    Easiest Bisquick Dumplings

    Classic homemade chicken and dumplings are delicious and comforting, but sometimes we don’t have time to spend hours making this dish. This version is super easy, ready in 30 minutes, with all the great flavors.

    Here’s the secret: use pre-cooked chicken and Bisquick package mix. For the chicken, you can use grilled or rotisserie chicken to cut your cooking time in half.

    Using Bisquick pancake mix is completely a game-changer and a great time saver. My favorite Bisquick recipes include Bisquick Strawberry Shortcake, Bisquick Coffee Cake, and this cozy and satisfying Chicken and Dumplings.

    Ingredients for Bisquick Chicken and Dumplings

    Bisquick Dumplings ingredients on the counter.
    • Chicken: To save time, use store-bought rotisserie chicken or leftover chicken. Of course you can boil whole chicken from scratch if you prefer.
    • Olive Oil: You can also use vegetable oil.
    • Onion: It adds heaps of flavor to your chicken and dumpling soup. Use whichever kind of onion you have on hand.
    • Carrots: You’ll need three large carrots for this hearty meal. Wash and slice your carrots before turning the stove.
    • Celery: You’ll need three stalks of celery. Chop the celery and set it aside.
    • Chicken Broth: Use low-sodium chicken broth to reduce salt intake.
    • Bay Leaf: This fragrant leaf adds subtle flavor to your chicken and dumplings. Substitute with oregano or thyme if you prefer.
    • Original Bisquick mix: This popular mix, created by Betty Crocker, is the heart of this recipe. You can buy it at local grocery stores or order online.
    • Milk: Use your choice of dairy or plant-based milk for this recipe.

    • When the vegetables are tender, remove them from the broth.
    • Reduce the heat and spoon out a piece of Bisquick dumpling dough and drop it into the chicken broth. Repeat this process until you used up all the Bisquick dough.
    • Simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until the dumplings are fully cooked.
    • Add shredded chicken and vegetables into the broth, and cook for about 3 minutes or until heated through.

    Tips for Prevent Bisquick Dumplings from Falling Apart

    To avoid the disappointment of your dumplings falling apart, make sure to remove the vegetables first. Don’t stir the dumplings after dropping the dough into the pot. Just let them simmer. Keep the heat LOW so that the broth gradually simmers. A rolling boil will destroy your delicate dumplings.

    Can I Use Rotisserie Chicken in This Recipe?

    Yes, rotisserie chicken may be used if you prefer. This will allow you to reduce your cooking time. Just remember that the chicken is already cooked, and be mindful not to overcook it. Just add in the rotisserie chicken at the end, after your dumplings are cooked.

    How Do You Thicken Chicken and Dumplings Sauce?

    I find the soup is very flavorful and don’t need to be thickened. But if you prefer a thicker and heartier soup, you’ll need some cornstarch. Add the cornstarch and water mixture ( 1 tablespoon of each) to the boiling broth, stirring constantly until the soup has thickened.

    Can You Make Bisquick Chicken and Dumplings in a Slow Cooker?

    This recipe is ideal for the slow cooker. What could be better than coming home to a delicious pot of Bisquick Chicken and Dumplings, just waiting to be served? To make this recipe in the slow cooker, put all ingredients except the dumplings into the slow cooker and cook on high for 3 hours. Thirty minutes before dinnertime, add in your dumplings to complete the meal. If you’re using rotisserie chicken, don’t add it in until 30 minutes before you’re ready to eat.

      Everyone loved this meal. Easy to make and will be part of our rotating menus. We did not use onions though as one person is allergic to them.
