Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, sliced
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 (10.2 ounce) can refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits), cut into quarters

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Cook until the vegetables soften, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  2. Add the cut chicken pieces to the pot. Season with thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Cook until the chicken is lightly browned on the outside, about 5 minutes.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk the flour into the heavy cream until smooth. Pour this mixture into the pot, stirring constantly to coat the chicken and vegetables.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 10 minutes, allowing the broth to thicken slightly.
  5. Stir in the frozen peas. Taste the broth and adjust salt and pepper if needed.
  6. Arrange the quartered biscuit pieces evenly over the top of the simmering chicken mixture. Do not stir them in.
  7. Cover the pot tightly and let it cook without lifting the lid for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the biscuits are puffed and cooked through. The steam cooks the dumplings.
  8. Carefully remove the lid. Serve the **chicken and dumplings with biscuits** immediately in bowls.

Notes

  • For richer flavor, use rotisserie chicken instead of raw chicken; add it in step 4 along with the broth.
  • If you prefer a thicker stew, increase the flour to 1/3 cup.
  • You can substitute canned biscuits with homemade drop biscuit dough if you prefer.
