MOM'S CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS 
What you'll need:

1 Rotisserie Chicken (in the deli under the heat lamps)
2 cans Pillsbury Buttermilk biscuits (no substitute)
1 can Cream of Chicken Soup
1 (32 oz.) box chicken stock (in the soup aisle)
1 1/2 cups of milk
1/2 tsp. poultry seasoning
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1/2 stick butter

For Thickener:

1/4 cup flour
3/4 cup milk

Remove all chicken from the bones and dice. I have tried using boneless skinless chicken but the rotisserie chicken is much more tender and already cooked (this knocks out so much preparation time). Set chicken aside.

Cut biscuits into 1/2" nuggets... the best way is to roll each biscuit between your hands forming a long tube; then cut the tube into 1/2" nuggets. Set cut up biscuits out on a cookie sheet keeping them separated.

In a large pot, combine chicken stock, cream of chicken soup and milk, whisking together until soup is dissolved. Add poultry seasoning and black pepper. Bring to a full boil and then add real butter; reducing the heat to medium so that the liquid continues to simmer but not boil.

When the butter has melted, start dropping the biscuits into the boiling liquid. Stir occasionally reducing heat to medium or low. Once all of the biscuits have been added to the liquid, let them boil lightly as you prepare a thickener. To make a thickener, combine 1/4 cup of flour, 3/4 cup of milk; thoroughly stir together.

Slowly add the thickener to the liquid and biscuits stirring constantly. This will slightly thicken the liquid.

Once the liquid begins to thicken, add the diced chicken. Let this mixture cook, covered, for approximately 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. When biscuits are no longer doughy but firm, it is ready to be served.

Makes 6 servings.

This goes great with some sourdough bread and and butter!

This is my go to. Hard to find the original buttermilk, everything is flaky layers and only 5 to a can. I just split them, dunk in flour, flatten and cut into 4 pieces with a pizza cutter. Works great in case others are struggling to find the OG Pillsbury biscuits.

I have made this about 6 times now. It's a huge hit to the wife and family. I am asked at least once a month to make it. Always make a double batch..sometime quadruple
Delicious every time.

My family is very picky and they only like their Nannies chicken & dumplings, but this was a hit! I loved it and will definitely make again soon. Will add some veggies next time for color & crunch.

I've recently added a bag of shredded carrots to the recipe for color and a little extra crunch. So good!

I have made this recipe three times now. The last time I doubled it so my husband could take it to work and share with the guys the next day. I had to substitute a can of cream of mushroom for a can of cream of chicken. It made no difference. It still came out EXCELLENT!!!!

I had made chicken and dumplings many times, only to not have it come out right. I made this recipe for my grandparents, and they both loved it! My grandma didn't like chicken and dumplings, but she loved this one. Thank You, Sean, for making such a wonderful recipe and sharing it!

I've been making this recipe since I first got married 6 years. It's the only one I make. It really does taste just like my mom's recipe growing up, but it's much easier to make! Thanks for the great post!

Came out very good. Made my own chicken though and used the both from there instead because the store was out of chicken stock. I was a little concerned the biscuits would fall apart and turn to mush but they didn't. Thanks for sharing! I'll definitely be making this again.

One quick way to mess this up is to be on the phone, one hand helping your daughter with a craft, and the other dropping a whole stick of butter in the pot! :-) Its always the simple recipes that get me! Will give this another shot with full attention! Smelled good before the butter!!

Made this tonight for dinner. It was great. I used my left over rotisserie chicken, I added a can of chicken bc it didn't look like there was enough chicken. I also used store brand home style biscuits, that's what I had in the fridge. I loved the simplicity of the ingredients, the recipe was easy to follow. It is definitely a keeper.
