Swanson chicken and dumplings with greens

A weeknight supper that starts with a can and gains body and brightness from greens and aromatics stirred in at the end. The spaetzle dumplings stay tender while the broth simmers down and thickens.

Serves 2. 25 minutes, 8 at the stove.

You need

To buy

  • 2 cups fresh spinach or kale

From your shelf

  • 10.5 oz can Swanson canned chicken and dumplings

Staples

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 small onion
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • to taste salt
  • to taste pepper

  1. Dice 1 small onion and mince 2 cloves garlic. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a wide pot over medium heat and cook the onion until soft, about 4 minutes, then add the garlic and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  2. Pour the entire 10.5 oz can of chicken and dumplings into the pot and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Let it bubble gently for 10 minutes, allowing the broth to thicken and the flavors to meld. While it cooks, roughly chop 2 cups fresh spinach or kale.
  3. Stir in the greens and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste and divide between two bowls.

Note Swap the spinach for shredded cabbage or any tender greens on hand. Leftovers keep covered in the fridge for three days; reheat gently with a splash of water to loosen. Serve with bread to soak the broth or a simple side salad.
