Steps

1

In 12-inch skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. With whisk, beat in flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper; cook 1 minute. Slowly beat in 1 cup of the milk in a thin stream, beating constantly; heat to boiling, then stir in remaining 2 cups milk, frozen vegetables and chicken. Return to boiling, stirring frequently.

Separate dough into 5 biscuits; cut each into fourths. Place biscuits on boiling mixture. Reduce to simmering; cook uncovered 10 minutes.

Stir; cover and reduce heat to low. Cook 8 to 10 minutes or until biscuits are cooked through.

Remove from heat; stir in cheese until melted.

Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

tip 1
Rotisserie chicken or any leftover cooked chicken or turkey works well in these Cheesy Chicken and Dumplings.
tip 2
Stirring in some of the milk slowly at first prevents the sauce from clumping.
tip 3
Top your Cheesy Chicken and Dumplings with chopped fresh parsley for a pretty garnish.
