CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS



Chicken and Dumplings image

What makes this version of classic chicken and dumplings extra delicious is its long and slow simmer time. While this chicken and dumplings recipe will take about three hours to cook, everything comes together in a single Dutch oven, meaning this one-pot meal will require little clean-up afterwards. The chicken, celery, carrot, onion and parsley in this dish makes for a meaty, flavorful slow-cooked broth. Using Original Bisquick™ mix to make quick dumplings not only saves time but also produces light, fluffy dumplings for the topping. Use this beloved dish as the perfect excuse to gather around the table to make new memories with your family.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will give your stew a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and green beans.

  • Make sure the dumplings are cooked through. They should be light and fluffy, not dense and doughy. Cook them for about 10 minutes, or until they are cooked through.
  • Serve the stew with a side of bread or rice. This will help to soak up the delicious broth.
