Chicken and Dumplings

In a large pot, place 5 or 6 chicken breasts with the bone in, into water up to 3/4 of the way up the pot.  Add 1 large sweet onion sliced, 3 carrots in pieces, 3 stalks of celery in pieces, 1 tbsp. parsley, 4 cloves garlic chopped and 2 Knorr chicken bullion cubes.  Bring to boil then reduce to simmer on low heat until chicken is tender.

Note: You can leave out the bullion if you are sensitive to MSG and substitute salt and pepper.

Meanwhile using the recipe on the back of the box, make a batch of dumplings using Bisquick.  Remove chicken from the pot and bring back up to boiling and with a tbsp. drop heaping spoonfuls into the hot broth dipping the spoon into the broth first.  When you have all of them in the pot then reduce to med high heat and cover and simmer till done or a fork inserted into the dumplings reveals that they are done.  The broth will automatically thicken because of the Bisquick.  Taste to see if they need more salt and then serve.

Note:  I used to make the dumplings from scratch but it takes so much time and the Bisquick dumplings are just as good.
