Ingredients

• 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
• 2 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
• 2 stalks celery stalks, sliced
• 2 cloves minced garlic cloves
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 6 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 cups bisquick mix
• 0.75 cup milk

Directions

Step 1

Place the chicken breasts in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside to cool. Discard the water.

Step 2

Once the chicken is cool enough to handle, shred it into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 4-5 minutes, or until the vegetables begin to soften.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute, stirring frequently, until fragrant.

Step 5

Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the vegetables and stir well to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 6

Gradually pour in the chicken broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it thicken slightly, about 5 minutes.

Step 7

Stir in the shredded chicken, heavy cream, thyme, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer gently while you make the dumplings.

Step 8

In a medium bowl, combine the Bisquick mix and milk. Stir until a soft dough forms.

Step 9

Drop spoonfuls of the dough directly onto the simmering chicken mixture, spacing them evenly across the surface. You should have about 10-12 dumplings.

Step 10

Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid and let the dumplings cook undisturbed for 15 minutes. They should puff up and become light and fluffy.

Step 11

Gently stir the broth to ensure the dumplings are cooked through and serve the creamy chicken and dumplings hot. Enjoy!
