Quick Chicken and Dumplings

I found this recipe years ago and am now copying it here from our family cookbook binder. Enjoy!

Quick Chicken and Dumplings

1 ½ cups milk                                                

1 cup frozen peas and carrots                          

1 cup cut-up cooked chicken                          

1 can cream of chicken soup

1 cup Bisquick Mix

1/3 cup milk

Paprika, if desired

Heat 1 ½ cups milk, peas and carrots, chicken and soup to boiling in a 3 qt. saucepan, stirring frequently.  Stir Bisquick and 1/3 cup milk until soft dough forms.  Drop by 8 spoonfuls onto chicken mixture (do not drop directly into liquid).  Sprinkle with paprika.  Cook uncovered over low heat 10 minutes.  Cover and cook 10 minutes longer.  For tender dumplings, don’t over-mix the dough.
