Description
Bisquick Chicken and Dumplings is a cozy 30-minute comfort dinner made with rotisserie chicken, creamy chicken bouillon broth, and soft Bisquick dumplings steamed until fluffy and tender.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 1/2 cups cold water
- 1 level tablespoon Knorr Chicken Bouillon Powder
- 2 1/2 cups Bisquick Baking Mix, divided
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 cooked rotisserie chicken, skin and bones removed, shredded or chopped
- Black pepper, optional, for serving
- Fresh parsley, optional, for garnish
Instructions
- In a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, whisk together the cold water, chicken bouillon powder, and 1/2 cup Bisquick until smooth and lump-free.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the remaining 2 cups Bisquick and milk until a soft dumpling dough forms.
- Remove the skin and bones from the rotisserie chicken, then shred or chop the meat into bite-sized pieces.
- Place the pot over medium-high heat and continuously whisk the broth mixture until it thickens and begins to bubble, about 10 minutes.
- Stir the shredded chicken into the thickened broth and reduce the heat to medium.
- Use a tablespoon or small scoop to drop golf-ball-size portions of dumpling dough into the bubbling broth.
- Cover the pot with a lid and cook for 20 to 25 minutes without stirring, keeping the lid closed as much as possible so the dumplings steam properly.
- Serve hot with black pepper and fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
- Use cold water when whisking the broth base to help prevent lumps.
- Do not overmix the dumpling dough; stir only until a soft dough forms.
- Keep dumplings about golf-ball size because they expand while cooking.
- Keep the lid closed while the dumplings cook so they steam properly and stay fluffy.
- Serve hot with a side salad, steamed vegetables, biscuits, or crusty bread.
- Add fresh parsley on top for extra flavor and color.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat gently on the stovetop over low heat to keep the dumplings soft.
- Add a splash of broth or milk while reheating if the mixture becomes too thick.
- For best freezer texture, freeze the chicken broth mixture separately and make fresh dumplings when serving.
