Ingredients:  
For the Chicken Broth:

1 whole chicken or chicken thighs/breasts (whatever is cheapest)

1 stick butter

Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Dumplings:

2 cups milk

Directions:
Directions:
1. Boil the Chicken

Place chicken in a large stockpot and fill with water nearly to the top.

Bring to a boil over medium to medium-high heat.

Skim off any foam/fat that rises.

Continue boiling until the chicken is very tender and nearly falling off the bone.

2. Debone the Chicken

Remove chicken from the pot.

Let it cool slightly, then remove meat from bones and set aside.

3. Build the Broth

Add the can of chicken broth and the stick of butter to the pot.

If the pot is less than half full, add more water.

Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Bring back to a gentle boil.

4. Make the Dumplings

Mix 4 cups Bisquick with 2 cups milk until combined.

Drop spoonfuls of dumpling dough into the boiling broth.

Reduce heat slightly but keep it at a low boil.

Cook Dumplings

Cook uncovered for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally so they don’t stick.

Then cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook 10 more minutes.

5. Finish the Dish

Add the cooked chicken back into the pot during the last 5 minutes of cooking.

Stir gently and serve hot.

If you had to pick the most highly requested dish mom made it would probably be a tie between potato soup and chicken and dumplings.
