vegetable chicken & dumplings
I call this my compromise recipe. Because the dumplings are made with Bisquick, the way my husbands mom made them, I am accustomed to making mine from scratch the way my mom always made ours. But the mixed vegetables are my addition because we had vegetables with so many of our food dishes in the South. So in addition to the onions & celery I added mixed vegetables, & also added chopped green onion tops, garlic powder & lemon pepper to the bisquick. This was my first time using Bisquick to make dumplings, & the addition of the spices gave it a home made flavor. AWESOME IS ALL I can say!

How To Make vegetable chicken & dumplings
-
Step 1Please note I chose not to add butter to the chicken broth of this recipe as many cooks do, because I chose to add it to the bisquick dumplings mix instead.But you may add it if you so desire.
-
Step 2Chop celery into 2 inch pieces, then chop onions into medium size pieces. Then add to large stock pot. -
Step 3Add 3 chicken boullion cubes& spices to pot as well.
-
Step 4Add chicken parts. Cover with water about 10 cups to start or as much as needed to cover . Bring pot to boil over medium high heat, then lower heat and simmer for about an hour or until chicken is tender.
-
Step 5Remove chicken parts from pot with slotted spoon, remove skin and bones and break or cut pieces into large chunks, leave in bowl and set aside till needed.
-
Step 6Prepare dumplings by measuring out bisquick into a large bowl. Add the softened butter and blend with a pastry blender or 2 forks, till butter is incorporated into flour mixture.
-
Step 7Add chopped green onion tops or parsley and spices,then add chicken broth.
-
Step 8Stir till dough comes together.
-
Step 9Shape dough into about 16 tablespoon size dumplings, or according to the size you desire.
-
Step 10Drop dumplings individually into into simmering pot. Cover with tight fitting lid, and allow to cook for about 20 minutes.
-
Step 11After the 20 minutes, remove the lid, & add the Cream of Chicken Soup, and the chicken pieces.
-
Step 12Also add the frozen vegetables, stir GENTLY, COVER WITH LID, and allow to cook for an additional 10 minutes over low heat. Stir to make sure it did not stick.
-
Step 13Ladle and serve with your favorite bread or crackers if desired. So although the dumplings were not flat as I am accustomed, they still were very good. Moral of the story, Flat or Round if they taste good it doesn't matter what shape they are in. Smile
