It's like in redit.... On some of the posts looking for an answer, if an answer is better than the others you can upvote it. If it gets enough upvotes it should rise to the top, so when others open the thread they'll see the question and then the upvotes answer.

Redit also allows you to downvote, but this is a family site 😂😂

Ok @Songbird76 had a quick minute to type it up

Southern Chicken 'n Dumplings

You can basically cook the chicken anyway you normally do, cool then shred. Or, you can follow these instructions. I used two big chicken ******* and did them in the instant pot with 1 cup water and 1 cup chicken stock. It is a quicker version. You can do the chicken in a pressure cooker too.

Long version:

4 lb. chicken, whole fresh
6-8 cups water
4 cups unsalted chicken stock
1/2 Tablespoon black peppercorns
2 celery stalks, chopped
2 carrots, cut into 1 inch pieces
2 bay leaves
1 onion, peeled and cut into wedges
1/2 bunch flat-leaf parsley

Put chicken in pot with the vegetables and spices. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer, uncovered for 1 hour. Skim off foam. Remove from heat. Let stand until cool enough to shred.

Dumplings

Combine 2 cups flour, 4 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt (can leave salt out if on low sodium diet).
Whisk together. Cut in 3-4 Tablespoons butter to resemble coarse meal. Add 1 cup milk or buttermilk. Mix to moisten. Then, into the leftover stock from the chicken (you can add more boxed chicken stock if needed), drop spoonfuls of the dough in stock. Cover. Simmer for 10 mts. Then, stick a knife into a dumpling to make sure it is cooked.

Mix in shredded chicken to dumplings and gently stir. Heat until chicken is warmed. Serve. Enjoy!

OK, now it's time for the lazy southern single mans recipe for chicken and dumplings. (not southern flat dumplings but fluffy dumplings)

Ingredients:

3/4 lb. of either chicken breast or two cans of chicken (like canned tuna but bigger)
2 cans of Progressive Chicken Pot Pie soup.
1 cup of assorted frozen Veggies. (carrots, peas, string beans, corn, lima beans) or your favorites
1 cup of Bisquick
1/3 cup of milk

Brown raw chicken or heat up canned chicken in the pot. Once they have browned nicely add the two cans of soup.
While that is coming to a boil you can mix up the Bisquick and milk with a fork to a sticky mixture of dough.

When it gets close to a boil add the frozen Veggies and mix up well then bring back to a boil as you add teaspoons full of dumpling dough to the boiling mixture (should come out to about nine different dumplings). Once the dough has been added then reduce the temperature to simmer and cook uncovered for 10 minutes and then another 10 minutes covered. At that time serve. All done in less then 30 minutes.

Purists I'm sure will find my single mans shortcuts to be nearly blasphemous, but you have to remember is the only one I have to please is myself, and this is a quick way to have one of my favorite. I created this recipe because I have no talent for making gravy in quantity. The soup takes care of that. I sometimes add a can of diced potatoes if the mood strikes me. 🙂

For me that makes for three meals. It's also freezable. Three meals with three good sized Dumplings for each one.
