Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds chicken breast tenders
1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 turn of the pan
2 tablespoons butter
1 russet potato, peeled and diced
2 medium carrots, peeled and diced or thinly sliced
1 medium onion, chopped
1 rib celery, diced
1 bay leaf, fresh or dried
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning, 1/3 palm full
2 tablespoons flour, a handful
1 quart chicken broth or stock, canned or paper container, preferred brand Kitchen Basics
1 small box biscuit mix(preferred brand Jiffy Mix)
1/2 cup warm water
Handful flat-leaf parsley, chopped
1 cup frozen green peas

Directions

Dice tenders into bite size pieces and set aside. Wash hands.

Place a large pot on stove over medium high heat. Add oil, butter, vegetables and bay leaf and cook 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Season mixture with salt, pepper and poultry seasoning. Add flour to the pan and cook 2 minutes. Stir broth or stock to the pot and bring to a boil. Add chicken to the broth and stir.

Place biscuit mix in a bowl. Combine with 1/2 cup warm water and parsley. Drop tablespoonfuls of prepared mix into the pot, spacing dumplings evenly. Cover pot tightly and reduce heat to medium low. Steam dumplings 8 to 10 minutes. Remove cover and stir chicken and dumplings to thicken sauce a bit. Stir peas into the pan, remove chicken and dumplings from heat and serve in shallow bowls.

Chicken & Dumplings meets Chicken Pot Pie
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

YUMMO! I am more used to the basic chicken & dumplings...just chicken with slick dumplings. This recipe reminded me a lot... of chicken pot pie with all the veggies in it. It is very good, and very easy to make. I doubled the recipe. Turned out very good!!!Read more

Kid's favorite
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is not my mom's chicken and dumplings, but then again I don't have hours to spend making that dish. For the time and... ease, this dish is FANTASTIC! I use more chicken broth, about 1to 2 cups, and two packages of biscuit mix (any biscuit mix works - we don't have Jiffy) cause that is the kids' favorite thing. Chicken is tender, as are vegetables. Leftovers (when there are any) are great the next day!Read more

Finally, a winner!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Thanks Rachel, this recipe is simple and easy to remember. I didn't use the Jiffy Mix though, I used Bisquick mix, because I... like the texture better. Kid and husband approved. Definately, going in the warm and cozy repertoire!Read more

Fantastic Recipe
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I just made this tonight...followed the recipe exactly, just doubled it for dinner guests. I don't know how 'thick' this is... supposed to be, but mine came out very thick, though wonderfully delicious. The jiffy corn muffin mix gives it a sweet flavor, the poultry seasoning makes it taste wonderful. I absolutely loved it and will make it again on cool/cold evenings. Thanks so much for such a great recipe, Rachael :) Read more

Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was wonderful. I like my food with a kick so I added 1/4 tsp of cayenne. I also added some sharp cheddar to my... dumplings. Excellent. Next time I think i will also saute a diced jalpeno. So satisfying.Read more
