Ingredients

4 1/2 Cup Bisquick For dumplings
1 1/3 Cup Milk, 2% For dumplings
2 Tbsp Parsley, Fresh (can used dried) For dumplings
2 Tsp Pink Himalayan Salt (can you table salt) For dumplings
1 Tsp Black Pepper For dumplings
4 Chicken Breasts, Boneless,. Skinless Can use whole chicken, then remove meat from bone
2 Quarts Water
2 Cups Water
2 Tbsp Better than Bouillon, Roasted Chicken Base
2 Cans Cream of Chicken Soup (10 1/2 oz)
2 Tsp Onion Powder
Salt and Pepper, to taste

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.
