For an even richer flavor, use chicken broth instead of water. Feel free to add vegetables like carrots, celery, or onions to the broth for added depth of flavor. Add them at the same time as the butter. If the soup becomes too thick, add a little more water or chicken broth to reach your desired consistency. If it's too thin, simmer uncovered for a few minutes longer to allow some of the liquid to evaporate. To prevent the dumplings from sticking to the bottom of the pot, gently lift them with a spatula a few times during the cooking process. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.

01 Step
Recipe View In a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat, gently simmer the chicken breasts in 6 cups of water until cooked through and no longer pink. This should take approximately 20-25 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside to cool slightly.
02 Step
Recipe View Once the chicken is cool enough to handle, shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the pot with the broth. Stir in the butter, salt, and pepper to taste. Allow the chicken to simmer gently, infusing the broth with flavor, for 15-60 minutes. The longer it simmers, the richer the flavor will become.
03 Step
Recipe View While the chicken simmers, prepare the dumpling batter. In a medium bowl, whisk together the baking mix and milk until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and cold water until smooth. This slurry will help thicken the soup.
04 Step
Recipe View Stir the flour slurry into the simmering chicken broth. Bring the soup to a rolling boil, stirring constantly to prevent sticking. Reduce the heat slightly to maintain a vigorous simmer.
05 Step
Recipe View Drop spoonfuls of the baking mix dumpling batter into the boiling broth, spacing them evenly around the pot. Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer, cover the pot, and cook for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, remove the lid and continue to simmer for another 10 minutes, or until the dumplings are cooked through and fluffy. A skewer inserted into a dumpling should come out clean.
06 Step
Recipe View Serve hot, ladling the chicken and dumplings into bowls. Garnish with fresh parsley or thyme, if desired.

Jan 21, 2023The dumplings were a little too doughy for my liking. Next time, I'll try adding a bit more milk to the baking mix batter.
