Make this ultimate cozy comfort food quickly. This one-pot recipe uses simple ingredients to create creamy chicken stew topped with fluffy biscuit dumplings, perfect for a busy weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie works well)
  • 1 package (8 count) refrigerated biscuit dough, cut into quarters
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Melt the butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Cook until the vegetables soften, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  2. Stir in the dried thyme and rosemary. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir constantly for 1 minute to cook out the raw flour taste.
  4. Slowly whisk in the chicken broth until the mixture is smooth. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally until it thickens slightly.
  5. Stir in the heavy cream and the shredded chicken. Season generously with salt and pepper. Let the mixture return to a gentle simmer.
  6. Drop the quartered biscuit dough pieces evenly over the simmering chicken mixture. Do not stir them in; just place them on top.
  7. Cover the pot tightly, reduce the heat to low, and cook for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the biscuits are puffed up and cooked through. Check one biscuit to confirm it is done.
  8. Serve immediately. This is a hearty winter meal that tastes homemade with love.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use leftover roasted chicken or rotisserie chicken.
  • If you prefer a thicker stew, increase the flour to 1/3 cup.
  • You can use frozen mixed vegetables instead of fresh carrots and celery to save prep time.
