Rainy Day Chicken and Dumplings

We had quite a rainy week here in Georgia which I love! It gives me a chance to make one of my favorite meals - Chicken and Dumplings. When I first found out I was gluten intolerant one of the first things that popped in my head was "Oh no! I can never, ever, again have chicken and dumplings" Well think again my gluten intolerant self - I have achieved a yummy and belly warming chicken and dumplings!

I did two versions of this for those of you who are still feeding people who can eat gluten :) It's super easy!

Chicken and Dumplings 

What You'll Need: 

• Bone in Chicken (for two people I used 1 leg and 1 breast with rib meat)
• 1 large onion, sliced
• 2 Bay Leaves 
• 1 tablespoon Thyme 
• 1 tablespoon Sea or Kosher Salt
• 1 tablespoon Pepper 
• 6 cups water 
• 1/2 Heavy Cream 
• 3/4 cup Gluten Free Bisquick 
• 1/3 Cup Milk 
• 1 Egg
• 2 Tablespoons Butter 
• 1 tablespoon parsley 
• Couple Shakes of Salt 

Instructions: 

1. Put water, chicken, onion, bay leaves, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 3-4 hours
2. Make the dumplings. Combine the Bisquick, milk, egg, butter parsley, and salt. 
3. Take the chicken out of the broth and pick apart once it cool enough :) Don't be hasty like me - burning fingers! (I keep the pulled apart chicken in a separate bowl) 
4. Put the dumplings in the broth (make sure to use only a tablespoon for the dumplings, they tend to get pretty big) 
5. Cook for 10 minutes uncovered, then cover and cook for another 15. 
6. Add the heavy cream once dumplings are ready 
7. Add chicken to your bowl, pour in the dumplings and broth, ad ENJOY! :) 

For Those Gluten Eaters 

For the gluten eaters - I like to add egg noodles since my dearest husband, Michael, doesn't fancy dumplings of any sort! Just make them in a separate pot and thrown them into your gluten eaters bowl and serve!
