hearty chicken and dumplings

How To Make hearty chicken and dumplings

• Step 1
  make your favorite biscuit dough
• Step 2
  divide the dough in half (half for the dumplings, half to bake as biscuits!)
• Step 3
  on a floured area, roll the biscuit dough to a half inch thickness
• Step 4
  cut the biscuit dough into bite size pieces (remember to reserve some dough aside if you want to bake biscuits to go with your soup!)
• Step 5
  In a large pot, melt the butter on medium heat
• Step 6
  add the chicken breast
• Step 7
  turn frequently - don't let it get too brown, but a little is okay
• Step 8
  when it is white all over (a little pink showing is okay) remove it from the pot and dice it to bite size pieces
• Step 9
  return the chicken to the pot
• Step 10
  add 2 cups of water and bring it to a boil
• Step 11
  once it boils, add the bouillon cubes
• Step 12
  add the milk and continue to heat
• Step 13
  once it starts to bubble, drop the biscuit pieces into the liquid, stirring to keep them from sticking together
• Step 14
  once all the dumplings are in the liquid, add the instant potatoes
• Step 15
  Add the flour from the biscuit rolling area to your soup for added thickness!
• Step 16
  cook 5 more minutes then move off the heat
