Directions
-
Place chicken breasts in a large pot and cover with water; bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until cooked through.
-
Remove chicken from the pot and set aside to cool slightly; reserve the cooking liquid as broth.
-
Shred or chop the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces.
-
In a separate bowl, combine the biscuit mix with 1 1/2 cups of water to form a thick dough.
-
Bring the reserved chicken broth back to a boil in the pot.
-
Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough into the boiling broth.
-
Do not stir immediately; allow the dumplings to cook undisturbed for the first few minutes.
-
Once the broth returns to a boil, gently stir the dumplings to prevent sticking.
-
Reduce heat to low and let the dumplings simmer gently for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
-
Add the shredded chicken back into the pot with the dumplings.
-
Gently stir to combine and simmer for an additional 5 minutes to heat the chicken through.
-
Remove from heat and serve immediately while hot.
