Serves6

Ingredients

4 cups reduced sodium chicken broth
3 cups cooked chicken, shredded
1 (10-ounce) can cream of chicken soup
1/4 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1 (16-ounce) tube refrigerated buttermilk biscuits
1 cup finely chopped carrots
1 cup finely chopped celery
2 tablespoons finely minced fresh parsley to garnish (optional)

Instructions

Place the broth, chicken, soup, and poultry seasoning in a 4-quart Dutch oven and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cover and reduce the heat to low, simmering for 5 minutes.
While the mixture cooks, remove biscuits from the tube and use fingers or a rolling pin to press them into 1/8-inch thickness. Cut into strips 1 inch long x inch wide.
Raise the temperature under the pot to bring contents to a low boil and add carrots and celery, then drop the biscuit strips into the liquid one at a time. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook at a simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring once or twice to prevent dumplings from sticking to each other.
Serve garnished with parsley.
