Bacon Chicken and Dumplings

My mouth is watering just thinking about this. I got this recipe today from All Recipes, and thanks to my husband's wonderful grocery shopping this past weekend, I have everything I need to make it. I could make the dough myself or to pick up some biscuit mix while I'm out tomorrow. Oh boy, we're having this for supper tomorrow night!

Bacon Chicken and Dumplings
  • 3 slices bacon
  • 3 large potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - diced
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 (15.25 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained and rinsed
  • 3 cups half-and-half
  • 1 1/2 cups biscuit mix
  • 1 cup milk
  1. Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble and set aside; reserve bacon drippings in skillet.
  2. Add potatoes, onion and chicken to bacon drippings and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Pour in chicken broth; season with poultry seasoning, salt and pepper. Stir in corn, and simmer all together for 15 minutes.
  3. Pour in half-and-half and bring to a boil; add crumbled bacon. In a medium bowl, combine biscuit mix with milk and mix well (dough should be thick). Drop tablespoon sizes of dough into boiling mixture; reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes uncovered, then another 10 minutes covered. (Note: Do not stir while simmering, or dumplings will break apart). Serve hot.
