To make these tomato basil chicken and dumplings, I started by cutting some Pillsbury refrigerated biscuits into eight pieces each.

Then I dumped some condensed cream of chicken soup and tomato basil pasta sauce into a large pot over medium-high heat.

I whisked until the soup and pasta sauce were fully combined.

Then I added some heavy cream to the pot.

I whisked well again.

I added some salt, pepper, onion powder and basil pesto to the pot.

I whisked well and then added some shredded chicken to the pot.

You can use a grocery store rotisserie chicken or any other precooked and shredded chicken.

I like to cook chicken breasts in my Instant Pot and shred them for use in other recipes.

I stirred the chicken into the sauce mixture and then brought the liquid to a boil.

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

Then I stirred well.

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

I left the chicken and dumplings to cook, stirring every five minutes, for fifteen minutes.

After fifteen minutes, I removed the lid and stirred well.

Then I removed the pot from the heat and allowed the chicken and dumplings to sit for a few minutes before scooping and serving.

These creamy chicken and dumplings are the perfect comfort food.

 

I sprinkled some shredded Parmesan, Romano and Asiago on top when serving.

The tomato sauce and basil pesto add Italian flavour to this traditional dish.
