Ingredients Needed

For the chicken and dumplings, you will need:

• 1 boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into small cubes
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1/4 cup diced onion
• 1/4 cup diced carrots
• 1/4 cup diced celery
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1/4 tsp dried thyme
• 1/4 tsp dried sage
• 1/2 cup frozen peas
• 2 store-bought biscuit dough rounds, cut into small pieces

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken cubes and toss to coat evenly.
2. In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
3. In the same pan, add the onion, carrots, and celery. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
4. Stir in the chicken broth, almond milk, thyme, and sage. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the mixture thickens slightly.
5. Add the frozen peas and biscuit dough pieces. Stir gently to combine. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the dumplings are cooked through.
6. Return the chicken to the pan and heat through. Serve hot and enjoy!
