Steph2003's Chicken & Dumplings
Submitted by: STEPH2003
I LOVE chicken & dumplings so when I found this I added my own spin to it and lowered the fat and calories. This is the best chicken and dumplings I've ever had which is amazing since I'm never satisfied with my cooking! You can have a full cup of this hearty comfort food for only 280 calories and 3.8 grams of fat! The sodium could be reduced if homemade biscuits are used instead of the canned biscuits, but if sodium isn't a problem this is a very fast and easy way to make chicken & dumplings!

365 Minutes to Prepare and Cook
Ingredients
-
1 4-pack Pillsbury Country Biscuits (red or blue pack)
3 cans Swanson Natural Goodness Chicken Broth
3 cans water
1 can Healthy Request Cream of Chicken 98% Fat Free (this is also low sodium)
1/2 cup skim milk
4 Chicken Breast halves (frozen)
Black pepper to taste
Directions
Makes about 10, 1 cup servings.
The 360 minutes of cooking time comes from using a crock pot to cook the chicken. (you don't have to do it this way)
In large pot (I use an 8qt.) Boil the chicken breasts in the chicken broth and water.
Remove the chicken when done and shred with 2 forks, add back to broth. Add cream of chicken soup and milk, then bring back to boil.
Cut the biscuits into smaller pieces(I use a pizza cutter) 4 or 6 per biscuit and stir gradually into boiling broth. Once all the biscuits are in the broth reduce heat and simmer about 25 minutes, stirring often.
Add black pepper as desired.
*Note to save some time before dinner you can also put the water, chicken and the chicken broth into the crockpot on low for 6 hours or so, then shred the chicken and put it and the remaining broth/water into a large pot. You may need too add more broth or water if it cooks out while in the crock pot.

Actually the Natural Goodness is Swanson's low sodium variety. If you know of a brand that has lower sodium go for it! The less sodium the better!
