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!

My grandmother died nearly 6 years ago. I grew up with her chicken and dumplings. I was never able to get the recipe for them, and although this doesn't taste *exactly* the same as hers, it's the closest thing I've found. It's amazing.

This looks just like the one my Mom used to make, but she liked to use canned cresent rolls instead of bisquits. She said it made a more tender dumpling. I'm going to try it just like this first, then next time I'll use the cresent rolls.

Wonderful! I consider myself a good southern cook but I could never master my grandmothers chicken and dumpling but I have now with the help of this recipe. Actually I think its better than I remember my grandmothers tasting. My daughter is a very picky eater and she loved this! Only thing I change was I did not have poultry seasoning so I just used some salt and pepper and only 1 can of biscuits. A new family favorite!!! Thank you for sharing this recipe!

This recipe was great! I made it using a combination of gluten-free rice and tapioca flours. I also added an extra half tsp. of baking soda. This is what chicken and dumplings should be! Thank you for a wonderful new staple in our home!!!

I have been married 27 years and have tried to make chicken and dumplings many times only to fail everytime. Either the dumplings turn out wrong or the broth is too thin or too thick. Since I came across this recipe 3 weeks ago, we have made it 3 times and it comes out perfect everytime. Oh my goodness... it is so good and fail proof.. My daughter now makes it and the family loves it!!! Thank you so so much!!!
