2.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
4 cups Low Sodium Chicken Broth
2 cups water
22.5 oz tube refrigerated biscuits (3 - 7.5 oz tubes), cut into quarters and separated
Salt and Pepper to taste

Put 2.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs, 4 cups Low Sodium Chicken Broth, Salt and Pepper to taste and 2 cups water in a large pot and bring to a boil.
While the chicken is cooking, cut 22.5 oz tube refrigerated biscuits into quarters, separate and set aside.
Once the chicken is cooked through, reduce heat to medium heat (leaving the pot of liquid on the burner while you shred the chicken), shred with two forks in a large bowl and return to the pot.
Add the quartered biscuits to the pot, gently stirring as you add them. (The more you stir, the thicker the liquid will be.)
Cook for 5-7 minutes, until dumplings reach your desired texture.
