Chicken and Dumplings

A favorite around here! This is the easy way.

Chicken and Dumplings

2 cans of biscuits
1 can cream of chicken soup
3 bouillon cubes

2 tablespoons butter
3 or 4 boneless chicken breasts


Place chicken in pot and boil for 20 minutes. Sprinkle your work surface with flour. Prepare dumplings, by rolling out the cans of biscuits in flour. Make dumplings as Make them as flat at you can and check that they have a light coating of flour. Set them aside.

When chicken is has completely boiled, remove from pot and set aside to cool. Do not throw out the water! Skim foam off the surface of the water; add more water or remove water to ensure that the pot is about 3/4 full. Bring to a boil again and add the can of cream of chicken soup, butter, and boullion cubes. Stir well.

Reduce water to medium/high heat and tear dumplings into small strips. Drop them into water. After you have dropped them all into the water, reduce heat to medium, stir occasionally - not much. Start tearing chicken into pieces and drop into pot.
Cook until the dumplings are soft or approximately 30 minutes or so.
