Chicken and Dumplings with Biscuit Dough

Combine chicken with sufficient water in a large pot, placing it over extremely high heat. The mixture will soon reach its boiling point. Continue to boil the chicken until it is no longer pink in the middle and the juices flow freely, taking around 15 to 20 minutes. To verify the chicken's doneness, insert an instant-read thermometer into its center; it should register at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Next, pour off some of the water from the pot, reserving 3 cups in the process. Remove the cooked chicken and allow it to cool slightly before breaking it down into smaller, bite-sized pieces. Return the chicken to the pot.

Add a can of condensed soup to the mixture, and season with salt and pepper according to your preference. Reduce the heat of the pot to a medium setting.

Now, take the biscuit dough and divide it into smaller pieces. Add these to the pot with the chicken mixture, and continue to simmer until the dough is cooked through, taking around 7 to 8 minutes.
