Chicken and Dumplings and Pasta Salad

I really enjoyed this meal and I love it when I look over at my husband and he is shaking his head up and down, because I know that is a meal that he REALLY wants me to make again.

Chicken and Dumplings

Ingredients:

3 c. chicken, cooked and shredded
1 - 16 oz. bag frozen mixed vegetables
4 c. water
2 c. Shirley J's Whisk Bliss

Dumplings
1 - 12 oz package Shirley J's Biscuit & Baking Mix
3/4 c. water

Directions:
In saucepan over medium heat, whisk together water and Whisk Bliss. Bring to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes. Add chicken, chicken bouillon, and frozen vegetables. Bring back to a boil and simmer again for 5 minutes. Pour into 9 x 13 baking dish. Mix up one batch of biscuit mix according to package directions. Spoon large spoonfuls of dough directly on top of the sauce and chicken mixture-making eight to ten, big biscuits. Bake at 375 degrees for 10-12 minutes.
