Easy Chicken and Dumplings
"Chicken and dumplings are a meal that I don’t make often enough but whenever I do, it immediately makes me feel like I’m home with the people I love. The recipe I’m sharing with you today is an old fashioned staple that came from my Mim. It’s one of my favorite meals. Perfect for busy evenings. Gather your ingredients: olive oil, pepper, salt, garlic powder and onion powder. You’ll also need an onion, carrots, frozen peas, chicken broth, cream of chicken soup and cream of celery soup plus shredded chicken. For the dumplings, you’ll need biscuit mix, milk and apple cider vinegar."

In a small measuring cup, measure out the milk for dumplings and stir in 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar. Let sit until ready to use.

In a large pot, pour in olive oil, carrots, onions and seasonings. Cook over medium heat until onions are translucent.

Add chicken, peas and broth. Bring to a low simmer.

While soup is coming to a low simmer, make the dumplings. In a large bowl, mix together biscuit mix and soured milk. Mix until it forms a ball. Generously flour a clean surface and turn the dough out and form a round disc. Roll out until ½ inch thick. Use a pizza cutter to cut into strips. Then cut the strips into thirds.

When the soup comes to a boil, stir in cream of chicken and cream of celery soup.

Gently add the dumplings to the pot and gently stir.

Let simmer for 5-7 minutes until the dumplings have cooked through.
