🥘Ingredients

For the Soup Base

1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs
1 tbsp olive oil
1 medium onion diced
2 carrots peeled and diced
2 celery stalks diced
3 cloves garlic minced
6 cups chicken broth
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried parsley
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp salt

For the Dumplings

2 cups Bisquick mix
2/3 cup milk
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp dried parsley

👨‍🍳Directions

1In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for 5 minutes until softened, stirring occasionally.
2Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
3Add chicken breasts or thighs to the pot. Pour in chicken broth, thyme, parsley, pepper, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until chicken is cooked through.
4Remove the chicken from the pot and set it on a cutting board. Use two forks to shred the chicken into bite sized pieces.
5Return the shredded chicken to the pot and bring the broth back to a gentle simmer.
6In a mixing bowl, combine Bisquick mix, milk, garlic powder, and dried parsley. Stir just until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
7Drop the dough by rounded spoonfuls onto the simmering broth. Make sure the dumplings are spaced apart. Cover the pot and cook for 10 minutes without lifting the lid.
8After 10 minutes, check that the dumplings are cooked through. They should be fluffy and no longer doughy in the center. Serve hot.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Chicken Dumplings with Bisquick

1. Can I use frozen chicken for this recipe?

Yes you can use frozen chicken but you will need to increase the simmering time by about 10 minutes to ensure the chicken is fully cooked through before shredding.

2. Can I make this recipe gluten free?

Yes you can use a gluten free baking mix in place of Bisquick to make the dumplings. Also be sure to use a gluten free chicken broth.

3. How do I store leftovers?

Store leftover chicken dumplings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The dumplings will absorb some broth so you may want to add a little extra broth when reheating.

4. Can I add other vegetables?

Absolutely. Peas, corn, green beans, or diced potatoes all work well in this recipe. Add them in step 1 along with the onion and carrots.

5. Why are my dumplings tough?

Tough dumplings are usually from overmixing the dough. Stir just until the ingredients are combined and no more. Also make sure to keep the pot covered while the dumplings cook so they steam properly.
