Instructions

Follow these steps to make chicken and dumplings with minimal effort.

Step 1: Sauté and Simmer

1. Warm the Pot
   
   • Place a dutch oven over medium-high heat or a large pot on the stovetop. Drizzle in a little oil or melt butter.
     
2. Add Chicken
   
   • Add chicken (if raw) along with onion, carrot, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. If you want more tender chicken, keep cooking until lightly browned. If using rotisserie chicken, sauté just the veggies first, then add the chicken later.
     
3. Pour Broth
   
   • Add the 6 cups of broth or chicken stock. Whisk in 1 can of cream of chicken soup for a creamy chicken feel. Stir to combine. Let it simmer gently.
     
   • Season with salt, pepper, or any herbs you like, such as thyme or parsley.
     

Step 2: Prepare the Dumplings

1. Make Bisquick Dough
   
   • In a bowl, combine bisquick with ⅔ cup milk. You want a thick dough. If you want extra flavor, stir in chopped parsley or a pinch of garlic powder.
     
   • Avoid overmixing. Overworked dough might turn chewy.
     
2. Drop Dumplings
   
   • Once the soup base is hot and gently boiling, make the dumplings by scooping spoonfuls of the dough. Drop dumplings on top of the simmering liquid, spacing them slightly. This is how you get “dumplings with bisquick” that fluff up on top.
     

Step 3: Cook the Dumplings

1. Cover the Pot
   
   • Place a lid on the pot to help the contents steam properly. This is crucial for forming fluffy dumplings. Reduce the heat to maintain a light simmer.
     
2. Time and Check
   
   • Let the dumplings cook for about 10 minutes covered. Then uncover for another 5 minutes to let them firm up.
     
   • Pierce a dumpling with a fork to see if the center is cooked. If the dumplings are done, they should be set inside, not raw dough. The total time can vary, so keep an eye on them.
     

Step 4: Shred (If Needed) and Serve

1. Remove Chicken
   
   • If you left your skinless chicken pieces whole, now is the time to remove chicken, shred it, then return it to the pot. For an even simpler approach, just cut it into smaller chunks.
     
2. Add Chicken
   
   • Return the shredded chicken or chunks. Let them warm for a moment.
     
3. Final Touches
   
   • Taste the broth. Adjust salt or pepper as needed. If you like a thicker consistency, whisk in 1-2 teaspoons of cornstarch with a bit of cold water, then stir it in.
     
   • Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley. Now your chicken mixture is ready.
     

At this stage, you have your bisquick chicken and dumplings recipe at hand!

Pro Tips and Variations

• Slow Cooker or Crock Pot
  
  • You can adapt this for a slow cooker or crock pot by sautéing veggies on the stovetop first, then transferring everything. Add dumplings in the last hour so they don’t get mushy.
    
• Leftover Chicken
  
  • If you have leftover chicken from a previous meal, toss it in near the end to warm up. This helps avoid overcooking.
    
• Chicken Thighs
  
  • Boneless skinless chicken breasts are popular, but chicken thighs bring extra richness if you like dark meat.
    
• Canned Biscuits
  
  • Out of bisquick? You can do a quick hack by cutting canned biscuits into quarters and dropping them into the chicken soup to cook as dumplings.
    
• Add More Creaminess
  
  • Extra condensed cream of chicken soup or a splash of heavy cream can make it more decadent.
    
• Cornstarch Slurry
  
  • If you want an even thicker broth, whisk cornstarch with cool water and stir it in while the stew simmers.
    

These ideas let you customize your chicken and bisquick dumplings to match your taste.

Serving Suggestions

• Parsley Sprinkle
  
  • A garnish of fresh parsley adds a touch of color to the dish.
    
• Crusty Bread
  
  • Sop up the leftover gravy with bread or a warm biscuit.
    
• Side Salad
  
  • If you want something light, pair your easy and delicious stew with a crisp salad.
    
• Leftover Chicken and Dumplings
  
  • Store leftover servings in the fridge up to three days. Reheat gently in a pot or microwave. Keep in mind dumplings might soak up extra liquid over time.
