Easy Chicken and Dumplings is full of flavor, and quite comforting. Boneless chicken is simmered in one pot with celery, carrots, and onion with savory seasonings and topped with the best fluffy dumplings.
This is definitely one of those meals that you just want to eat while you snuggle on the couch in front of a fireplace on a cold fall or winter day.
This recipe is made in one pan and makes just the right amount for two people for lunch, dinner, or date night.

Hi Zona, I have rotisserie chicken. When can I add it to this recipe?

I would add the rotisserie chicken in step 3 with the cream of chicken soup.

I made this and it was good. A few things I did different: used 3 cups chicken broth, made my own cream of chicken soup since we don't care for the canned stuff, used frozen peas and carrots and made potato dumplings since I had leftover mashed potatoes that needed to be used up. Really good! Will make again.

Delicious, easy and also works great with turkey. Left overs are equally good, I just make more dumplings. Thanks Zona!

@Zona, I use the leftover rotisserie chicken after one meal. Add 6 cups or more of water and simmer for an hr or more, remove the chicken to cool. Add the carrots, sweet onions and celery..s & p plus thyme and a bay leaf. Simmer the veggies till the chicken has cooled enough to pick the meat. Add the chicken meat back to the pot and make the dumplings, bisquick. Drop into the pot Then 10 mins uncovered and 10 minutes covered. Two meals and a lunch for the cost of a $6 rotisserie chicken.
