Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cans of chicken stock
  • 2 cans of creamy chicken soup condensed
  • 3 cups of shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 2 tubes of refrigerated biscuit dough
  • 1 tablespoon of fresh thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder

Method
 

1. Prepare the Base
    • Pour 3 cans of chicken stock into a large pot and heat over medium-high until it simmers.
    • Mix in 2 cans of creamy chicken soup. Stir well and let everything meld.
2. Shred the Chicken
    • While the soup and stock are mingling, shred the rotisserie chicken with two forks or your hands.
    • Add the shredded chicken to your pot, making sure it gets coated in the creamy broth.
3. Season the Broth
    • Add 1 tablespoon of fresh thyme and 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder.
    • Let this simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to deepen.
4. Prepare the Biscuits
    • Open the tubes of refrigerated biscuit dough.
    • Cut each biscuit into quarters to ensure even cooking.
5. Add Biscuits to the Broth
    • Gently drop the biscuit pieces into the simmering broth.
    • Cover the pot and let them steam for about 15 minutes until fluffy.
6. Check for Doneness
  1. After 15 minutes, check if the biscuits are fully cooked by inserting a toothpick; it should come out clean.
7. Serve
  1. Once done, serve immediately and enjoy the comforting aroma filling your kitchen.

Notes

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh chicken or homemade stock enhances flavor.
  • Balance seasoning: Taste the broth before adding extra salt.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pot: Leave space for the biscuits to rise.
  • Experiment with herbs: Try rosemary or oregano for a twist.
  • Let it rest: Allow the dish to sit for a few minutes after cooking to thicken the broth.
