Cooked Chicken for Dumplings

Submitted by Jenny Frenny

"This is the chicken and broth I use to make chicken and dumplings. I make the dumplings on the Bisquick box. I like to divide the chicken and broth into two pots so I can double the recipe for dumplings. Adding the Bisquick dumplings thickens up the broth and makes is creamy."

The flavor was great! I doubled the recipe and saved half of the broth and chicken from step 5 to use later. Thanks for a good and simple recipe!
