Cheater Chicken and Dumplings

I love Chicken and Dumplings and I've made so many variations on this incredible dish. This latest one is pretty much just a cheat using ingredients you may not think about using otherwise.

1/2 tablespoon fresh ground pepper (plus more to taste)

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook until they're soft, add the celery, chinese vegetables, green beans and white wine.

Cook for about 6 minutes, add the chicken to the pot, add the chicken stock and cover, cook on medium-low and simmer, partially covered, for 20 minutes.

If the broth is not as thick as you would like, whisk in about a tablespoon of corn starch.

Break the biscuits into fourths and drop into the pot.
