Ingredients

  • 4 ½ cups cold water
  • 1 level Tablespoon Knorr Chicken Boullion Powder
  • 2 ½ cups DIVIDED, Bisquick Baking Mix You will use ½ cup first for the broth and then 2 cups for the dumplings
  • ¾ cup milk
  • 1 cooked rotisserie chicken

Instructions

  • Don't turn the heat on yet. In a large (not heated) heavy bottomed pot that has a lid, like a dutch oven, whisk together the cold water, soup base boullion powder, and ONLY ½ cup of the Bisquick until all lumps are dissolved. Set aside.
  • Prepare the Dumplings Dough: In a medium bowl, with a spoon, stir together the remaining 2 Cups of Bisquick with ¾ cup milk. Stir until soft dough forms. Set aside.
  • Prepare the Chicken: The rotisserie chicken can be cold or warm. Remove and discard the skin and bones, keeping only the good meat. Set Aside.
  • Put it all together: Place the big pot mixture on the stovetop and turn heat to Medium-high heat. Continuously whisk until the mixture starts to thicken. It takes about 10 minutes.
    Once it is starting to thicken just a little bit and is bubbly, then you stir in the chicken. Reduce the heat to Medium.
  • With a small scoop, or Tablespoon, drop little ball mounds of the dumpling dough about the size of golf balls into the pot of bubbly chicken and broth. The dumplings will swell up 4 x's the size so don't make them too big or they won't cook through.
  • Place the lid on the top of the pot and do not disturb for 20-25 minutes. Continue to cook on Medium Heat.
    Keeping the lid on helps to steam and cook the dumplings. If you peek, don't feel guilty, you will just have to keep the lid on a little longer. :)
  • ****Optional, sprinkle with pepper. This recipe does not need additional salt.

Notes

Special Tip* If the lid on your pot allows for steam to escape, place a sheet of foil between the lid and the rim, and then lay the lid on top of it. That will seal the moisture in.
