Nancy Andrettis Creamy Chicken And Dumplings Recipes

Steps:

• Heat milk, peas, carrots, chicken and soup to boiling.
• Mix biscuit mix and milk to make a soft dough.
• Drop,gently, by 8 spoonfuls on top of soup.
• Cook, uncovered, on low for 10 minutes.
• Cover and cook 10 minutes more.

Steps:

• Place chicken and soups in a crock pot. Start at high for one hour then stir and reduce heat to low and cook all day or until the meat is very tender.
• When chicken is done carefully remove all bones as they tend to fall apart with cooking. Discard skins. Pull the chicken apart into chunks before serving.
• For dumplings, combine 1 1/2 cups flour, baking powder and 1/4 tsp salt in mixing bowl.
• Cut in shortening until mixture resembles cornmeal.
• Stir in milk until just blended.
• Place about 1/2 inch water in saucepan with wire rack that comes 2 to 3 inches above water line. Cover rack with lightly oiled waxed paper, oiled side up.
• With water gently simmering, drop dumplings by tablespoon onto waxed paper, leaving room in between for expansion. (Use teaspoons to create smaller dumplings and cook in two batches).
• Steam 7-8 minutes, uncovered, then cover with a rounded lid right on top of the rack and steam 6-7 minutes longer. (smaller dumplings cook in shorter time, check to see if done inside, but do not overcook).
• Serve dumplings on top of bowls of steaming chicken.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk and eggs. In a separate bowl, sift together the baking powder, 1 1/2 cups of the flour and 1 teaspoon of the salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix until combined, being careful not to overmix. Set the dumpling batter aside.
• In a medium pot, combine the stock, half-and-half, pepper, thyme, bay leaf and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and bring to a boil. In a small dish, whisk the remaining 2 tablespoons flour with 1/4 cup water. Whisk the flour mixture into the chicken stock mixture. Add the chicken and mixed vegetables and return to a boil. Using a tablespoon or a small ice cream scoop, drop scoops of the dumpling batter into the boiling liquid. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Cover and cook an additional 10 minutes. Garnish each serving with fresh parsley.

Steps:

• For the soup: Place the chicken pieces and the backbones in a large pot and cover with 16 cups water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a low simmer and poach the chicken until cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Use tongs to remove the chicken pieces and set aside to cool; discard the backbones. Once the chicken cools enough to handle, pull the meat from the bones, shred and roughly chop; set aside. Strain the chicken broth and keep warm.
• In a medium pot, melt the butter over medium heat, and stir in the carrots, garlic, celery, leeks, onions and poultry seasoning. Cook the vegetables until they begin to soften, 8 to 10 minutes, then stir in the flour.
• Add the reserved chicken broth, bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until the soup thickens slightly and vegetables soften, about 25 minutes. Stir in the shredded chicken and bring the soup back to a low simmer.
• For the dumplings: In a medium bowl, add the flour. Use two butter knives to cut in the milk, butter, baking powder, salt and eggs. Add additional milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, if necessary. The dough should be moist but not too wet.
• Pull the dough into 1/4-cup pieces and place directly in the simmering soup; cover and cook for 10 to 12 minutes. Sprinkle with the chopped parsley and serve.

Steps:

• Spray a frying pan with cooking spray then heat on medium. Add the chicken & sprinkle with salt & pepper. Cook until the chicken is cooked through, roughly 5-7 minutes.
• Meanwhile, pour the water into a large pot then add the bouillon, butter & spices. Add in the cooked chicken & 3 tbsp of the can milk to the broth then simmer over medium-low heat.
• Mix the Bisquick, rest of the can milk, & spices together until it forms a sticky dough. (You may need to add a 1 or 2 tbsp of water to make it the right consistency).
• Turn the heat up slightly then using a small spoon drop small amounts of dough into the soup to form dumplings. Continue to drop in dough, stirring occasionally, until it is all gone.
• Turn the heat back done to low & simmer for 25-30 minutes or until the dumplings are cooked through.

Steps:

• Place flour in a plastic bag. Add chicken pieces and shake until coated. In large saucepan cook chicken, celery, carrot and onion in hot margarine for 2-3 minutes or until chicken is brown.
• Stir in broth, condensed soup and pepper. Bring to boiling, reduce heat. Simmer covered about 20 minutes or until chicken and vegetables are tender.
• Meanwhile separate biscuits. Cut each biscuit into quarters. Stir peas into chicken mixture: return to boiling. Place biscuit pieces on top of chicken mixture. Simmer, covered over medium-low heat 10-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center of biscuit comes out clean. Serve in bowls.
