighs, cut into one inch pieces
2 tablespoons margarine or butter
1 stalk of celery, sliced
1 medium carrot, chopped
1 onion, cut into wedges
1 1/4 cups chicken broth
1 10 3/4 ounce can condensed cream of chicken with herbs soup
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 4.5-ounce package (6) refrigerated buttermilk biscuits*
1 cup frozen peas
Method
Place flour in a plastic bag. Add chicken pieces and shake until coated. In large saucepan cook chicken, celery and onion in hot margarine for 2-3 minutes or until chicken is brown. Stir in broth, condensed soup and pepper. Bring to boiling, reduce heat. Simmer covered about 20 minutes or until chicken and vegetables are tender. Meanwhile separate biscuits. Cut each biscuit into quarters. Stir peas into chicken mixture: return to boiling. Place biscuit pieces on top of chicken mixture. Simmer, covered over medium-low heat 10-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center of biscuit comes out clean. Serve in bowls.
Notes: As an option, substitute drop biscuits for refrigerated biscuits. To prepare, in a medium bowl combine 1 cup packaged biscuit mix and 1/3 cup milk. Drop mixture by teaspoonfuls into 8 dumplings on top of chicken mixture. Cook, covered, as directed.

I haven't had chicken and dumplings forever, what a great comfort dish. Yummy
My grandmother used to make them when I was a girl and bring them just for me, I am glad you posted this, I have never made them, and have wanted to revisit my old comfort food!

I can practically smell this right now...
Love the new blog layout! I wish that Wordpress had more options :o(
Mmm...chicken and dumplings! I like the addition of the corn and the fact that the dumplings are refrigerated biscuits - I loooove those! Yummy recipe!
I would love some of this right now, looks great for cold weather and it's cold here!
this really caught my attention! would love this for lunch...
I love comfort food on a cold night and this will fill the bill.
that's definitely a good meal for the end of the week. for some reason, i just couldn't stop eating last night. even though i don't eat meat, if that was in the house, i probably would've gone for it!
Mmmm, dumplings. You know, I have a tube of biscuits sitting in my fridge, I think I'm going to have to make this.
Store bought biscuits make life easy! I dig the new format! Looks good!
Classic comfort! perfect meal for the season. Delicious indeed.
Cheers,

Hmm, I can't stand peas so I'll just use all corn please but I bet the carrots would be good too. Looks real creamy, nice work!
Wow, this looks good!
That looks creamy, delicious, and satisfying! I've never had chicken & dumplings, but I might just have to try it!
It looks great! Love your recipe, so simple and easy but with great results.
I always make chicken and biscuits but the hubby loves dumplings so maybe I will give these a try because yours look yummy.
Love the new look! Very bright and cheerful!
Love the new look Megan! Love the quick and easy recipe for the dumplings too!
Yum, looks great! Love stick-to-your-ribs food like this.
Also, the new look for the blog looks great! I love it!

for me, chicken and dumplins is right up there with lasagna and mashed potatoes as far as comfort foods go. your version looks spectacular. :)
Yumm...looks good and easy to prepare.
That time of year for comfort foods. Beef stew, meatloaf, and it looks like now I'm going to give this one a try for ease alone (The pictures don't hurt either!!).
Can't wait to sample it out!
This looks so good and comforting. I would love to have a bowl of this right now.
Oh yum. One of my favorite comfort foods. I love the refrigerator biscuit short-cut. I've never tried it that way, but probably will soon while the temperatures are dropping.
I love how easy and straightforward your recipes are! They are never intimidating - which is a really great way to be :D
Love the new background!
