S's chicken and dumplings recipe is more of a chicken vegetable soup with dumplings. And made with just about every shortcut imaginable, so it is super easy -- it's like CHEATING at making it "homemade." There is not an exact recipe, just general instructions.
CHEATING HOMEMADE CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS
Amounts of the following ingredients depend on how big of an army you need to feed!
Chicken broth or water & chicken gravy packets
frozen or canned mixed veggies (potatoes, corn, carrots, peas)
canned or diced prepared chicken
can of cheap biscuits (the cheap ones work better than the flaky kind)
salt & pepper
Boil your broth or water & gravy packets. Dump in veggies and chicken until it boils again. Pull apart the biscuits into thirds or fourths and drop them in the boiling broth. Put a cover over it and let it simmer for 10 minutes or so. Stir every so often to keep it from sticking on the bottom. Salt and pepper to taste and serve!
