Chicken and Dumplings


This recipe uses convenient items, like store-bought chicken stock and biscuit mix, to whip up a comforting dish that’s ready to eat in less than an hour. Dovetailing Tip: Use the chicken you cooked on day one. Cube it and add at the same time you would the raw chicken. This will cut down on cooking time.

1 medium onion, chopped

1 small box biscuit mix(preferred brand jiffy mix)
1/2 cup warm water
1 cup frozen green peas
handful flat-leaf parsley, chopped
