Easy Chicken and Dumplings

Perfect for autumn nights, this main course is speedy, low in fat and
a delicious one-dish meal. -Nancy T. of Elk Falls, Kansas

Prep/Total Time: 30 min.

3 celery ribs, chopped
1 cup sliced fresh carrots
3 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1/8 teaspoon pepper
3 cups cubed cooked chicken breast
1-2/3 cups reduced-fat biscuit/baking mix
2/3 cup fat-free milk

In a Dutch oven coated with nonstick cooking spray, saute celery and
carrots for 5 minutes. Stir in the broth, poultry seasoning and
pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered. Add the
chicken. For dumplings, combine biscuit mix and milk. Drop by
tablespoonfuls
onto simmering broth. Cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until a
toothpick inserted into a dumpling comes out clean (do not lift cover
while simmering). Yield: 6 servings.
