Instructions
Make Dumplings Ahead
Combine Bisquick, Milk, Parsley, Pink Salt and Pepper in a medium size bowl.
Stir well with a fork. Cover with plastic wrap and place in refrigerator 2-3 hours before dropping in broth.
In a large pot, place chicken.
Mix better than bouillon and 1 quart of water. Pour over chicken. Add 1 more quart of water to the pot. Add onion powder. Bring to boil on medium/high heat. Cook for 20-30 minutes. **The internal temp for cooked chicken should be at least 165°. Please make sure it's cooked.
Remove chicken from pot and cut into small bite-sized chunks. Return chicken to broth. Add the cream of chicken soups, 2 cups of water, salt, and pepper, if desired. Bring back to a boil.
Once it has returned to a full boil, drop dumpling mix by the tablespoonful into the water.
Cover and cook for 5 minutes from the last dumpling you dropped. Do not stir at this point.**If the pot is as full as mine, vent it by lifting the lid slightly.
After 5 minutes, remove from heat and stir. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
**The Dumpling mixture can be made while the chicken is cooking. Making in advance and refrigerating helps thicken the mix so the dumplings keep most of their size/shape.**Some of the dumplings do dissolve during the boiling process. This helps thicken up the broth.**If the dumplings are too big for you, use a teaspoon to make the dumplings. Or, cut in half/quarters after they cook.ITEMS/INGREDIENTS USED IN RECIPE - If you are interested in any of the items I may have used (or are similar to the items I used) in making this recipe, I have listed all or some of them above within the post.
