Quick and Easy Chicken and Dumplings

Got this from a TOH cookbook (Fast Fixes with Mixes, or something like that). This is easy, tastes like it cooked all day, and is really good with leftover turkey, too. Even my 5yo dd LOVES the dumplings.

• 2  cups biscuit mix

1. In a 5 quart Dutch oven, combine chicken stock, vegetables, and seasonings; bring to a boil.
