Ingredients for Awesome Chicken And Dumplings

How to Make Awesome Chicken And Dumplings

1. Place 1 whole (about 3-4 lbs) chicken in a large pot and cover with 8 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour, or until chicken is cooked through.
2. Remove chicken from pot and let cool slightly. Shred chicken, discarding skin and bones, and return the shredded chicken to the pot of chicken broth.
3. Stir in 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup. Bring to a gentle boil.
4. For a thicker soup, whisk together 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and 1/4 cup cold butter in a saucepan until smooth. Gradually whisk in 1 cup of chicken broth until smooth and thickened. Stir into the soup.
5. Season generously with 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
6. Add 2 cups chopped carrots to the soup and simmer for 15 minutes, or until carrots are tender.
7. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups Bisquick baking mix and 1 cup milk until just combined. Do not overmix.
8. Drop spoonfuls of the dumpling batter into the simmering soup, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
9. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until dumplings are cooked through and no longer float on top.
