Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Boil the chicken over medium heat about 15-20 until it's fork tender. I like to salt salt and poultry seasoning to the water but it's optional. (You can use a whole chicken or breasts or thighs. I prefer thighs.)

* Step 2

Reserve the water you boil the chicken in. You may want to use some if you want to thin down your chicken and dumplings at the end.

* Step 3

Shred the chicken with a fork

* Step 4

Over medium heat, put the shredded cooked chicken in a pot and pour the chicken stock over it.

* Step 5

Add the poultry seasoning

* Step 6

Add the frozen peas and carrots. Add celery if you want, my family doesn't like celery.

* Step 7

Bring everything to a simmer

* Step 8

While the mixture is heating up open your biscuits.

* Step 9

Flour a cutting board and use a rolling pin to flatten the biscuit. When you have your desired thickness, cut it into strips. We like very thin, wide strips. They will expand when they cook.

* Step 10

Once your stove top mixture is simmering, slowly add in the biscuits. Stir frequently add you add them. Once you have them all in, it will take 10-20 minutes to cook depending on the size of your dumpling. Frequently stir to keep the dumplings from sticking.
