    Teresa Johnson

    List of Ingredients

    1 whole chicken
    salt and pepper to taste
    3/4 cup white wine
    1 tbsp oregano
    1 tbsp basil
    2 bay leaves
    Box of Bisquick
    Milk
    Flour
    1/2 cup Milk
    2 or 3 tsp. butter

    Recipe

    Place chicken in a large soup pot and cover with water (fill the pot about half full). Add salt and pepper to taste. Add wine, oregano, basil and bay leaves. Cook over medium-high heat until chicken is done. Remove the chicken from the broth and place in a colander until cold running water to cool. Pour the broth through a strainer into a separate bowl to remove bits of fat and foam that have accumulated during cooking. Pour strained broth back into soup pot. Remove skin from chicken, and pull chicken from the bone, then tear or cut the chicken into bite sized pieces and put them back in the broth. Simmer chicken and broth on low while making dumplings. Using the Bisquick and milk, prepare as much dumpling mix as you want (as many as your pot will hold) according to package instructions. Coat your hands with flour, sprinkle a little flour on top of the dumpling mix, and roll dumplings into 1 inch balls. Sprinkle a little more flour on top of dumpling mix when it begins to get too sticky to roll. When you're almost finished rolling the dumplings, turn up the heat under the chicken and broth and bring to a slow boil. Drop dumplings into boiling broth. Make sure they submerge. They'll pop back up, but you need to make sure they get totally wet. Once all dumplings are in the broth, add 1/2 cup milk and 2 or 3 teaspoons butter and poke all the dumplings down again. Do not stir before the dumplings are cooked, because it will tear them up. Simmer for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally but gently (if all dumplings appear to be cooked) to make sure chicken doesn't stick to bottom of pot.
