dutch oven chicken and dumplings
A comforting, hearty stew featuring tender chicken, soft vegetables, and fluffy Bisquick dumplings, cooked in a cast iron Dutch oven. Seasoned with basil, thyme, and bay leaf, this dish is designed to be flavorful yet gentle for sensitive stomachs. I have a sensitive stomach, but if you have an extremely sensitive stomach omit the onions and garlic.

How To Make dutch oven chicken and dumplings
-
Step 1In a cast iron Dutch oven, combine chicken breasts, sliced carrot, chopped celery, 1/4 cup sliced onions, garlic powder, dried basil, dried thyme, and bay leaf.
-
Step 2Pour in 4-5 cups of low-sodium chicken broth and add 1-2 tsp chicken base. Season with a pinch of salt and white pepper.
-
Step 3Cover with a lid and place in the preheated oven. Cook for 1 to 1.5 hours, until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and vegetables are fork-tender.
-
Step 4Remove Dutch oven from oven. Using tongs or forks, shred chicken in the broth for better flavor and easier digestion. Return shredded chicken to the pot and remove bay leaf.
-
Step 5In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup regular Bisquick mix with 1/3 cup milk. Stir until just combined (do not overmix to ensure fluffy dumplings).
-
Step 6Bring broth to a gentle simmer (either in the oven or on the stovetop over medium-low heat). Drop tablespoon-sized portions of dumpling dough into the simmering broth
-
Step 7Cover and return to the oven (or continue on stovetop) for 15-20 minutes, until dumplings are cooked through and fluffy.
-
Step 8Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and white pepper if needed. Serve hot.
