My recipe for chicken and dumplings isn't old fashioned - but the flavor is! Table-ready in 30 minutes.

Ingredients:

3 cups chunked boneless skinless rotisserie-cooked chicken

1/2 cup unsalted butter

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

3 (14 1/2 ounce) cans chicken broth or 5 1/4 cups chicken broth

1 dash black pepper

1 dash parsley flakes or 1 dash dried chives

1 dash poultry seasoning

1 pinch nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon snipped fresh rosemary (optional)

1 1/8 cups bisquick

1/3 cup milk

1 dash parsley flakes or 1 dash dried chives

1 dash ground black pepper

minced fresh parsley or dehydrated parsley flakes

Directions:

1. ONE: Chop deboned skinless chicken into bite-sized pieces; set aside.
2. TWO: Melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add 1/2 cup all-purpose flour and cook until bubbly and light golden, stirring often for 2 minutes. Stir in the chicken broth and dry seasonings. Bring mixture to boiling then reduce heat to medium. Add chunked or diced chicken; stir.
3. THREE: Combine the dumpling dough ingredients, stirring only until soft dough forms (do not overmix). Drop dough quickly by teaspoons in a single layer over surface of bubbling gravy on one half of large saucepan (do not roll or press dough, or submerge beneath the gravy). Simmer mixture UNCOVERED for 10 minutes - then COVER and reduce heat to medium-low - and simmer for 10 additional minutes. Uncover and remove from heat. Let cool slightly (gravy will thicken as it stands).
4. FOUR: Ladle into individual bowls without disturbing dumplings. Garnish with fresh minced parsley leaves if desired. Serve and enjoy!
