Recipe: Mom’s Chicken and Dumplings

June 10, 2019 · FoodHussy · 1 Comment

When I was a kid – we had an old school Betty Crocker recipe box and my favorite recipe was Chicken and Dumplings. I literally haven’t had this in probably 25 years – but I was ready to enjoy it again. It’s definitely comfort food and so tasty!   
The problem with the original recipe was there was never enough gravy – so my parents always doubled the gravy and that is the perfect balance. We made the OG in an electric skillet with a cut up chicken – but in honor of convenience – I used half a rotisserie chicken and it was perfect (and less work!) 

How do you make chicken and dumplings with Bisquick? 

I was so excited to dig into my Mom’s Chicken and Dumplings! She always made the dumplings with Bisquick and they are so light and fluffy! The recipe couldn’t be easier – mix together milk, frozen peas and carrots, rotisserie chicken and soup. Then you make the dumplings with just Bisquick and milk – drop them on top and let it simmer. I know this recipe is the EASIEST and BEST chicken and dumplings recipe I’ve ever tried – it’s why I’m sharing it with you!

Can you freeze Chicken and Dumplings? 

I probably wouldn’t – I think the gravy/chicken/veggies would be fine but I really like the dumplings best when they are fresh! 

Can Chicken and Dumplings be reheated? 

Yes! Obviously – I’m a single lady right now – I couldn’t eat that whole pan of the best chicken and dumplings – so I had to do something with the leftovers! I did give each of my dogs a plate – haha – it’s part of my weight loss plan. 😉 But the rest I packaged up and took to work and I’ll say – they heated up great! Just make sure you heat it long enough as the dumplings take a little longer to reheat than the chicken/gravy. Cold dumplings are not good dumplings! haha

What goes with Chicken and Dumplings? 

Since it’s a substantial dish – I would definitely pair this with a salad like the Copycat Olive Garden Salad! Or skip the sides and go for a light fruit salad for dessert (strawberries are in season!). 

I know you’ll love my Mom’s Chicken and Dumplings as much as I do! I definitely won’t be waiting 25 years to make it again!
