Chicken and DumplingsThis is one of my favorite recipes, taken from an episode of
Semi-Homemade with Sandra Lee. Hope you enjoy!!!
- 1 whole store-bought roast chicken (about 2 pounds)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/2 to 1 onion, chopped
- 6 cans (14 ounces) chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
- 1 to 1 1/2 cups chopped carrots
- 1/2 cup chopped celery
- 1 can of biscuits (pillsbury, or store bought kind...)
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) condensed chicken gravy
Directions
Remove skin from chicken and shred meat into large pieces. Set aside.
In a small frying pan, add vegetable oil and heat over medium heat. When oil is hot, add chopped onions and saute until soft.
In a large pot or Dutch oven, add broth, poultry seasoning, salt, pepper, carrots, celery, and sauteed onions. Bring to a boil. Reduce to simmer for about 10 minutes to soften vegetables, and then add shredded chicken. Continue to simmer while making dumplings.
While stew is simmering, prepare dumplings. Open can and remove biscuits. On a lightly floured surface, roll each biscuit to 1/4-inch thick. With a knife, cut each biscuit into 4 pie-pieces. Set aside.
Skim surface for any scum that has risen to top. Stir in chicken gravy.
With the stew still simmering over low heat, stir in dumplings a few at a time. Once all dumplings are in to pot, cover with a tight fitting lid and cook for 10 minutes.
Ladle into bowls and serve piping hot.
I love this because you can kinda change the flavor of the recipe by buying a different flavor rotisserie chicken from the deli! I have never tried this with a chicken not from the deli, but I am sure it would work just as good! Leftovers are even better than the original!!! Enjoy!
