Ingredients
- Large Pot
- Measuring cup
- 1 package of store bought biscuits
- 4 packages of chicken flavored Ramen noodles
- 2 boneless and skinless chicken breasts, thawed
- Water
- Knife
- Skillet
- Spoon
Method
- Cut the chicken breasts into very small cubes inside the skillet you will be cooking them in. Do not use any oil or water in the skillet, as you are going to sear the chicken. Turn on the burner to medium high heat, and stir the chicken cubes around for about 3 minutes, or until browned.
- Crush the bags of Ramen noodles with the palms of your hands to create smaller sized noodles. Open the bags and remove the seasoning while adding the noodles to the pot. Open the seasoning and add to the pot while adding a cup of water at a time. You will use a total of 8 cups of water for the entire pot.
- Stir the chicken, seasoning and noodles with a spoon until the seasoning is no longer solid. Open the biscuits and begin pulling one at a time out of the package. Pull each biscuit into small pieces and drop into the pot.
- Turn the burner on to high, and stir all the ingredients together so no biscuit pieces are sitting on top of the water. Let this come to a rolling boil, which should take no more than about 8 minutes, depending on your stove. When the boil is rolling, your chicken and dumplings are done. Enjoy!
Tips:
If you do not like using the seasoning packets in Ramen for flavor because of the sodium, you can substitute in the same amount of chicken bouillon or 5 bouillon cubes. Just add these to the water before adding any other ingredients, and allow the water to boil while stirring.
