Simple Chicken Stew and Dumplings

Classic chicken stew paired with fluffy biscuits makes this meal a winner, winner, chicken dinner!

My Nonna always has this chicken stew ready when we fly in to visit. It’s the first of many delicious meal we eat when we visit her and family! I decided to add biscuit dough because I love the taste of dumplings in my stews, and guess what?! It turned out great! I hope you enjoy. :-)

Gather your chicken, onion, butter, chicken broth, chicken gravy, flour, salt and pepper.

Cube the chicken and toss into the flour to coat. dice the onions.

Add the onions to the pot and cook until they are translucent and soft. Season again with some salt and pepper.

10-15 minutes before the timer goes off for the pot, chop the carrots, celery, and potatoes. Try and make them even size pieces.

If you are using frozen veggies, then you can skip this step.

(skip if using refrigerated BISCUIT dough) While the stew is cooking, Get the BISCUITS dough ready. I used Bisquick’s recipe for BISCUITS which is 2 1/4 Bisquick and 2/3 cup milk. Store in the fridge until ready.
