How to Make Anita's Chicken And Dumplings

  1. In a large Dutch oven or kettle, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add 2 stalks of celery (chopped), 1 medium onion (chopped), and 2 carrots (chopped) and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, 2 cups chicken broth, 2 chicken bouillon cubes, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and tender.
  4. Remove chicken from the pot and let cool slightly. Shred or cut into bite-sized pieces.
  5. Return the shredded chicken to the pot.
  6. **Make the dumplings:** In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups Bisquick baking mix, 1/8 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/8 teaspoon black pepper, 1/8 teaspoon poultry seasoning, a dash of ground nutmeg, and 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley.
  7. Gradually add 2/3 cup milk, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
  8. (Optional: Double the dumpling recipe for extra dumplings and a thicker gravy.)
  9. Drop spoonfuls of dumpling mixture onto the simmering chicken and broth.
  10. Cook uncovered for 10 minutes.
  11. Cover and cook for another 10-15 minutes, or until dumplings are cooked through and fluffy.
