Follow The Directions

01

Step
8 mins

In a large stockpot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add celery, carrots, onion, and bell pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables begin to soften, about 5-8 minutes.

02

Step
4 mins

Add minced garlic to the pot and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add butter and stir until melted and coating all of the vegetables, about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add cubed potatoes and flour; stir until vegetables are coated and a creamy texture begins to form, about 3-4 minutes.

03

Step
15 mins

Stir in chicken broth, cream of chicken soup, lemon juice, chicken bouillon cubes, poultry seasoning, cayenne pepper, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.

04

Step
10 mins

Add shredded chicken to the pot. Simmer, uncovered, until the broth is reduced and slightly thickened, about 10 minutes.

05

Step
1 mins

Meanwhile, open the can of biscuits and slice each biscuit in half horizontally. Add the biscuit pieces to the top of the simmering soup.

06

Step
8 mins

Reduce heat to low, cover the pot, and cook for 8 minutes.

07

Step
8 mins

Remove the cover and carefully flip each biscuit over. Cover the pot again and simmer for another 8 minutes, or until biscuits are cooked through and golden brown. Serve hot in bowls with biscuits nestled in the bottom.

For a richer flavor, use homemade chicken stock instead of water and bouillon cubes.
Feel free to add other vegetables like peas, corn, or green beans.
If you don't have biscuit dough, you can make your own dumplings from scratch.
Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your desired level of spiciness.
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.

    This was so easy to make and my family loved it! The biscuits were a great addition.

  • Claud Wisoky

    I thought it was a little bland, so I added some hot sauce. Next time I'll use more cayenne pepper.

  • Darrin Terrybrown

    I added some frozen peas and it was a hit! Will definitely make this again.

  • Dannie Medhurst

    The biscuits were a little doughy in the middle, so I baked them in the oven for a few extra minutes after simmering.
