Isn't that all dumplings?
Hers were light and fluffy in the middle.
I tend to avoid them anymore because of the texture of wet dough. Ick.
Christy's mom makes the best chicken and dumplings in the universe. She uses....Bisquick, the recipe on the box.

Me too (my grandma's). I got the dumplings, but never got the chicken/gravy part right.
That's the one my Gammo used too. I think, the broth needs to be at an active boil to cook them quickly.

I too use the Bisquick recipe. 10 minutes covered at a simmer, 10 (I go a bit longer) uncovered to "dry out".
Now I want chicky and dumplings.
I have a strip steak in the fridge marinating but I just ate a plate of cheese and crackers, so we'll see what happens....

My late husband loved chicken and dumplings. I got pretty good at making them, but that was a long time ago. Yes Bisquick.
I haven't made them since he passed. Wasn't my thing but it made him happy.

I cheated last night, I just used four chicken breasts, cream of celery and cream of chick with herbs, chicken broth, frozen peas & carrots. For the dumplings I got refrigerated Grands biscuits, flattened them, tore pieces off and dumped them on top of the chicken mixture, turned the crockpot to high and let it cook for another hour. I know...My mother is turning over in her grave right now.

So..... maybe a Starboard wine would be right?
That tends to cause a list.
That's one of my favorite meals
