Steps:
- Place a large pot of water on to boil for gnocchi.
- Heat a pot with 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, a turn of the pan, over medium-high heat. Add chicken, season with salt and pepper, and lightly brown.

Steps:
- In large pot bring the chicken stock, soup, and cream to a boil.
- Dice both peppers and onion. Using a mini chopper makes this a breeze. Spray a bowl with cooking spray, add peppers, onions and tomatoes, and cook to soften in the microwave. Approx 2 minutes.
- Add softened veggies and cooked chicken to pot of boiling stock. Stir in spices.
- Drop biscuit quarters into pot. Do not stir. Let things return to boil, cook 10 minutes uncovered. Reduce heat to simmer, add lid and cook additional 7 minutes or until biscuits are done.
- Avoid lifting the lid during the final cook time and don't over stir. Stirring will tear apart the dumplings.
- Enjoy!

QUICK AND SUPER EASY CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS
This is a great recipe for Southern-style chicken and dumplings. My husband doesn't usually like chicken and dumplings, but he absolutely loved these and asked for seconds (which he never does with anything). My little boys (2, 4, and 5 years) ate it up and asked for more also. I just threw this together on a night I didn't feel like spending much time and energy on cooking. This is great and easy for the kids to help with also.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, stir together the biscuit mix and milk just until it pulls together. Set aside.
- Pour the cans of chicken broth into a saucepan along with the chicken; bring to a boil. Once the broth is at a steady boil, take a handful of biscuit dough and flatten it in your hand. Tear off 1 to 2 inch pieces and drop them into the boiling broth. Make sure they are fully immersed at least for a moment. Once all of the dough is in the pot, carefully stir so that the newest dough clumps get covered by the broth. Cover, and simmer over medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Steps:
- In a heavy bottomed Dutch oven or large wide pot, over medium heat, add chicken broth, water, butter and all seasonings (poultry seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, parsley, basil, and pepper). Cover and bring to a boil.
- Meanwhile, cut chicken breast into bite sized pieces. Add to the pot. Stir to combine and cover.
- In a sealable container (such as a large mason jar) combine flour and milk. Seal tightly and shake vigorously to combine well.

- Meanwhile combine dumpling ingredients in a medium bowl. Mix well with a fork. Remove cover from the soup pot and stir well.
- Drop dumplings into the soup one tablespoon at a time, use a 1 tablespoon scoop to make it even easier. Reduce heat to simmer, cover and cook until soup is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 10 minutes.

QUICK CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS
I adapted this recipe from a recipe on a box of biscuit mix. I have added ingredients to the original recipe, which was a little thin for my taste. I like my soups and such to be thick with ingredients. I used canned chicken, but if you have leftover cooked chicken, feel free to use it (or use turkey for variety).

Steps:
- In a large saucepan, combine the ½ cup milk, peas and carrots, chicken, mushrooms and soup. (Note about the soup: The recipe software interpreted "creamy mushroom soup" as cream of mushroom soup. Do not used condensed cream of mushroom soup; look at the premium brands for "creamy mushroom soup" which is a ready to eat product.)
- Heat to boiling, stirring frequently.
- While soup mixture is heating, stir biscuit mix and the 1/3 cup milk together until it forms a soft dough.
- After soup mixture comes to a boil, drop the dough onto (not into) the chicken mixture in 8 or 9 spoonfuls.
- Sprinkle dumplings with paprika.
- Lower heat to low and simmer gently without a cover for 10 minutes, then cover and cook 10 minutes more.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the cooking process.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your dumplings will taste. Whenever possible, use fresh herbs, vegetables, and meat.
- Don't Overmix the Dough: Overmixing the dough will make the dumplings tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Cook the Dumplings in a Well-Seasoned Broth: The broth is what will flavor the dumplings, so make sure it is well-seasoned. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or even water, but be sure to add plenty of herbs, spices, and vegetables.
- Don't Crowd the Dumplings: When you are cooking the dumplings, don't crowd them in the pot. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Serve the Dumplings Immediately: Dumplings are best served immediately after they are cooked. They can be served as a main course or as a side dish.
Conclusion:
Italian chicken dumplings are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a hearty and flavorful meal that the whole family will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give these Italian chicken dumplings a try!
