So I start by chopping 1 small white/yellow onion, 1 cup carrots, 1 to 1/2 cup celery finely chopped.
I then add some olive oil in a large pot and sweat the veggies until the are almost cooked and the onions are translucent. I add a little dryed thyme and rosemary also a little garlic pwd. Then I cube up or chunk 4 boneless skinless chicken breast and add them to the pot, I then add about 4 cups of chicken broth/stock if homemade. A little salt and pepper and bring to a boil. I boil for about 10 mins then turn down to med and let simmer until the chicken is cooked. If you left it in large pieces I would pull it out and shred it. I then make up Bisquick mix for dumplings and drop in the pot it rounded tablespoon size.

Thank you SweetCheeks and welcome to the thread!

Ok a question for you on cooking technique. At the point where you add the chicken to the pot, do you brown the chicken, are you looking to crisp it up first for example or just add it and let it cook in the broth?

I usually don't brown the chicken for this recipe, but I have made it where I did brown the chicken first and then add it to the pot. Also you can add a can of cream of chicken soup to the above recipe to make it a little more creamy.
