Step-by-Step Instructions for Homemade Chicken and Dumplings
- In a large bowl, combine 8 cups of water with 4 tablespoons of Better than Bouillon Chicken. Microwave for 3 minutes, stir until fully dissolved, and set aside.
- In a stock pot over medium heat, melt 4 tablespoons of salted butter. Add diced carrots, celery, and onions; sauté for about 10 minutes until they soften and become fragrant.
- Sprinkle 1/2 cup of flour over the sautéed vegetables, stirring well to incorporate. Cook for an additional minute to create a slightly golden roux.
- Pour the prepared broth into the pot, stirring continuously to combine. Increase the heat and bring the mixture to a rapid boil.
- Reduce the heat to low and add the shredded rotisserie chicken, along with your chosen seasonings and 1 cup of milk. Allow the mixture to simmer gently for about 5 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, mix 2 cups of Bisquick with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt. Slowly incorporate 2/3 cup of milk, stirring until just combined.
- Using a cookie scoop, gently drop the dumpling batter into the simmering soup, ensuring space between each one.
- Cover the pot tightly and let the soup simmer on low for 15 minutes without lifting the lid.
- After 15 minutes, carefully turn each dumpling over using a spoon. Cook uncovered for an additional 2-3 minutes until tender and fluffy.
- Ladle your delicious Homemade Chicken and Dumplings into bowls, garnishing with fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot.
