Shortcut Chicken N Dumplings Food

SHORTCUT CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• Remove chicken meat and cut into small pieces or shred.
• In a large pot, heat the chicken broth to boiling and add the chicken meat.
• Meanwhile mix the Bisquick with the milk (the dough will be wet and sticky).
• Add large spoonfuls of dough to the boiling soup. I usually make about nine dumplings and keep them on the surface of the soup and along perimeter of the pot. If they are in the middle, they don't seem to cook properly.
• Cook uncovered for 10 minutes, turning heat to low after a couple minutes.
• Cook covered another 10 minutes on low.

SHORTCUT FRIED CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Pulse together the flour, baking powder, sugar and 1 tablespoon salt in a food processor. Add the butter and pulse until pea-sized pieces. Add the buttermilk and pulse a couple of times until the dough just comes together but is not fully incorporated. Transfer to a bowl, cover and refrigerate while you make the skillet sauce.
• Whisk the chicken broth and mashed potatoes together in a large cast iron skillet and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Stir in the fried chicken and peas and carrots and top evenly with heaping tablespoons of dough.
• Transfer to the oven and bake until golden brown and bubbly, 40 to 45 minutes. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

SHORTCUT CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• First, pick all of the usable meat off of the rotisserie chicken. You could use leftover chicken or anything else you have as well to make this a "round 2 recipe". Put the chicken in a bowl to the side.
• Chop your tortillas into strips approximately 1 inch wide. You can use any size tortillas for this, just depending on if you want more or less dumpling in your chicken and dumplings.
• Ok, in a large stew pot over medium heat, dump your broth, cream of chicken, and cream of mushroom soups, and whisk all together. I usually add about a can or two or water as well, just fill the empty cans of cream soup. You'll be adding a thickener later so keep this in mind, depending on how thick you like your liquid to be.
• In a mug or bowl, microwave and melt your stick of butter, and then add your flour to make a rue base. You will want to add flour until there is a paste type consistency. Once the rue is mixed together, add to your heating stew pot, and whisk in until blended.
• Now that you have all of your liquid base heating, wait until simmering and add your chicken and tortilla strips. You can stir more than average dumplings as the tortilla strips hold up well and don't break easily.
• Let all this simmer together until your dumplings are tender and your liquid thickens a little, making sure to give your flour from the rue time to cook off that flour flavor. If needed, make more rue as described in step 4, and add more rue to thicken your liquid some.
