Quick Chicken and Dumplings
A cozy and quick version of classic chicken and dumplings — tender chicken and vegetables in a savory broth with fluffy drop-style dumplings that cook right in the pot.
Equipment
- Soup Pot
- Mixing Bowl
Ingredients
Soup Base
- 1 cup chopped cooked chicken
- 1½ cups milk
- 1 cup frozen peas and carrots
- 1 can (10½ oz) condensed cream of chicken soup
Dumplings
- 1 cup Bisquick™ baking mix
- ⅓ cup milk (for dumplings)
- paprika (optional) for garnish
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1½ cups milk, frozen peas and carrots, chicken, and condensed cream of chicken soup. Heat to boiling over high heat, stirring frequently. Reduce to a simmer.
- In a medium bowl, mix 1 cup Bisquick™ baking mix with ⅓ cup milk until a soft dough forms.
- Gently drop the dumpling dough by spoonfuls onto the simmering chicken mixture. Do not submerge the dumplings in liquid; they should sit on top.
- Simmer over low heat for 10 minutes. Cover and cook 8–12 minutes longer, or until dumplings are cooked through and fluffy.
- Sprinkle with paprika if desired and serve hot.
