Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups baking mix, such as Bisquick
2/3 cup reduced-fat milk
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
6 cups low-sodium chicken stock
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 sprigs fresh thyme
1 bay leaf
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups shredded cooked chicken (or store-bought rotisserie chicken)
2 cups frozen mixed vegetables (such as peas, carrots and corn)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • To make the dumpling batter, combine the baking mix, milk and garlic powder in a medium bowl. Stir until just combined. Set aside.

Tips:

  • Prep Vegetables First: Before starting the stew, wash, peel, and chop the vegetables. This saves time and ensures they cook evenly.
  • Sear Chicken for Flavor: Searing the chicken pieces in a pot before adding the vegetables creates a flavorful base for the stew.
  • Use a Variety of Vegetables: Adding a variety of vegetables, such as carrots, celery, and potatoes, enhances the stew's flavor and nutritional value.
  • Homemade Dumplings: Making dumplings from scratch adds a personal touch to the stew and ensures they are fresh and fluffy.
  • Simmer for Flavorful Broth: Simmering the stew for at least 30 minutes allows the flavors to meld and develop a rich broth.
  • Season to Taste: Taste the stew before serving and adjust seasonings as needed. Consider adding herbs like thyme or rosemary for extra flavor.
