Total Time: 1 hr Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 45 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breast halves, cubed
• 16 baby carrots, cut into circles
• 3 stalks celery, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
• 1/4 cup frozen peas
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 2 1/2 cups water (approx)
• 2 tablespoons flour
• 2 cups bisquick baking mix
• 2/3 cup milk
• 1/2 tablespoon dried parsley

Recipe

• 1 in large, deep sautee pan (will need a lid) sautee the cubed chicken, black pepper and salt until the chicken is just slightly browned.
• 2 add carrots and celery, and let cook for about five minutes.
• 3 add 2 1/2 cups of water, stir together. cover and let simmer for approx 20 minutes, or until carrots are just tender.
• 4 add 2 tbsp flour and whisk in, and then stir in with spoon. this will thicken the gravy. if too thick, slowly add more water as the dumplings will absorb quite a bit of liquid.
• 5 add frozen peas. let simmer for a few minutes.
• 6 in bowl, mix together bisquick, milk and parsley. dough will be very thick.
• 7 using a regular tablespoon, add scoops of bisquick mixture on top of the cooking stew mixture.
• 8 simmer on low for ten minutes (uncovered).
• 9 cover and simmer for ten more minutes.
• 10 scoop out dumplings and put them in a bowl so they won't over cook. serve chicken stew with dumplings on the side, best if you put some of the gravy overtop of the dumplings for eating.
