Instructions
1
Begin by chopping the deboned, skinless rotisserie chicken into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
2
In a large saucepan over medium-low heat, melt 1/2 cup of unsalted butter. Once melted, add 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour, stirring constantly for about 2 minutes until bubbly and a light golden color is achieved.
3
Gradually stir in the three cans of chicken broth and add the black pepper, parsley flakes (or chives), poultry seasoning, nutmeg, and rosemary (if using). Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to medium.
4
Add the chopped chicken into the saucepan, stirring gently to combine with the gravy.
5
In a separate bowl, prepare the dumpling dough by mixing together the Bisquick, milk, and a dash of pepper until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be soft and slightly sticky.
6
Using a teaspoon, drop the dumpling dough quickly in a single layer over the bubbling gravy. Avoid rolling or pressing the dough; it should float on the surface.
7
Allow the mixture to simmer uncovered for 10 minutes, letting the dumplings rise and cook through.
8
After 10 minutes, garnish the tops of the dumplings with fresh parsley or chives for added flavor and color.
9
Next, cover the saucepan with a lid, reducing the heat to medium-low. Simmer the covered mixture for an additional 10 minutes.
10
Once done, uncover the saucepan and carefully remove the dumplings one by one using a small slotted spoon, placing them on a serving plate with the garnished side facing up.
11
Stir the chicken and gravy mixture gently with a wooden spoon, scraping the bottom of the saucepan to blend in any cooked bits.
12
Ladle the savory chicken and gravy mixture into serving bowls and elegantly arrange the fluffy dumplings on top.
13
Serve immediately and enjoy the warm, hearty goodness!
