Chicken Dumplings Pot Pie Recipe 455

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. Stir Dumpling Mix and 1/2 cup milk in small bowl until soft dough forms. Set aside.
• Melt margarine in 10-inch skillet over high heat. Add chicken; cook about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until outside turns white. Stir in water, 1/2 cup milk, Gravy Mix, frozen vegetables and frozen potatoes. Heat to boiling, stirring occasionally. Pour into ungreased 2-quart casserole. Drop dumpling dough by spoonfuls onto chicken mixture; sprinkle with parsley flakes.
• Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until golden brown. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Combine the chicken, peas and carrots, 1 can of the chicken gravy, salt, pepper, and 1 tsp of the thyme and mix until incorporated. Divide the mixture evenly among 6 cups of a 12-cup muffin pan. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and freeze overnight, or until you're ready to bake the muffins. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Coat a 6-cup Texas-size muffin pan with cooking spray. Mix together the all-purpose baking mix, buttermilk, milk, and remaining thyme in a medium-size bowl until smooth. Fill each muffin pan cup approximately 1/3 of the way full with the dumpling dough. Remove the chicken filling from the freezer and run the bottom side of the muffin pan under warm water for 30 seconds, just to loosen the filling from the pan. Using a fork, pop the frozen fillings out and place one in the center of each dough cup. Divide the remaining dough over the top of each chicken filling, making sure the top layer of dough covers the filling entirely and connects to the bottom layer of dough. Bake for 45 minutes. While the muffins are baking, heat the remaining can of chicken gravy and serve it with the finished muffins.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• Place chicken in baking dish, fill with enough water to cover chicken. Bake for 45 minutes. Let chicken cool. Using two forks, shred chicken. Set aside.
• Place mixed veggies on a cookie sheet and broil for 5-7 minutes. Stirring halfway through to avoid burning the veggies.
• Meantime, in a saucepan over low to medium heat, pour in the gravy and add the chicken. Allow chicken to simmer in the gravy and absorb the flavor while veggies are cooking.
• Once veggies are done, add to the chicken and gravy over low heat.
• Roll dough out thin into 8 inch discs.
• Repeat 12 times.
• Place the dough discs into each section of two large coated 6 cupcake pans. The dough will overlap, you will need it.
• Fill each cup with the chicken gravy mixture.
• Fold the flaps over the top of the chicken mixture, brushing the egg wash onto the dough flaps to "glue" the dumpling closed.
• Repeat for all 12 dumplings.
• Lower oven to 350°F.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes.
• Let sit for 10 minutes.
• Extract dumplings and serve.

Steps:

• In a large pot combine chicken, carrots, onion, celery, peppercorns, and bay leaf. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 1 to 1 1/2 hours. When meat is falling off the bone, remove the chicken from the pot and set aside to cool. Strain and reserve to remove vegetables and reserve stock. When chicken is cool, remove all meat from the bones and shred.
• In a large heavy pot, heat oil over medium high heat. Stir in onion and cook for 1 minute. Stir in carrots, celery and potatoes and toss to coat. Cook vegetables for 3 minutes. Stir in flour and cook for 2 minutes. Add reserved stock and stir until it thickens. Add an additional cup of water if more liquid is needed. Simmer for 30 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Stir in chicken and parsley and season with salt and pepper.
• For the dumplings: In a large bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder and salt. Using a pastry blender, two knives or your fingertips cut the butter into the flour. Stir in the milk and parsley. Drop by the spoonful into the simmering stew. Simmer for 8 minutes or until firm.
