ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 ¹⁄₂ lbs boneless skinless chicken breast halves, cubed
16 baby carrots, cut into circles
3 stalks celery, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
¹⁄₄ cup frozen peas
¹⁄₂ teaspoon black pepper
¹⁄₈ teaspoon salt
2 ¹⁄₂ cups water (approx)
2 tablespoons flour
2 cups Bisquick baking mix
²⁄₃ cup milk
¹⁄₂ tablespoon dried parsley

directions

In large, deep sautee pan (will need a lid) sautee the cubed chicken, black pepper and salt until the chicken is just slightly browned.
Add carrots and celery, and let cook for about five minutes.
Add 2 1/2 cups of water, stir together. Cover and let simmer for approx 20 minutes, or until carrots are just tender.
Add 2 tbsp flour and whisk in, and then stir in with spoon. This will thicken the gravy. If too thick, slowly add more water as the dumplings will absorb quite a bit of liquid.
Add frozen peas. Let simmer for a few minutes.
In bowl, mix together Bisquick, milk and parsley. Dough will be very thick.
Using a regular tablespoon, add scoops of Bisquick mixture on top of the cooking stew mixture.
Simmer on low for ten minutes (uncovered).
Cover and simmer for ten more minutes.
Scoop out dumplings and put them in a bowl so they won't over cook. Serve chicken stew with dumplings on the side, best if you put some of the gravy overtop of the dumplings for eating.

I am a born and raised Central Jersey girl, which basically means no big hair or accent. I've enjoyed cooking since I was a kid, slowly learning through my father and both of my grandmothers. As I became a teen I cooked frequently for my parents. I am now happily married to a wonderful, helpful husband and mother to a beautiful baby girl (6 months old as of 7/09). I look forward to having another child in the coming years and cooking for my family as they grow. I tend to make a lot of classic dishes, but am trying to open up to new things, as well as healthier meals.
