FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
What is Bisquick?
Bisquick is simply a pre-made baking mix of flour, shortening, salt, sugar and baking powder. There are several store brands that can also be used here. Just make sure it has the same ingredients listed as the Bisquick baking mix.
What can I substitute for chicken tenders?
You can use some rotisserie chicken in this which gives it a wonderful flavoror if you have leftovers from a roasted chicken. Chicken breasts or chicken thighs can also be used.
How do you store leftover chicken and dumplings?
Chicken and Dumplings don’t always make the best leftovers.The dumplings will continue to absorb the liquid so when you make this, be sure you’re going to eat it all the same day.
Can you freeze chicken and dumplings?
Just like storing leftovers, it is not recommended to freeze chicken and dumplings as the dumplings will continue to soak up the surrounding liquid and will become dense and thick and no longer fluffy.
Can I make homemade dumplings?
Yes. You’ll need:
2 cups all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 cups of milk
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
Make the dumplings by mixing the flour with the baking powder and salt in a mixing bowl then stir in the milk and oil until it forms a sticky dough. Continue with the rest of the recipe as written.
Can Chicken and Bisquick Dumplings be made in the slow cooker?
Yes. Add all the ingredients to a 5 quart slow cooker (except for the Bisquick and milk) and cook on low for 4-6 hours until chicken is cooked. Then mix together Bisquick and milk then drop by tablespoonfuls into the slow cooker and cover. Cook for an additional 30-60 minutes (or until dumplings are cooked through and no longer doughy.

I want to make this, but in order for my daughter to eat it, it has to be gluten free. Can I use the gluten free Bisquick? And if so, do I need to make any other changes to the recipe? Will it taste the same as using regular Bisquick? Thanks!

Good question and my honest answer is I don’t know. I think you could use the gluten free Bisquick but I just couldn’t tell you how it would taste. I have never used it before. I would hope it would be very similar. I’m sorry I’m not more help

Quick and easy and taste awesomReply
Brandie! Where do you find Buttermilk Powder? We have looked for it and asked at our local Safeway and Fry’s in Arizona and they look at us like we are crazy!

Hey Kathy! Oh no! Well, you could order from Amazon. It can usually be found in one of two places – sometimes it will be with the powdered milk and evaporated milks (in the baking aisle) and sometimes you may find it close to the sugar and flour section. Hope that helps!
