What's for dinner?

Chicken and Dumplings that's what!  Son 2 usually requests chicken and dumplings when it is his week to select a family dinner.  My recipe was my Mom's, and it was one of my favorites as a child.  It couldn't be simpler to make:

Chicken and Dumplings... it's whats for dinner!

Chicken and Dumplings

STEW
3 stalks celery, medium dice (if you want to fish the celery out at the end just cut the stalks in half instead)
bunch of carrots, peel and medium dice (if you want to fish out the carrots also cut in half instead)
4-6 chicken boneless, skinless breasts (I used 4), cut into 3 pieces each
48 ozs of chicken broth
pepper

DUMPLINGS
3 cups Bisquick
1 cup milk

Ready to simmer

Throw all the stew ingredients into a dutch oven and simmer for 1 1/2 hours or until chicken is very tender.  Adjust seasoning, be careful with salt depending on your chicken broth.

first 10 minutes of dumplings cooking

Make dumplings by mixing the Bisquick with the milk, dough will be sticky.  Drop by spoonfuls onto boiling stew (try and set the dumplings on a piece of chicken to hold it up).  Reduce heat; cook uncovered 10 minutes.  Cover and cook an additional 10 minutes.  *This makes enough for two decent size dumplings per person.  If you want more or less dumplings just add or deduct 1 cup of flour and 1/3 cup of milk.

Enjoy!
