Ingredients

• 4 boneless chicken breasts .
• 1 tsp salt .
• water .
• 1 tsp pepper .
• 2 (7 1/2 oz) cans Pillsbury put in the fridged biscuits .
• 1 (14 1/2 oz) can chicken broth .
• 1 (10 1/2 oz) can cream of chicken soup .
• 1 stalk celery (sliced)

Directions

• Step #1 Put chicken & celery In a large-ish pot & cover with water.
• Step #2 Bring to a boil.
• Step #3 Cook chicken thoroughly.
• Step #4 Once chicken is done remove chicken from pot & let cool on a plate.
• Step #5 Set aside.
• Step #6 Do not throw away broth--it will be used later.
• Step #7 Add cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, salt & pepper to pot; stir.
• Step #8 Cook on medium-high heat.
• Step #9 Slice chicken breasts like you would a turkey (thinly).
• Step #10 It will come apart once it's added back to the pot.
• Step #11 Add back to pot.
• Step #12 Bring to boil.
• Step #13 With a rolling pin, roll out each biscuit & cut into fourths.
• Step #14 (For smaller dumplings, cut them smaller).
• Step #15 I like mine medium size, so fourths work for me.
• Step #16 Once you’re done, it's time to add them to the pot.
• Step #17 Just drop them in one at a time, make sure to stir often.
• Step #18 They tend to stick if they aren't stirred.
• Step #19 They will swell after they are first added, but they will go back down to normal size after a few mins.
• Step #20 Let them boil for 10 mins, then simmer on medium-low for about 15 mins; cover.
• Step #21 Continue to stir often.
• Step #22 Dumplings are done when the center of the dumpling is slightly darker than the outside.
