            -< LOOKING FOR AN EASY CHICKEN N' DUMPLING RECIPE >-
    
    JAYNE,
    
       COULD YOU LOOK IN YOUR BISQUICK COOKBOOK FOR A RECIPE FOR CHICKEN
    N' DUMPLING?? I'VE BEEN SEARCHING FOR A LONG TIME TO FIND AN EASY
    AND GOOD RECIPE.
    
    THANKS,
    CLAIRE DEMAR 
512.9Chicken 'n Dumplings, as requestedFDCV13::LAHANASTue Jul 12 1988 09:2972
    Claire:
    Here you go, courtesy of the General Mills / "Bisquick" people.
    My book had two versions - one the conventional method, and the
    other a quick microwave version.  If you want easy, I imagine the
    microwave one would be the better choice.
    
    CHICKEN & DUMPLINGS
    -------------------
    2/3 cup Bisquick                          1-1/4 cups water
    1 tsp. salt                               3 medium carrots, sliced
    1/4 tsp. pepper                           1 medium onion, sliced
    2-1/2 to 3-1/2 lb. broiler-fryer          Dumplings, Parsley Dumplings,
      chicken, cut-up                           or Sour Cream & Chive
    1 can (10-3/4 oz.) condensed cream          Dumplings (recipes follow)
      of chicken soup
    
    Mix Bisquick, salt and pepper; coat chicken.  Heat oil in Dutch
    oven.  Cook chicken in oil until brown on all sides.  Remove chicken;
    drain fat from Dutch oven.  Mix soup, water, carrots, and onion
    in Dutch oven.  Place chicken, skin sides up, on soup mixture. 
    Cover and heat to boiling; reduce heat.  Simmer 40 minutes.  Prepare
    dumplings.  6 servings.
    
       DUMPLINGS
       ---------
       Mix 2 cups Bisquick and 2/3 cup milk until soft dough forms.
       Drop dough by spoonfuls onto boiling mixture; reduce heat.
       Simmer uncovered 10 minutes; cover and simmer 10 minutes more.
       Makes 10-12 dumplings.
       
       Note: mixture should be boiling when dumplings are dropped; the
       steam helps them to rise.  Drop dough onto chicken or vegetables,
       not into liquid, to avoid absorption of moisture.
    
       PARSLEY DUMPLINGS:  Mix in 1 tsp. parsley flakes with the Bisquick.
    
       SOUR CREAM & CHIVE DUMPLINGS:  Substitute 1/3 cup dairy sour
       cream for 1/3 cup of the milk.  Mix in 3 tbsp. freeze-dried chives
       with the Bisquick.
    
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------
    MICROWAVE CHICKEN & DUMPLINGS
    
    2-1/2 to 3-1/2 pound broiler fryer       3/4 cup water
      chicken, cut-up                        3 medium carrots, chopped
    1/2 tsp. salt                            1 medium onion, chopped
    1/4 tsp. pepper                          Dumplings (ingredients
    1 can (10-3/4 oz.) condensed cream          are same as above recipe)
      of chicken soup
    
    Arrange chicken pieces, skin sides up, in 3-quart microwavable
    casserole with thickest parts toward edge; sprinkle with salt and
    pepper.  Cover with waxed paper and microwave on high (100%) 10
    minutes.  Remove chicken pieces; drain fat and liquid from casserole.
    
    Mix soup, water, carrots, and onion in casserole; arrange chicken
    pieces, skin sides up, on soup mixture.  Cover tightly and microwave
    until carrots are crisp-tender, 18-20 minutes. Prepare Dumplings.
    Drop by 10 spoonfuls onto hot mixture around edge of casserole.
    Sprinkle with snipped parsley, snipped chives, paprika or dried
    dill weed if desired. Cover tightly and microwave 3 minutes; rotate
    casserole 1/2 turn.  Microwave until dumplings are no longer doughy,
    1-1/2 to 2-1/2 minutes.  Makes 6 servings.
    
    
    I hope this works out for you Claire.   The picture in the cookbook
    looks so good that it's making me hungry just looking at it!
    
    Enjoy!

    Can someone tell me where I can get these Bisquick cookbooks?
    
    A friend made some kiwi and strawberry tart this past weekend that
    was wonderful using the Bisquick cookbooks.
    
    I'd really like to get them to make some of these goodies!

512.11Chicken'n Dumplings tasted greatBTO::DEMAR_CFri Sep 30 1988 13:098
    
    I finally got the chance to prepare the Chicken 'n Dumplings recipe.
    It was great and so very easy. I did make some changes, such as
    I used cream of mushroom soup and added potato's and peas and 
    mushrooms. I'll will definitly be cooking this recipe over and over
    again.
                                            Thanks,
                                             Claire

    Re: 512.12:
    
    Here it is, courtesy of my "Best of Bisquick" cookbook:
    
    IMPOSSIBLE TUNA-DILL PIE
    
    1 cup dairy sour cream                   1 tsp. lemon juice
    1/2 tsp. dried dill weed                 3 eggs

Re: -.15:
    
    I got my book by responding to an offer in a woman's magazine -
    I think I had to send in a couple of Bisquick proofs of purchase.
    This was quite a while ago.
    
    I'd write to the company (General Mills) and ask them.  The book
    is called "The Best of Bisquick", copyright 1983.

512.18Herb Cheese WedgesDICKNS::CIAMPAGLIAWed Oct 18 1989 12:1421
    
    I made this to accompany beef stew. The recipe stated it would be
    perfect with a luncheon salad.
    
    2 cups Bisquick
    1 T. sugar
    2 t. dried minced onion
    1/2 t. each dried dill, basil, and oregano
    1 egg
    1/2 cup milk
    1/4 cup melted butter or margarine
    1/4 cup sauterne wine (I substituted soda water)
    1/3 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
    
    Combine Bisquick, onion, sugar, and herbs. Mix the egg and milk
    together; beat slightly. Add this, the butter and wine to the dry
    ingredients. Beat until blended.
    
    Turn out into a well-greased round 8-inch cake pan. Sprinkle the
    cheese on top. Bake at 400 until brown and crusty, about 25 min.
    Allow to sit for 10 min.; cut in wedges and serve with butter.
512.19Make your own BisquickNAVIER::SAISIMon Nov 11 1991 09:037
    Has anyone tried to make their own Bisquick mix?  The ingrediants
    are very basic, flour, veg. oil, baking soda or powder, and I think
    salt.  Any guesses on the proportions?  A biscuit recipe might be
    a good place to start.  I am going to try this because we go through
    about a box a week, and it costs 2-4 x more than the ingrediants
    do.

512.21Homemade biscuit mixTNPUBS::STEINHARTMon Nov 11 1991 11:2518
    Just make the biscuits up except for adding the milk. Add powdered
    buttermilk (available in supermarket baking section) after  you blend
    in the fat (by fat I mean your choice of butter, lard, margarine, or
    hydrogenated vegeable fat).  If you use salted butter or margarine,
    omit salt from the recipe.  The ratio is 2 or 3 tablespoons of
    buttermilk powder per cup of water.  
    
    When you are ready to bake, just add water.
    
    Make whatever quantity you want, increasing all ingredients
    proportionally.
    
    Important - refrigerate or freeze.  Do not keep homemade mix at room
    temperature.  Keep in an airtight container, such as a plastic box. 
    You must keep it cold to prevent the fat from melting, and to keep it
    from going rancid.  The buttermilk powder must also be kept cold.

Mix flour, salt, baking powder and dry milk together.  Cut in fat
until it is like coarse cornmeal.  Store in a jar or can with
tight cover, and label.  When using the mix, add amount of water
given above to make the dough just moist enouch to handle well.

Knead dough 15 strokes on lightly floured board.  Roll 1/2 inch
thick.  cut.  Put on baking sheet and bake at 400 F for 10
minutes or until nicely browned.  The 3-cup mixture given above
will make 12 generous size biscuits.

SUGGESTIONS:  A waterglass or can cover can be used for a cutter
or the biscuits can be cut into squares.

If you have no oven, these can be cooked on a grill or in a
frying pan on top of the stove on a very low heat, then turned to
cook on the other side.  This will make English muffins.  For
drop biscuits, use a little liquid, drop dough by spoonfuls on a
greased pan and bake at 450 F 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly
browned.

The biscuit mix can be rolled out to 1/4 inch thinkness, spread
with raisins, brown sugar, cinnamon and margarine and rolled up,
cut into sections and baked on a greased pan for coffee cakes.

Leftover meat, tuna fish or chopped meat can be spread on the
rolled-out biscuit dough, cut into sections and baked in separate
servings.  These can be served plain or with a cheese sauce.

For meat pie topping, use 1/2 less water, roll out to 3/8 inch,
cut with 2-inch cutter, place on bubbling hot pie, bake at 450 F
for 10 minutes.
