CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS
What makes this version of classic chicken and dumplings extra delicious is its long and slow simmer time. While this chicken and dumplings recipe will take about three hours to cook, everything comes together in a single Dutch oven, meaning this one-pot meal will require little clean-up afterwards. The chicken, celery, carrot, onion and parsley in this dish makes for a meaty, flavorful slow-cooked broth. Using Original Bisquick™ mix to make quick dumplings not only saves time but also produces light, fluffy dumplings for the topping. Use this beloved dish as the perfect excuse to gather around the table to make new memories with your family.
