More About This Recipe

  • It’s soup season, y’all. I’ve been enjoying the heck out of it myself. I love chilly nights and hot bowls of soup! I mean, let’s be real. I love the sunshine and swimming pools more, but if I have to deal with icy winds and below zero temperatures, then I certainly want a big bowl of warmth there to keep me happy and alive. Chicken and dumplings is a favorite in our house and it’s so easy when you make it with Bisquick®. But let’s take things just a teensy step farther and turn those dumplings into cornbread dumplings. Everyone knows that cornbread makes life better, am I right? We’re keeping this totes easy and starting with a rotisserie chicken. Just chop it all up and you’re ready to go. You’ll also need some Bisquick® and cornmeal for the dumplings. You’ll want peas and carrots, butter, flour, onion, milk, and chicken broth for the soup. It’s heaven in a soup pot, my friends!
