Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 1 cup sliced carrots
- 1 cup sliced celery
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 2 teaspoons dried sage leaves
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (optional)
- 3 tablespoons flour (plus more for tossing biscuits)
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 2 bay leaves
- 16.3 oz refrigerated biscuit dough
- Kosher salt
- Fresh cracked pepper
- Fresh chopped parsley
Instructions
1. Melt butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion, celery, and carrot with salt and pepper, cooking about 8 minutes until softened.
2. Cut biscuit dough into 6 pieces each. Toss pieces lightly in flour so they don’t stick together.
3. Reduce heat to medium. Stir in garlic, Italian seasoning, sage, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook 1 minute.
4. Add flour and stir well, cooking for another minute to eliminate raw flour taste.
5. Pour in a splash of broth to deglaze, scraping up any browned bits. Add remaining broth.
6. Stir in shredded chicken, heavy cream, peas, and bay leaves. Mix gently.
7. Bring soup to a gentle simmer. Place biscuit dough pieces on top of soup, floating rather than submerging.
8. Cover pot and reduce heat to low. Simmer 15 minutes, without peeking, until dumplings are cooked through (a toothpick should come out clean).
9. Season generously with salt and pepper. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
Use kitchen shears to cut biscuits quickly and evenly.
Always flour biscuit dough so dumplings don’t clump while cooking.
Don’t lift the lid while dumplings cook, steam ensures fluffy results.
Season as you go for the best balanced flavor throughout.
