Description
A comforting one-pot meal featuring tender chicken, fluffy dumplings, and vibrant broccoli in a rich cheddar broth.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
- 1–2 tbsp Dash Garlic and Herb Garlic Blend (or any salt-free seasoning)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 5 tbsp butter, divided
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 2 carrots, diced
- 2 celery ribs, diced
- 6–7 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup milk
- 2 cups biscuit dough (store-bought or homemade)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat the pot and warm olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add diced chicken, sprinkle with garlic blend, and cook until golden.
- Push the chicken to one side, add onion, carrots, celery, and remaining butter. Stir until onions are translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add broccoli, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until bright green but firm.
- Pour in chicken broth and milk, increase heat to a gentle simmer. Season with salt and pepper.
- Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough onto the simmering mixture, cover, and lower heat for 15-20 minutes until dumplings are cooked through.
- Stir in shredded cheddar cheese until melted into the broth. Adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot in bowls.
Notes
For variations, try different types of cheese or biscuit dough. Add spices for extra flavor or use beans instead of chicken for a vegetarian option.
