Ingredients

For the Soup

  • 6 cups chicken broth plus more if needed
  • 2 pieces bay leaves
  • salt & pepper to taste

Bisquick Dumplings

Chicken

  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken use store-bought rotisserie chicken to save time, or you can boil whole chicken from scratch

Instructions

Make the Soup

  • Add oil to a large dutch oven or pot over medium-high heat.
  • Add onions, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes or until vegetables begin to soften.
  • Add chicken broth and bay leaves. Bring to a boil, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Let the soup gently boil for about 5 minutes or until vegetables are tender. While the broth is simmering, prepare Bisquick dumplings below.

Make Bisquick Dumplings

  • In a large mixing bowl, mix the bisquick mix and milk until just combined. (Don't overmix your dough)

Cook Bisquick Chicken and Dumplings

  • When the vegetables are tender. Remove them from the soup.
  • Reduce the heat, and spoon out a piece of Bisquick dumpling dough using a cookie dough spoon and drop it into the soup. Repeat this process until you used up all the Bisquick dough.
  • Simmer uncovered for 10 minutes, and cover with a lid and cook for another 5-10 minutes or until the dumplings are cooked through.
  • Add shredded chicken and vegetables into the broth, and season with more salt and pepper if needed. Cook for about 3 minutes or until heated through.

Notes

  • To avoid your dumplings from 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 You Make Bisquick Chicken and Dumplings in a Slow Cooker? Yes, simply add all ingredients except the dumplings to the slow cooker and cook on high for 3 hours. About 30 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.
  • How to thicken the soup: 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.
