One of the secrets to great chicken and dumplings is a well seasoned broth. While cooking the chicken add some carrots, celery and chopped onions to the broth along with your seasonings. when you remove the chicken take out the carrots ans celery.

No. This is how my grandma taught me to make it. Put your chicken in a large dutch oven with water to cover it. Cook on med until chicken is done and take off bones. In a med bowl, put one cup Bisquick and 1/2 cup milk, stir until dough forms and drop in boiling broth for 10-15 mins until dumplings are done. Yummy

I use the canned biscuits all the time. Just seperate the biscuits, cut them in half, or quartered, depending on what size dumplings you like, and ad them to the chicken about 10 or 15 minutes till done.

They do great, and to me as good as home made with none of the hassle.

Chicken and Dumplings

The dark economical meat works well in this too.

Boneless chicken, skin removed 1 1/2 pounds

Butter or hard butter, 2 Tablespoons

Salt, 1 tsp.

Pepper, 1/4 tsp.

Water, 3 cups ( I use the low sodium chicken broth...the bigger carton, not the can)

Finely chopped onion....1/3 cup

Finely chopped celery 3 Tablespoons

Chicken bouillon powder ( 1 tsp. I use the low sodium)

Dumplings

All purpose flour........1 cup

Baking powder....2 tsp.

Granulated sugar.....1 tsp.

Salt........1/2 tsp.

Cold butter or hard margarine ........1 tablespoon

Milk.......1/2 cup

All pupose flour........3 Tablespoons

Water.....1/3 cup

Cut chicken into bite size pieces. Heat first amount of butter in fring pan. Add chicken. Brown

well over medium-high heat. Turn into large saucepan...( I use a big fring pan with high edges so I don't have to transfer)

Add Salt and Pepper to fring pan.. Stir in water, I use the low sodium broth, until it boils. Loosen all brown bits. Pour over chicken.

Add onion, celery and bouillon powder. If any pink is still in meat, cover and simmer until cooked. ( I simmered mine for almost an hour, so the meat is tender)

Dumplings

Measure first amount of flour, baking powder, sugar and salt into a bowl. Cut in butter until mealy. Add milk. Stir to form a dough. Have chicken mixture boiling. Drop dough by 6 or more spoonfuls over top. Cover. Cook over boiling mixture for 15 minutes without lifing lid. Remove dumplings to plate. ( I make the dumpling about the size of a walnut..they expand while cooking)

Mix remaining flour and water in small dish until smooth. Stir into boiling mixture to thicken...Put dumplings back in pan and serve....Serves 6

Thanks for posting this...the recipe using the canned biscuits that are floured & then cooked sounds easy enough for me. We love dumplings & I usually use Bisquick....I've tried making homemade ones & am a complete failure at them...my grandmother used to make great bread dumplings & my cousin's wife can make them but not me.

This sounds sooo good. If you try the frozen biscuits could you please post the outcome? I have a package of Swans frozen ones. We love the biscuits from them and I would like to try them in this. I just wonder if you do let them thaw a few min. or just cut and put in frozen. I can't wait to try this. Chicken n dumplings are one of our fav. meals. Thanks for posting.

I'd bet those frozen biscuits would be delicious. Might have to add a few minutes for "thaw time". I might try that tonight.

Here's a recipe that I use:

2 cans of biscuits

1/4 cup allpurpose flour seasoned with salt and pepper

1 can cream of chicken soup

3 chicken bouillon cubes

3 or 4 boneless chicken breasts

Boil the chicken breast until done (20-30 minutes). Cut biscuits into quarters and roll in flour. When the chicken is done, remove it from the pan and set aside to cool.Save the broth that the chicken was cooked in. Skim off any foam. The pot should be about 3/4 full of broth. Add more water if needed. Bring broth to a boil and add the cream of chicken soup and bouillon cubes. Stir well. Over medium high heat, add the dumplings. Reduce the heat to medium. DO NOT STIR. Cover pot and cook for 20-30 minutes until dumplings are fluffy and done. Cut chicken into pieces and add back into the pot when the dumplings are done.
