2 c. Bisquick
3/4 c. milk
1 tsp. poultry seasoning
1 tsp. instant dried onion
1 tsp. parsley flakes
DUMPLINGS: Mix thoroughly with fork. Drop by spoonfuls onto boiling stew. Cook uncovered 10 minutes, then cover and cook for 10 minutes longer - liquid should just bubble gently
Brown chicken slowly in oil. Place in kettle with just enough boiling water to cover. Add rest of ingredients EXCEPT Dumplings. Boil 5 minutes. Turn down heat and simmer until tender (2 to 3 hours).
MAKE DUMPLINGS and drop on simmering stew. Remove dumplings and chicken to a platter (keep hot while making gravy).
GRAVY: Leave chicken broth (about 4 cups) in kettle over low heat. Mix 1/2 cup Bisquick and 1 cup milk to a smooth paste. Stir into broth. Cook until thickened (about 15 minutes), stirring occasionally. Season to taste. Pour gravy over chicken and dumplings and serve. Makes 8 servings. This is delicious. Serve with fresh vegetable tray and dessert.
