Dumplings: Mix Bisquick and 2/3 cup milk in separate bowl. Roll out on floured surface to 1/8 inch think - cut to squares or strips.

Shred cooled chicken or cut into bite size pieces - chop celery. Add chicken and celery back to broth.

Add dumplings back to broth - stir continuously to prevent sticking. Boil for 10-12 minutes until dumplings plump to double or more their size. Add 2/3 cup milk to pot and bring to temperature.

Alternates - drop dumplings: Do not roll dumplings flat, add milk after chicken and celery are added back to the pot. Drop dumplings on top with a spoon. Cover and let cook until dumplings are done - about 10-15 minutes.

Alternate - Crock pot method: Cook chicken with broth and veggies in crock pot on LOW for 6-8 hrs - chicken will be VERY tender. Transfer broth to pot and continue recipe as listed above. This saves 40 minutes of cooking time at the very beginning.
