Chicken Chowder with Biscuit Dunkers for Two

Recipe Ingredients

A few simple ingredients come together to create the ultimate comfort-food meal. Here’s what you’ll need.

Frozen Pillsbury™ Grands!™ Biscuits: We love using these frozen biscuits when making recipes for two, because then we don’t need to open up an entire can of biscuits. We can just grab what we need for this recipe, and pop the rest of the package in the freezer for later.

Progresso™ Rich & Hearty Chicken Corn Chowder: This satisfying soup is full of flavor and heats up in minutes. It’s the perfect creamy, hearty base for this recipe.

Chopped Cooked Chicken: This adds protein and extra heartiness to the soup. Rotisserie chicken works great for this; shredded leftover chicken would work, too.

Other Ingredients You’ll Need: Pepper Jack cheese gives the chowder a touch of spice and rich, melty texture. If you don’t want the spice, any shredded cheese will do. Roasted red bell pepper bring a hint of smoky-sweet flavor. We use jarred peppers because they save so much time! If you (or the kids) aren’t a fan of red peppers, you could simply add more corn instead, or add the same amount of any frozen veggie.

How to Make Chicken Chowder with Biscuit Dunkers for Two

Here’s a quick look at how to prep this cozy meal. Keep scrolling for the full recipe instructions.

1. Prep the Biscuits

Give your frozen biscuits a quick microwave warm-up to soften them. Then, cut each one into six pieces. (If you want larger biscuit chunks, cut into four pieces instead—or just leave the biscuits whole and bake according to the package instructions.) Spread the biscuit pieces on a baking sheet and bake 12 to 14 minutes in a 375°F oven until puffed and golden brown. Your dunkers are ready!

2. Warm the Chowder

Heat the Progresso™ chowder in a saucepan with the diced chicken, shredded cheese, and diced roasted red pepper until hot.

3. Serve and Dunk

Ladle the chowder into bowls, top with warm biscuit pieces, and dive in! Every bite will be cheesy, creamy, and completely comforting.

How to Store (and Reheat) Chicken Chowder with Biscuit Dunkers for Two

The chowder reheats beautifully, and you can pop extra biscuit pieces in the oven for a few minutes to bring back their fresh-baked texture.

Room Temperature Storage

Store any extra biscuit pieces separately from the chowder; otherwise, they’ll get too soggy. You can keep them in a resealable bag on the counter for up to 3 days.

Refrigerator Storage

Store leftover chowder in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Freezer Storage

Freeze the chowder in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Don’t freeze the leftover biscuit pieces; they will get soggy and dense when thawed. We recommend cooking new ones to eat with your leftover chowder.

Reheating

Biscuits: Heat in a 350°F oven for 5 minutes until warm and crispy on the outside.

Refrigerated Chowder: Microwave on high for 2 minutes, stir, and microwave again in 30-second increments if needed until hot.

Frozen Chowder: Microwave on High for 4 to 6 minutes, stir, and microwave again in 1-minute increments, stirring in between, until hot.
