Original Recipe Yield 6 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 skinless, boneless chicken breast half, cut into cubes
  • 3 skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into cubes
  • 6 cups water
  • 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 3 cubes chicken bouillon
  • 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
  •  
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose baking mix (such as Bisquick®)

Directions

  1. Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Stir in the onions, and cook for a few minutes until they begin to soften. Add the chicken breast and thigh meat; cook and stir until the chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 10 minutes. Pour in the water and cream of chicken soup; season with chicken bouillon and poultry seasoning. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.
  2. Meanwhile, pour the milk into a mixing bowl, and stir in the baking mix until a dough forms. Once the soup is simmering, drop the dumpling mix in by the spoonful. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the dumplings are no longer doughy in the center, about 20 minutes. Turn the dumplings over after 10 minutes to ensure they cook evenly.
