2. Cook Chicken: In a large pot, place the whole chicken along with carrots, celery ribs, onion, bay leaves, garlic powder, and salt. Cover everything with water and add soy sauce. Allow it to simmer gently until the chicken becomes tender, which usually takes about 1 and a half hours.

3. Debone Chicken: Once the chicken is tender, carefully remove it from the pot and allow it to cool slightly. Then, debone the chicken, ensuring to discard any skin or bones.

4. Return Chicken to Pot: Place the deboned chicken back into the pot with the simmering broth.

5. Add Vegetables: Stir in the Knox soup mix, diced potatoes, and frozen peas into the pot. Let the stew simmer for another 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together beautifully.

6. Prepare Dumplings: While the stew is simmering, prepare the dumplings by mixing Bisquick with 1 cup of water until a soft dough forms.

7. Drop Dumplings: Once the stew has simmered for 30 minutes and the potatoes are tender, drop the dumpling dough by large tablespoonfuls into the simmering stew. Aim for about 15 dumplings, evenly spaced.

8. Cover and Simmer: Cover the pot and let the stew simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the dumplings to cook and puff up.

9. Final Simmer: After 10 minutes, uncover the pot and let the stew simmer for an additional 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the stew to thicken slightly.

10. Serve and Enjoy: Once the stew is ready, ladle it into bowls, making sure to include plenty of chicken, vegetables, and dumplings in each serving. Serve piping hot and enjoy the comforting flavors of Mom’s incredible chicken stew!

This recipe is perfect for cozy family dinners, especially during the colder months when a warm and hearty meal is just what you need to lift your spirits. Make a big batch and savor the leftovers for lunch the next day – it’s even better the next day after the flavors have had time to deepen and develop further.
