 STEP 1: 

To make these cheesy chicken and dumplings, I started by dropping some butter into a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

 

 STEP 2: 

Once the butter was melted I added some diced onions to the pot.

I stirred and cooked the diced onions until they were translucent.

 STEP 3: 

I added some all purpose flour to the pot.

I stirred well and continued cooking for about three minutes.

 STEP 4: 

I added some chicken broth to the pot.

I stirred the broth and flour mixture together until smooth.

 STEP 5: 

I added some half and half and stirred again.

 STEP 6: 

I added some onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper to the pot.

I stirred the seasonings into the broth mixture.

 STEP 7: 

I added some chopped broccoli florets to the pot.

I also added some matchstick carrots and shredded rotisserie chicken to the pot.

I stirred all of the ingredients together well and then brought the liquid to a boil.

 STEP 8: 

While I was waiting for the liquid to come to a boil, I opened a package of Pillsbury refrigerated biscuits.

I cut each biscuit into six pieces.

 

 STEP 9: 

Once the liquid was boiling, I added the biscuit pieces to the pot.

I stirred well.

 STEP 10: 

I placed a lid on the pot and reduced the heat to low.

I left the chicken and dumplings to simmer, stirring occasionally, for fifteen minutes.

 

 STEP 11: 

After fifteen minutes I removed the lid and stirred the chicken and dumplings well.

I turned off the heat and added some shredded cheddar cheese to the pot.

I stirred until the cheese was melted.

Then the cheesy broccoli chicken and dumplings were ready to scoop and serve.

How should I store my chicken and dumplings?

• Allow any leftovers to cool completely and then transfer to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat thoroughly before serving.

What substitutions could I make?

• Half and Half: You could use milk instead of half and half you will just end up with a thinner broth.
• Shredded Carrots: You can omit the carrots if you prefer.
• Shredded Rotisserie Chicken: Any precooked chopped or shredded chicken will work for this recipe.
