How to Cook the Chicken and Veggies
-
Add all of the vegetables, chicken, and spices to a large stock pot. Add enough water to the pot to submerge all of the ingredients.
-
Cover and heat to boiling, then reduce heat. Simmer about 1 1/2 hours or until chicken is cooked through.
How to Make Dumplings
-
While the chicken and veggies are cooking, stir together Bisquick mix and milk in a bowl until a soft dough forms.
-
Once the chicken and vegetables are cooked through, drop spoonfulls of the dough into the stock pot, on top of the chicken and vegetables.
Add enough to make a layer of dumplings on top. Don't worry if it looks like it's blending together, it will cook into little biscuit mounds. -
Cook this uncovered about 10 minutes.
-
Then cover and cook another 10 minutes or until the Bisquick mixture has turned to what looks like cooked biscuits.
-
Remove from heat and serve.
