  • 1 cup Heavy cream or milk - Any dairy or dairy-free option
  • 2 medium Carrots, diced
  • 2 stalks Celery, diced
  • 1 medium Onion, diced
  • 3 cloves Garlic, minced - Add last to avoid burning
  • 3 tablespoons Butter

For the Bisquick Dumplings
  • 2 cups Bisquick baking mix - Regular or gluten-free
  • ⅔ cup Milk - Dairy or nondairy
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley - Chopped

Equipment

  • 1 Wooden spoon (For stirring broth and sautéing)
  • 1 Sharp knife (For chopping vegetables)
  • 1 Cutting board
  • Measuring tools Measuring cups/spoons

Method
 

  1. Cook chicken in a large pot until no longer pink (6–8 minutes per side). Remove, cool slightly, and shred into rustic pieces.
  2. In the same pot, melt butter. Add carrots, celery, and onion. Cook 5 minutes until softened. Add garlic for the last minute.
  3. Pour in broth and cream. Season with salt, pepper, and thyme. Return shredded chicken. Simmer gently for 10 minutes.
  4. Stir Bisquick, milk, and parsley until just combined (lumpy is ideal). Drop spoonfuls of batter onto the simmering broth.
  5. Cover tightly. Do not lift the lid for 10 minutes. Dumplings should be fluffy, dry on top, and springy.
