INGREDIENTS

  • 3 slices bacon
  • 3 large potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - diced
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 (15.25 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained and rinsed
  • 3 cups half-and-half
  • 1 1/2 cups biscuit mix
  • 1 cup milk

DIRECTIONS

  1. Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble and set aside; reserve bacon drippings in skillet.
  2. Add potatoes, onion and chicken to bacon drippings and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Pour in chicken broth; season with poultry seasoning, salt and pepper. Stir in corn, and simmer all together for 15 minutes.
  3. Pour in half-and-half and bring to a boil; add crumbled bacon. In a medium bowl, combine biscuit mix with milk and mix well (dough should be thick). Drop tablespoon sizes of dough into boiling mixture; reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes uncovered, then another 10 minutes covered. (Note: Do not stir while simmering, or dumplings will break apart). Serve hot.

I left out the canned corn and used 2C lowfat milk rather than 3C half and half. Delicious! I also used a small can (one of those 4-packs) of biscuit dough, each cut into quarters, instead of the biscuit mix. To thicken the soup, I added 1T cornstarch mixed with 2T water. A warm, hearty meal.

It's good, but several changes needed: The dumplings need more mix to cause the batter to be the proper thickness called for in the recipe. I only used one potato and left out the corn. As a southern-bred person, add anything else besides the chicken and dumplings and we called it stew!

This was very good. I added garlic, carrot, celery and frozen corn instead of canned. Next time I make I will double the bacon. I used Bisquick so I had to change the measurments in regard to the mix/milk amounts.
