Ingredients

• Chicken broth – I recommend using a low sodium chicken broth. While I actually enjoy my foods on the salty side, I find that the level of salt in broth can sometimes be unpredictable, and I prefer to have a bit more control over the flavor. If you don’t have chicken broth on hand, you could use a chicken stock, vegetable broth or use two cups of water mixed with two chicken bouillon cubes or two teaspoons of chicken bouillon powder.
  
• Cream of chicken soup – Whatever your favorite cream of chicken soup is, go with that. Campbells and Pacific Foods are two brands that I typically choose. If you prefer to use a homemade cream of chicken soup, check out this recipe.
  
• Cream of celery soup – Once again, Campbells and Pacific get high marks as my top choices here. If you don’t have, or don’t like cream of celery soup, you can simply replace this with more cream of chicken soup.
  
• Chicken – Light meat, dark meat, whatever chicken you like will work here! We often grill extra chicken on the weekends, then use the leftovers for recipes like this one. Another fantastic option is to use a rotisserie chicken. In a pinch, a can of rinsed and well drained chicken will even work.
  
• Frozen Carrots – While the recipe calls for frozen carrots, I often grab a bag of frozen peas and carrots instead.
  
• Onion powder, Garlic powder, Salt, Pepper – Make sure for the onion and garlic powder that you are using powder, not salt. You could also use minced garlic and/or a finely diced onion in their place.
  
• Flour tortillas – Your favorite brand of flour tortillas will be perfect for this recipe. We have a few neighborhood Mexican restaurants that sell their tortillas by the dozen, and this recipe always gives me a great excuse to buy a pack!
  
• Milk – Whichever milk you have on hand will work. While I typically use 2%, whole works great. You can even use half and half or cream, which creates a wonderfully rich meal.

Steps To Take

Making Chicken and Dumplings with tortillas is very simple and straightforward. If you just want the recipe, just skip down to the bottom of the page, otherwise let’s go through the steps you will take to make this recipe.

To begin, pour the chicken pot into a large dutch oven or stock pot, and place on medium heat. Next, whisk in the cans of cream of chicken and cream of celery soup. Stir until smooth and allow to simmer for ten minutes.

Next, add in the chicken, frozen carrots, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and black pepper. Stir to combine and bring to a gentle boil.

Cut the tortillas into approximately one inch squares. A pizza cutter is perfect for doing this quickly and easily. Add the tortillas to the soup and gently press them into the soup. Make sure to be gentle, otherwise the tortillas may tear. Return to a boil and allow to gently simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the milk. Then it’s time to serve and enjoy!
