Chicken Fricassee with Bisquick Dumplings

Chicken Fricassee with Bisquick Dumplings – simple one pot version of fine French chicken and dumplings stewed in a thick white sauce to warm us up when it is so cold outside.

Fricassee is a French dish consisting of cut up meat stewed in a thick white sauce. If you want to make it the authentic way, you julienne slice your carrots, use fresh mushrooms and serve it over white rice or egg noodles. French usually use tarragon in this dish, but you can used other herbs instead, like thyme.

I made an everyday easier version with frozen carrots and peas, canned mushrooms and bisquick herb dumplings cooked in the sauce. The dish is made from scratch in a little bit more then 30 minutes on your stovetop (no oven needed).

This Chicken Fricassee with Bisquick Dumplings is a fine and tasty meal to warm us up when it is so cold outside.
