With back-to-school around the corner, these super easy Chicken and Dumplings are the perfect weekday meal and tastes just like homemade – without the wait or messy kitchen clean-up. I recently partnered with my friends over at the National Frozen and Refrigerated Foods Association to create an easy, but a yummy recipe for the back-to-school season. I’ll be sharing the recipe over on Instagram soon but you guys know I love to keep you in the know and I had to share it here on the blog (shoutout to my email list for being the first to know.)

Back to school comes with its fair share of work and the #1 priority should be figuring out a routine that works for your family – not what you’re going to eat for dinner. That said, These Chicken and Dumplings are made with rotisserie chicken and Pillsbury frozen biscuits to save time on those busy weeknights.

Chicken and Dumplings with Frozen Biscuits?

Yup, you read that right! While this Chicken and Dumplings recipe isn’t my typical 5 ingredients or less recipe, I promise it’s ready in no time and is FULL of flavor. In true time-saving fashion, I grabbed some cooked, presliced rotisserie chicken and a bag of frozen Pillsbury biscuits from the grocery store to whip this up. That way there’s no need to cook chicken and make the dumplings from scratch.

Aside from the various seasonings that make this dish ooze with flavor, the only other ingredients are celery, yellow onion, chicken stock, cream of chicken, chicken bouillon (I just added a cube), and butter. Not too bad right?

Did I mention that this is basically a one-pot meal? Yup, you can make this yummy dish in one pot while avoiding having a sink full of dirty pots and pans.

I’m pretty sure this is going to be my go-to dish during these upcoming fall and winter months, and I hope it becomes one of your favorite weeknight meals.

Without further ado, check out the full recipe, and see how you can whip up this easy recipe in only a few minutes with minimum mess.
