I stirred the biscuit pieces into the liquid very gently and then covered the pot and reduced the heat to medium-low.

I left the chicken and dumplings to simmer for twenty minutes, stirring about every five minutes just to make sure nothing stuck to the bottom of the pot.

Then I sprinkled the dish with some chopped green onions right before serving.
