Easy and Delicious Chicken and Dumplings! Vegetarian Version Included!



I made this tonight and it was so good, easy, and I also made a vegetarian version for myself at the same time, and it was just as good!! 

For the Traditional version you'll need:
  • 1c. Cooked Chicken (I like to use rotisserie chicken meat)
  • Lg carton of Chicken Stock
  • 2-3 Raw canned biscuits ripped into small pieces
  • 1 can Cream of chicken soup
  • 2 TBSP Butter
  • 1/2 stalk chopped Celery
  • 1/4c Flour
  • 1/4c Half&Half
  • 1 tsp Onion Powder
  • 2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • Salt&Pepper to taste


For the Vegetarian Version:
  • 1-2 Vegetarian Chicken pattys, cooked
  • 2-3c. No-chicken Broth
  • 2-3 Raw Canned biscuits ripped into small pieces
  • 1 can Cream of Celery Soup
  • 2 TBSP Butter
  • 1/2 stalk chopped Celery
  • 1/8c Flour
  • 1/8c Half&Half
  • 1 tsp Onion Powder
  • 2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • Salt&Pepper to taste 

Simple Directions for both:
  1. Boil Broth and butter
  2. Add chopped Celery
  3. Gently add small pieces of raw biscuit dough
  4. Stir in condensed soup
  5. Let mixture boil for a few minutes until dumplings are swollen
  6. Add cooked chicken (only in traditional version), and flour
  7. After flour has dissolved and made broth a little thicker
  8. Add half and half and seasonings

Super simple, and really good. It will be a hearty meal regular in our house from now on! Thanks for reading!!
