Ok...so I didn't cook this weekend, but after cooking all week, I think I deserve a break. And family time lol.
Bring it on Monday...and Chicken and Dumplins
What you need:
1 lb chicken breast
1 large container chicken broth
2 T chicken boullion
1/4 t cayenne pepper
1 t onion powder
1 can honey butter flakey layer biscuits (8 biscuits)
1 can butter tastin' flakey layer biscuits (8 biscuits)
What to do:
1. Boil your chicken until fully cooked. Remove from pot and rinse. Set it to the side.
2. Pour in your broth, bouillon, pepper, onion powder (and sometimes I add a little butter or milk
depending on the flavor I want that night).
3. Open your biscuits and separate 3 from each pack. Pull them into 3 pieces (into what looks like 3
separate biscuits) and add into the pot with broth mixture.
4. Turn pot on high heat and bring to boil. Stir while boiling for 5 minutes.
5. Turn heat down to medium and pull remaining biscuits into 2 separate pieces.
6. Add to pot.
7. Pull chicken apart into shreds/ bite-sized pieces and add to pot.
8. Let cook for about 10 more minutes, or until dumplins aren't stringy when pulled apart.
Then enjoy :)
Healthy alternatives:
1. Don't add the bouillon to cut out some of the sodium
2. Instead of can biscuits, mix and add some gluten free biscuits (available in the organic section of
any grocery store)
3. Only use half or a quarter of the biscuits and add carrots, celery, mushrooms, green beans and
snap peas.
4. If not using any biscuits, add a little milk to the broth to make it thicker and coat your veggies
