• Cooking Time: 30min
• Servings: 6-10
• Preparation Time: 1hr
• 1 Chicken, stewed, skinned & boned
• 4c chicken stock (from cooking the chicken; if you're short, add milk to make at least 4c liquid)
• 1 Carrot, diced
• 1 Celery, diced
• 1sm Onion, diced
• 1 clove Garlic, minced
• 1 stick Butter, halved
• Salt & Pepper
• 1/2c Flour
• 3c Bisquick
• 1c Buttermilk

1. * Saute veggies and garlic, seasoned w/salt & pepper, in 1/2 stick butter in a Dutch oven or other large, heavy pot til tender, 7-10min; remove from pan drippings and set aside w/your shredded chicken.
2. * Add other 1/2 of butter to pot, reduce heat and add flour; whisk and cook to form a thick paste, approx 3-4min. BE CAREFUL NOT TO SCORCH, but you want to cook it some.
3. * While whisking, slowly pour in a slow, small stream approx 2c of stock, whisking while it incorporates and thickens.
4. * Continue adding stock and whisking to incorporate til you've used it all and you have a slightly thick chicken "sauce" or "gravy".
5. * Allow sauce to come to a low boil, and while this is cooking, mix together Bisquick and buttermilk to form a stiff dough.
6. * Once sauce is at a constant bubbling simmer, begin dropping dough in by the spoonful; as you add new dropfuls, push them under those already at the surface.
7. * Cook at a simmer, stirring periodically, 15min til dumplings are cooked thru.
8. * Add chicken and veggies back to pot, and cook another 5-10min to heat thru.

BY request! Also- you can sub a couple of canned cream o chicken soup in place of making the sauce yourself...
