Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups rotisserie chicken shredded
  • 3 cups chicken broth low sodium
  • 2 cups biscuit dough see note!
  • 2 tablespoons cooking oil
  • 1 ½ cups carrots chopped
  • 1 cup mushrooms sliced
  • 1 cup onion diced
  • ½ cup celery chopped
  • ½ cup bell pepper chopped
  • ¼ cup gluten free flour blend * see note
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon ground sage
  • 2 teaspoons dried parsley
  • 1 bay leaf

Instructions
 

  • In a pot or cast-iron Dutch oven, add the oil and cook the onions, carrots, mushrooms, celery, and peppers for 5 minutes until the onions are softened.
  • Add the cooked chicken and seasonings.
  • Prepare the biscuit dough. Again, you will be using my gluten free biscuit dough recipe.
  • There are two ways to shape the dumplings. You can just take spoonfuls of dough and drop it into the chicken mixture, or flatten the biscuit dough on wax paper and cut it into squares.
  • Pour the broth into the chicken mixture. Cover and bring to a boil for 5 minutes.
  • HINT: Want to make this gluten free chicken and dumplings extra creamy? Add 1/4 cup of heavy cream. I didn't do this but often do when I don't need it to be dairy-free.
  • Drop the dumplings into the chicken mixture. Cover, reduce the heat to medium-low, and allow the dumplings to cook for 15-20 minutes. DO NOT remove the lid. The steam is what helps to cook your dumplings.

Notes

  1. You can use my delicious gluten free biscuit recipe to make the biscuit dough, or use any gluten free biscuit mix or gluten free Bisquick .
  2. I have tested this recipe with King Arthur Measure for Measure GF. That doesn't mean others will not work, I just have not tested other flours. You can also use potato starch if you prefer since this is just for thickening.
  3. This chicken and dumplings will keep for up to 4 days in an air-tight container or up to 4 months in the freezer.

SPECIAL NOTE

Please know that every gluten free flour blend has a different starch to grain ratio. If you use a blend I didn't test, you may need to adjust your moisture levels in your baked goods.
