Chicken-n-Dumplins

So, I thought I'd post my (mom's---adapted slightly) recipe for Chicken-n-dumplins. 
This is MAJOR comfort food and so super easy, even I can do it. 

Ingredients:
Large Can (or box) of Chicken Broth.  I use Publix Low Sodium Chicken Broth
5-6 Chicken Tenderloins.  I use Publix Frozen Tenderloins in the bag.  I should buy stock in those things!
Bisquick
Milk

Directions:
Pour broth in large pan
Add Chicken Tenders
Let simmer until chicken is done...or until you are ready to take them out...or until you are finished preparing the dumplins...you can't really overcook the tenders.

Prepare Dumplins: 
Combine 2 1/4 cups of bisquick and 2/3 cup of milk (or 1/3 milk, 1/3 water like I do)
Mix in a bowl until its well combined.
Let rest and take a picture.
Remove chicken from broth.


Then sprinkle some bisquick on your counter so you can roll out your dough
Pat out your dough and cut into small squares.  I use the pizza cutter here for ease of cutting.
Sprinkle a little of the bisquick on pizza cutter so it doesn't stick.

Oooo....that's nice...all lined up just perfectly....

While broth is boiling drop dough in on top of the 'boil'
Continue adding dough until you can't see any more broth
Stir occasionally
Drop in more dough as the first batch 'cooks'
Continue until all dough is in the pot
Broth will thicken as dough turns magically into dumplins

Cut up your chicken into tiny pieces and add into dumplins

Continue stirring until consistency is thick but not dry
{This pic really bothers me because I like to have 3 items at least on a plate---it just seems so off.  Have we talked about my food issues-this includes plating of food? banana vapors, crunchy with soft, 3 items on a plate, consistency issues, color of plates, the list could go on...my old co-workers said they were going to write a book about all of my issues.  Either way....this picture bothers me.}

I served with baked apples.  Something green would have been nice, but I was in a hurry...
and no one (Lance) touches greens around here.

So, run and go make these dumplins.

They are DELISH!
