What I Love About Bisquick Chicken And Dumplings
- Velvety flavorful chicken soup.
- Lots of chicken and veggies.
- Light as air, fluffy dumplings!
Bisquick Chicken And Dumplings Ingredients
- Butter: Use either salted or unsalted butter.
- Onion: Use yellow onion.
- Garlic: When sautéed the garlic adds a mellow flavor.
- Celery: Adds texture and a bit of natural saltiness.
- Carrot: Adds a subtle natural sweetness.
- Flour: Thickens the broth.
- Chicken Broth: Use a low-sodium broth so you can control the salt.
- Better Than Bouillon (Chicken Flavored): Fortifies the chicken flavor of the broth.
- Bay Leaves: Adds a very mild flavor that enhances other soup flavors.
- Thyme Leaves: Adds a subtle savory earthy flavor.
- Poultry Seasoning: Adds just the right flavor blend.
- Salt + Black Pepper
- Russet Potato: My favorite type of potato. I love the creaminess of these potatoes and how as the cook, they add a nice thickness to the soup.
- Cooked Chicken: I like the Rotisserie chicken in this recipe.
- Petite Peas: Traditionally in chicken and dumping but you can omit if you’re a pea-hater.
- Heavy Cream: Creates a velvety mouth feel.
Dumplings
- Bisquick Mix
- Milk: Adds richness to the dumplings.
Garnish
- Fresh Parsley or Thyme: Adds an herbaceous freshness.
Tips
- Making the roux: A roux is made by whisking together a fat, typically butter or oil, and flour. The key is to whisk like crazy. Once your mixture is smooth, it’s important to let it cook for a minute to break down the flour a bit. Then, GRADUALLY add in the liquid, once again whisking to keep it smooth.
Storing + Freezing + Make-Ahead
- How Long Can You Keep This In The Fridge? This chicken and dumplings bisquick can be stored in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
- Can You Freeze This? Yes, just be aware that since there is heavy cream included, it might not hold its texture perfectly. Cream sometimes splits when it freezes. The overall dish might be very thick when you reheat it as well. Loosen it up with some extra chicken stock if you need to.
- Make-Ahead Tips: One of the best ways to make this Bisquick chicken and dumplings ahead of time is to make it up to the point where you add the cream. Cut the chicken and store it in the fridge with the broth with the veggies. When you’re ready for it, bring it up to temperature in the slow cooker and carry on with the peas, parsley, and cream.
- Food Safety: The FDA guidelines instruct that this crockpot chicken and dumplings recipe should keep for 3-4 days in the fridge.
