Ingredients
  • 6 Chicken Breast Halves -- Boneless-Skinless
  • 2 Cups Biscuit Mix
  • 1 1/2 Cups Water
Directions
  1. 1
    Place chicken breasts in a large pot and cover with water; bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until cooked through.
  2. 2
    Remove chicken from the pot and set aside to cool slightly; reserve the cooking liquid as broth.
  3. 3
    Shred or chop the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces.
  4. 4
    In a separate bowl, combine the biscuit mix with 1 1/2 cups of water to form a thick dough.
  5. 5
    Bring the reserved chicken broth back to a boil in the pot.
  6. 6
    Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough into the boiling broth.
  7. 7
    Do not stir immediately; allow the dumplings to cook undisturbed for the first few minutes.
  8. 8
    Once the broth returns to a boil, gently stir the dumplings to prevent sticking.
  9. 9
    Reduce heat to low and let the dumplings simmer gently for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  10. 10
    Add the shredded chicken back into the pot with the dumplings.
  11. 11
