These chicken and dumplings using canned biscuits are an easy alternative to making chicken and dumplings from scratch.

To make these chicken and dumplings, I started by opening a package of Pillsbury refrigerated biscuits and cutting each one into four pieces.

Then I dumped some butter and diced onions into a large saucepan over medium-high heat.

I cooked the onions until they were translucent.

Then I added some flour to the pot and stirred it well to mix it with the butter and onions.

Then I brought the liquid to a boil.

Once the liquid was boiling I added some canned peas and carrots to the pot, as well as some shredded rotisserie chicken, salt, pepper, onion powder and sage.

If you don’t want to use a grocery store rotisserie chicken you could also cook your own chicken.

I love to cook seasoned chicken breasts in my Instant Pot and shred them.

I stirred the biscuit dough into the the mixture very gently, then reduced the heat to medium-low and covered the pot.

I left the chicken and dumplings to cook for 20 minutes, stirring gently every 5 minutes so that nothing would stick to the bottom of the pot.

I'm making chicken and dumplings as an extra dish to go along with our traditional Christmas dinner. I like onions carrots and celery in mine, no peas. Because several family members don't want any veggies in theirs I cooked my chicken in broth with onion celery and carrots, but strained the broth to get the vegetables out. I really hated doing that but to please my family I did. Actually I believe that's the traditional southern chicken and dumplings.

Made this tonight. Only had 2 cups of cream and that was ok because 4 is a lot! Added 4 cups of milk. I also added in celery and carrots with the onions to sauté. Overall, super delicious and a hit with every member of the family including a husband who won’t eat things like chicken and noodles or chicken a la king and a son who won’t eat anything that resembles soup.
