Alright guys, I have a confession.

I like shortcuts.

So when I found this recipe for chicken and dumplings with canned biscuits? Ohhh yeah buddy! The result was absolutely AWESOME. Mr. T and I devoured it while watching the first X-Men movie (again!). Made for a perfect night :)

I have been very hesitant about making chicken and dumplings because let's be serious no one does it better than Cracker Barrel! But I manned up and tried it and you know what? SO CAN YOU!

Let's get started shall we? Here is what you need:

3-4 boneless chicken breasts
2 cans butter biscuits
1 can cream of chicken soup
3 bouillon cubes
1 tsp garlic salt (optional)
2 Tbsp butter

Start by boiling you chicken breasts (20 min) At that point, start preparing your dumplings by rolling out biscuits on a floured surface. Make them flat and make sure they all have a coating of flour. Tear them into quarter size pieces. When the chicken is done, set aside to cool. Keep the water in the pot the chicken was cooked in. Make sure you have about 3/4 water in the pot. (I had to use a big pot - the kind with the two handles on the sides) bring to a boil and add the cream of chicken, 2 Tbsp butter, 3 bouillon cubes, and 1 tsp of garlic salt. Stir well. Over med-high heat, begin to add the dumplings to the boiling water. Turn the heat down to medium and stir occasionally (they turn out better the less you stir.) Tear the chicken into small pieces and add it back into the pot. Cook for 30 to 45 minutes or until the dumplings are soft.

They were totally scrumptious! Let me know of your experience :) Do you do something different?
