Easy Chicken and Dumplings Ingredients

Here’s all you need to make this easy chicken and dumplings recipe: chicken breasts, bouillon cubes, Bisquick, milk, butter, eggs, celery, salt and pepper.

How To Make Chicken And Dumplings (Step by Step)

Begin by placing chicken breasts and bouillon cubes in a large pot and cover with 2 quarts of water. I’m using bone-in, skin-on breasts here. But I’ve also used boneless/skinless breasts before too and they work just fine. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium and simmer for 20-25 mins until chicken is done. If you’re using the boneless/skinless breasts, they’ll probably be done much quicker, like after 10-15 mins.

How to Boil Eggs

Meanwhile, boil the eggs. I know there’s tons of different theories on how to boil an egg, but here’s what works best for me: I put the eggs in the bottom of a small pot, cover with water, bring to a boil and boil for 10 mins. After exactly 10 mins, I remove immediately from the heat, pour out the hot water and cover the eggs with cold water to stop the cooking. This keeps the yolk from turning green.

Bisquick Dumplings Recipe

When the chicken is almost done, mix together the Bisquick and milk until a soft dough forms.

When the chicken is done, remove from the pot and set aside to cool. Drop spoonfuls of the Bisquick dumplings into the chicken stock.

Simmer the Bisquick dumplings over low heat, covered, for 10 mins, then uncovered for an additional 10 mins.

Meanwhile, dice 2-4 stalks of celery (depending on how much you like! I usually do 2.

Now, you could use any vegetable you want here. You could add in onions, bell peppers, carrots, even frozen veggies from a bag. Any mixture of vegetables you like. You want to end up with about 1/2 to 1 cup of vegetables when you put them all together. As soon as your chicken is cool enough, cut or shred into bite-sized pieces.

Melt 2 tbsp of butter over medium heat. When foamy, add in celery/vegetables and saute for 3-5 mins.

Add in chopped chicken and season well with salt and pepper. Stir to combine. By this point, the Bisquick dumplings should be done. Add the chicken and celery to the soup and dumplings. Remove the yolk from boiled eggs, chop up the whites and add them to the soup. Stir all to combine.
