Scale
Main Ingredients
- 3-4 cups cooked skinless chicken breasts, diced
- 4 cups gluten-free chicken broth
- 2 cups gluten-free frozen mixed vegetables
- 1 tablespoon dried sage
- 1 tablespoon dried thyme
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Dumpling Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups Bisquick Gluten Free mix
- 2 eggs, whisked
- 2/3 cup milk (for dairy-free option, use cashew, coconut, or almond milk)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (for dairy-free use Smart Balance, Earth Balance butter, or coconut oil)
Thickening Mixture
- 2 cups milk (for dairy-free option, use cashew, coconut, or almond milk)
- 6 tablespoons gluten-free cornstarch
Instructions
- Combine broth and seasonings: In a large pot, add the gluten-free chicken broth, diced cooked chicken, frozen mixed vegetables, dried sage, dried thyme, and onion powder. Bring the mixture to a low boil over medium heat, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Prepare thickening mixture: In a small bowl, mix together 2 cups of milk and 6 tablespoons of gluten-free cornstarch until the cornstarch is fully dissolved with no lumps remaining.
- Add thickener to broth: Pour the milk and cornstarch mixture into the boiling pot with the chicken broth and vegetables. Stir continuously until fully combined and the broth begins to thicken, continuing to boil gently.
- Make dumpling batter: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk the two eggs until blended. Add the 1 1/2 cups Bisquick Gluten Free mix to the eggs and stir to combine. Then stir in the melted butter and 2/3 cup milk until the batter is sticky and well mixed.
- Drop dumplings into broth: Using a large spoon or ice cream scoop, drop heaping spoonfuls of the dumpling batter into the boiling chicken broth mixture. This determines the size of your dumplings and aims for sizable, fluffy results.
- Simmer dumplings: Reduce the heat to low and let the dumplings cook uncovered for 10 minutes. This allows them to set and partially cook through.
- Cover and finish cooking: Cover the pot with a lid and cook for an additional 15 minutes on low heat. This finishes cooking the dumplings thoroughly and allows flavors to deepen.
- Serve and enjoy: Remove the pot from the heat and ladle the gluten-free chicken and dumplings into bowls. Serve hot and enjoy this comforting meal. Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated.
