Progresso Chicken And Dumplings Recipe - Comfort Food Meals

Before we dive into the delightful whirlpool of flavors that is Progresso Chicken and Dumplings, let’s chat about some excellent companions for this dish. Pairing your meal helps enhance the experience. Whether you're hosting friends or enjoying a cozy dinner, a simple salad can work wonders alongside the dumplings.
A classic Caesar salad brings a bit of crunch and zest, balancing the flavors perfectly. If you're looking for something with more freshness, a garden salad with a citrus vinaigrette also complements the richness of the dumplings. Want to bring warmth to the table? Serve your chicken and dumplings with some roasted vegetables. They not only look colorful on the plate but also provide a nutritious punch.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 can of refrigerated Pillsbury™ Grands!™ Southern Homestyle Buttermilk Biscuits 16 oz. 8 count
  • 1 egg, lightly whisked
  • 3 cans of Progresso™ Traditional Chicken Noodle Soup 19 oz. each
  • 1 3/4 cups of Progresso™ Chicken Stock
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish optional

Method
 

Step 1: Prepare the Base
  1. In a large pot, combine the three cans of Progresso Traditional Chicken Noodle Soup and the chicken stock. Stir this mixture over medium heat until it’s hot and bubbling. The aroma will be heavenly, trust me! While this is heating, don’t forget to season to taste. Add in the thyme and garlic powder.
Step 2: Add Chicken
  1. Once your soup is bubbling away, it’s time to add a cooked chicken of your choice. You can use leftover roasted chicken or a rotisserie chicken from the store, which streamlines the process immensely. Shred or chop it into bite-sized pieces, and toss it in. Let everything simmer together, allowing the flavors to meld.
Step 3: Prepare the Dumplings
  1. While the soup simmers, it’s time to handle the biscuits. Pop open the can and separate the biscuits. Cut each biscuit into quarters. This ensures they cook evenly and soak up all that delicious broth. You can also use kitchen scissors to make this task easier.
Step 4: Add Dumplings
  1. Gently drop the biscuit pieces into the bubbling soup. Make sure to spread them out evenly for proper cooking. Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Allow the dumplings to cook for about 10-12 minutes—voila! You’ll see them puff up, and the kitchen will be filled with mouthwatering scents.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
  1. After the dumplings are light and fluffy, it’s time to serve. Ladle the soup into bowls, and feel free to sprinkle some fresh herbs on top for a pop of color. I personally love to add a dash of black pepper, just for an extra kick!

Notes

  • Make it Your Own: Don’t hesitate to add vegetables like carrots, peas, or corn. They enhance the dish's nutritional profile and add color.
  • Watch the Dumplings: Ensure you don't lift the lid while cooking the dumplings; this keeps the steam trapped and helps them rise perfectly.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh herbs can elevate this dish significantly. I recommend parsley or thyme for that aromatic charm.
  • Add Creaminess: For a creamier texture, consider stirring in a splash of milk or cream just before serving. It adds richness that’s hard to resist!
  • Serve Hot: This dish is best enjoyed hot. Leftovers can lose some of their charm, so aim to finish it in one sitting for the best experience.
