Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken breast
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 (10.2 ounce) can refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits), cut into quarters
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, and celery. Cook until the vegetables soften, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  2. Stir in the 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. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth until the mixture is smooth. Bring the stew to a simmer, stirring occasionally until it thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.
  5. Stir in the heavy cream, shredded chicken, and frozen peas. Season generously with salt and pepper. Return the stew to a gentle simmer.
  6. Arrange the quartered biscuit pieces evenly over the surface of the simmering stew. Do not stir them in.
  7. Cover the pot tightly, reduce the heat to low, and let the dumplings steam for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the biscuits are puffed and cooked through. Check one biscuit to confirm it is done in the center.
  8. Serve immediately, spooning the creamy chicken stew and fluffy biscuit dumplings into bowls.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use rotisserie chicken for your shredded chicken component.
  • If you prefer a thicker stew, let it simmer uncovered for a few extra minutes before adding the biscuits.
  • This recipe is a wonderful weeknight chicken dinner solution that tastes homemade.
