Chicken and dumplings

I made chicken and dumplings for dinner the other night and I wanted to share how easy it is with everyone.
Ingredients
3 boneless chicken breast
5 chicken Bouillon cubes
Bisquick
Corn starch

I just took 3 frozen boneless chicken breast and put them in a pot with about  8 cups of water and 5 chicken Bouillon  cubes. Place on the stove and bring to a boil over medium heat.  Let the chicken boil till it is cooked all the way through. Then remove the chicken from the water and chop up fine.

Remove about 2 cups of chicken water.  Add chicken back to the rest of the water.  Then use the drop biscuit recipe on the Bisquick box to make dumplings using the water you got out of the pan for the liquid in the recipe.

 Then turn burner up to high and drop the dumplings by spoonful into the pan with the chicken . They will go all the way to the bottom but will rise back to the top as they cook.  The dumpling take only a couple of minutes to cook. If you are unsure if they are done simply scoop 1 out and try it.

My sauce was not very thick when the dumplings where done so I thickened it up by mixing 4 TBL of cornstarch and 1/4 cup of water together in a cup and stirring it in to the chicken and dumplings while burner was still on high the whole time.   This thickened it right up.

Everyone liked them even my next door neighbors who had some the next day because I had so much left over.  This would probably make a good freezer meal.
