Chicken-filled Dumplings

"Comfort food alert!! I have had this recipe for over 30 years (from Pillsbury Family Cookbook 1971). Great way to use up extra cooked chicken (or try it with turkey, too)."

  1. I've made this recipe several times, trying different things each time. I cook 1 lb chicken breast and 1 pkg fresh mushrooms, onion flakes, parsley, salt and pepper (omitted the celery). I make Bisquick biscuit recipe instead of refrigerated biscuits. Came out awesome .. dumplings come out much lighter and fluffier using Bisquick. I also use 1 can cream of chicken soup and 2 cans of cream of mushroom soup (for more gravy and a less "chickeny" taste). If I end up with extra chicken after making all the dumplings, I just dumped in the the gravy. I think I'll stop tweaking this recipe now .. it's perfect. I also made this last time in my electric skillet, which gives you more room for more dumplings.

Can't believe I've been a member here for 18 years! It's changed a lot since the old RecipeZaar days and maybe or maybe not for the better. It used to be a community and now it's just a tool. Sad, but life goes on. I have been in Kentucky for 12 years now and enjoy the country lifestyle, along with master gardening. Recipes I've found here since Day One are still in my rotation. Don't entertain that much anymore, so finding new and exciting foods is no longer center stage. Just glad to have so many good recipes to fall back on because eating out is expensive and sometimes too far to drive.
