Delicious Green Chile Chicken and Dumplings Recipe

Have you ever fixed dinner and only after you started cooking realize that some of the members of your family may not like what you have cooked for them? Yeah, well I had that situation the other night when I decided that I was going to change our traditional Chicken and Dumplings Soup into a Green Chile Chicken and Dumplings Stew.

When dinner time rolled around, I jumped into the kitchen like I always do and got started. It was only after about 10 minutes of prepping everything that my husband and the boys asked…what are you cooking mom?

It hit me at that second that telling them may not go over well because they have never had Green Chile anything before. :/ I told them that I had tried this awesome recipe at HEB yesterday called Green Chile Chicken & Dumplings and they were going to LOVE it! It was AMAZING. They just looked at me like I had told him we were having some foreign land dish for dinner and I shrugged it off knowing that they would love it…because it’s just that GOOD!

It was so easy to make and took so little time (which makes it a perfect meal for me). In 30 minutes, dinner was done and I dished out everyone’s Green Chile Chicken & Dumplings knowing that they were in for a treat.

Green Chile Chicken and Dumplings

Yield – 6 servings
Preparation Time – 10 minutes
Cooking Time – 20 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 jar Cookwell and Company Two-Step Green Chile Stew
• 12 oz. package fully cooked Chicken Fajitas
• 14.5 oz. Chicken Broth
• 2 cups Heavy Cream
• 2 can Buttermilk Biscuits, uncooked

How to Make Green Chile Chicken & Dumplings

• Defrost chicken and dice into bite-sized pieces
• Cut the raw biscuits into bite-sized pieces, set aside
• In a large stockpot (my favorite stockpot), add the chicken, broth, cream and Green Chile Stew Mix
• Stir, until the mixture comes to a boil
• Drop biscuits into the boiling liquid. Cook, stirring every 2 minutes for a total of 8 minutes
• Reduce heat and simmer for 5 more minutes.

Note: The ingredients in this recipe were adapted to our families tastes. The original recipe called for 2 cups chicken broth and 1 can of biscuits. All the instructions are the same for either variation.

As everyone was taking their first bite, I could tell that this dinner idea was going to go over well. Listening to the slurping sounds and yums come from their mouths told me that they loved it as much as I thought they would. After dinner, my husband looked at me and told me I could make it every week because he loved it that much.

I’d call that a success and I have HEB Primo Picks to thank for it!! :)
