Chicken & Dumplings

True comfort food-this tastes like the real deal and is very easy. The dumplings could have cooked alittle longer- I think. How can you "tell" if they're really done? Next time I might try canned biscuits.

3 cups shredded chicken
1 10 3/4 ounce can cream of chicken soup
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup whole milk
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup Bisquick
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/3 cup whole milk

In a large saucepan, combine chicken, soup, broth, 1 cup milk, thyme, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally, over medium heat.

In a medium bowl, combine Bisquick, 1/8 teaspoon pepper, and 1/3 cup milk, stir just until moistened.

Drop dough, 1 teaspoon at a time, into boiling chicken mixture. Reduce heat to low, and simmer uncovered, 10 minutes. Cover, and simmer 10 minutes longer, or until dumplings are done.
