Easy Bisquick Dumplings Recipe
Description
Easy Bisquick Dumplings recipe combines sautéed mixed vegetables, chicken broth seasoned with bay leaves, salt, and pepper, and chicken meat, either rotisserie or boiled and shredded. After simmering to tenderize the vegetables, the dumpling dough made from Bisquick mix and milk is dropped by spoonfuls into the broth. Gentle simmering cooks the dumplings through while maintaining a soft and fluffy consistency. The cooking method avoids stirring the dumplings to prevent breaking them apart.
The flavor combines the savory broth with tender vegetables and chicken for a comforting soup. The dumplings cook to a light texture on top of the soup base, making the dish substantial and satisfying. This recipe can be prepared on the stovetop or adapted for a slow cooker, which allows for convenience and hands-off cooking.
For a thicker and heartier consistency, cornstarch mixed with water can be added to the boiling broth to thicken it. Removal of vegetables before adding the dumpling dough helps avoid breaking apart the dumplings during cooking. The slow cooker method involves cooking the base ingredients first and adding dumplings and chicken toward the end to maintain texture. This flexibility makes it practical for different schedules and kitchen setups.
Ingredients
For the Soup
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cups mixed vegetables cubed, I used onions, carrots, and celery
- 6 cups chicken broth plus more if needed
- 2 pieces bay leaf
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Bisquick Dumplings
- 2 cups Bisquick Mix
- 2/3 cup milk
Chicken
- 2 cups chicken use store-bought rotisserie chicken to save time, or you can boil whole chicken from scratch, shredded, cooked
Instructions
Make the Soup
- Add oil to a large dutch oven or pot over medium-high heat.
- Add onions, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes or until vegetables begin to soften.
- Add chicken broth and bay leaves. Bring to a boil, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Let the soup gently boil for about 5 minutes or until vegetables are tender. While the broth is simmering, prepare Bisquick dumplings below.
Make Bisquick Dumplings
- In a large mixing bowl, mix the bisquick mix and milk until just combined. (Don't overmix your dough)
Cook Bisquick Chicken and Dumplings
- When the vegetables are tender. Remove them from the soup.
- Reduce the heat, and spoon out a piece of Bisquick dumpling dough using a cookie dough spoon and drop it into the soup. Repeat this process until you used up all the Bisquick dough.
- Simmer uncovered for 10 minutes, and cover with a lid and cook for another 5-10 minutes or until the dumplings are cooked through.
- Add shredded chicken and vegetables into the broth, and season with more salt and pepper if needed. Cook for about 3 minutes or until heated through.
Notes
- Slow cooker option: cook vegetables, broth, and bay leaves on high for 3 hours before adding dumplings and chicken 30 minutes prior to serving.
- To thicken the broth, stir in a mixture of 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 1 tablespoon water while boiling.
- Remove cooked vegetables before dropping dumpling dough into the soup to prevent the dumplings from breaking apart.
- Do not stir the dumplings after adding; let them simmer uncovered then covered on low heat for best texture.
