Quick prep, the convenience of a store-bought rotisserie chicken, and one-pan cooking makes this comfort-food at it’s finest!
For Herbed Buttermilk Dumplings (aka Biscuits):
3 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for rolling dough
1 tbsp. granulated sugar
1–1/2 tbsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. black pepper
1 tsp. chopped fresh rosemary
1 tsp. chopped fresh parsley
1 tsp. chopped fresh thyme
8 tbsp. (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold and cut into cubes
2/3 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup milk (whole or 2%)
For Chicken Filling:
3 tbsp. unsalted butter
1 medium onion, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
4 cups (32 ounces) chicken broth or prepared chicken bouillon
2 carrots, diced
2 stalks celery, diced
1 store-bought rotisserie chicken, deboned and skinned, meat cut into large chunks (about 4 cups)
Salt and pepper, to taste
1–2 tsp. fresh parsley, chopped
For Herbed Buttermilk Dumplings (aka Biscuits):
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. In a large bowl, blend together all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, black pepper, rosemary, parsley, and thyme. Cut cold cubed butter into flour mixture using a pastry cutter, two knives or your hands. Butter should be pea-sized. Add the buttermilk and milk. Blend until just combined. Turn onto a well-floured board. Pat and fold dough two to three times. Pat dough to about 1/2 inch thickness. Cut with a straight-sided round cutter (2- to 3-inch rounds). Set aside.
For Chicken Filling:
Melt the unsalted butter in a large oven-proof saucepan or skillet. Add onion and cook until softened (about 5 minutes). Add garlic and cook for an additional minute. Sprinkle all-purpose flour or onion and garlic. Stir to evenly coat. Gradually add chicken broth/bouillon to onion mixture. Stir well after each addition. Bring to a boil and add diced carrots and celery. Cook for about 5 minutes to let vegetables soften slightly, before stirring in rotisserie chicken. Add salt and pepper to taste.*
Top chicken mixture with cut herbed buttermilk dumplings (aka biscuits). Space cut dough about 1/2 to 1-inch apart, depending on the size of your oven-proof skillet. Bake for 21-25 minutes or until biscuit tops are golden brown. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately. Topping with freshly grated parmesan is optional!
*If using bouillon, you may want to adjust the amount of salt in the chicken filling.
