FARMHOUSE CHICKEN AND BISQUICK DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper; dredge in flour. Place the chicken in the pot, skin-side down, and cook for 7-8 minutes. Turn the chicken over and continue cooking for about 20 more minutes, or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F Smaller chicken pieces may be done sooner, while larger breasts may require extra time. Remove chicken to a cutting board.
• When the chicken is cool enough to handle, pick the meat off of the bones (discard the skin and bones).
• Wipe out the pot that you used for the chicken and then whisk together the soups and milk. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat and whisk to a smooth consistency. Stir in the chicken, reduce heat to medium, and simmer for about 10 minutes. Stir in the peas and carrots and cook for 2 minutes to heat through. Add thyme and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• In a medium bowl, stir together baking mix and milk. Drop the dough by tablespoonfuls into the simmering broth; do NOT stir the dumplings and do not let your simmer go too fast (or the dumplings will fall apart). Cook the dumplings, uncovered, over medium-low heat for 10 minutes. Then cover the pot with a lid and continue cooking the dumplings for about 10 more minutes (or until firm to the touch and cooked through). Stay at a gentle simmer - do not let the pot come to a full boil.
• Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley and serve!
