Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 2 carrots sliced
  • 2 celery stalks sliced
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup
  • 3 cups cooked chicken shredded
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
  • 1 can refrigerated biscuits cut into quarters

Instructions
 

  • 1. Heat a large Dutch oven or deep skillet over medium heat and melt the butter.
  • 2. Add the onion, carrots, and celery. Cook until softened and fragrant.
  • 3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute.
  • 4. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir continuously until fully combined.
  • 5. Slowly pour in the chicken broth while stirring to avoid lumps.
  • 6. Add the milk, heavy cream, and cream of chicken soup. Stir until smooth.
  • 7. Season the broth with salt, black pepper, and dried thyme.
  • 8. Add the shredded chicken and frozen peas. Simmer gently for several minutes.
  • 9. Cut each refrigerated biscuit into quarters.
  • 10. Place the biscuit pieces evenly over the simmering chicken mixture.
  • 11. Cover the pot tightly with a lid and cook on low heat until the biscuit dumplings are fluffy and fully cooked.
  • 12. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving hot.

Notes

Use rotisserie chicken for faster preparation and deeper flavor.
Keep the pot covered while the dumplings cook so the steam fully cooks the biscuit dough.
If the broth becomes too thick after cooking, stir in a little extra chicken broth or milk before serving.
