The best dumplings are made with baking mix! I've never written down a recipe before so please use your own judgment on the thickening. My husband's mother always did the milk and flour balls in the chicken, he liked mine much better and always asks me to make it. He also loves it when I add more water and rice!
Ingredients
- 6 skinless , boneless chicken breast halves
- 6 cups water
- 1 tablespoon butter
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups all-purpose baking mix
- 0.67 cups milk
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups cold water
Instructions
-
1
In a large pot over medium heat, simmer chicken in 6 cups water until no longer pink. Remove chicken, cool and shred.
-
2
Return shredded chicken to pot and stir in butter, salt and pepper. Cook until chicken reaches desired tenderness, 15 to 60 minutes.
-
3
In a bowl, stir together baking mix and milk until smooth. In a separate bowl, stir together flour and 1/2 cup cold water until smooth. Stir flour mixture into soup; bring soup to a rolling boil.

4
Drop baking mix mixture by tablespoonfuls into the boiling water, neatly around the chicken. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook, uncovered, 10 minutes. Then cover and cook 10 minutes more. (Sneak a spatula under the dumplings to prevent chicken from sticking to the bottom of the pot.) Serve hot.

Chili Lime Vinaigrette Dressing
This chili-lime vinaigrette is great with green salads topped with broiled salmon or chicken. It also makes a wonderful marinade for meat and tofu. If you don't want it as spicy, you can cut back on the red pepper flakes, but we love it just the way it is.
Saint Patrick's Soup
This soup is the perfect way to transform the last of that corned beef into something different, yet still the same. I purposely set some aside just to make this soup. Feel free to sub beef broth for the vegetable broth but just know it will alter the color of the finished soup tremendously making it not as appealing to the eyes.
Fruit Bake
The sweetness of fruit combines with the tartness of rhubarb, delivering a tasty end to a meal or an anytime snack. Serve hot or cold with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
