Convinced it’s impossible to have a hearty, homemade meal on the road because your RV kitchen is too small? This chicken with herb dumplings recipe is the perfect savory meal after a long day of adventure.

What You’ll Need

For the Chicken:

• 2 1/2 pounds bone-in chicken parts
• 2 cans cream of chicken soup (no water added)
• 3 tablespoons vegetable shortening
• 1 cup all-purpose baking mix
• 3 cups milk
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

For the Dumplings

• 2 cups all-purpose baking mix
• 1/4 teaspoon dried parsley
• 1/4 teaspoon poultry seasoning
• 2/3 cups milk

Cooking Instructions

1. Over medium-high heat, warm the shortening in a large skillet.
2. Separately, in a medium bowl, mix the 1 cup baking mix, paprika, salt and pepper, and toss the chicken in the mixture until it is fully coated.
3. Fry the coated chicken in the skillet until it is browned, then remove the chicken and set it aside on a paper towel.
4. Wipe the skillet clean and place it back on the stove.
5. Stir the cans of soup and 3 cups milk together in the skillet, then place the chicken back in the pan and heat the entire mixture until it’s boiling.
6. Reduce the stove’s heat to low and cover the mixture while it simmers for 45 minutes. Turn the chicken occasionaly.
7. In a separate medium bowl, mix 2 cups baking mix, parsley, poultry seasoning and 2/3 cup milk together until it makes a soft dough.
8. After the chicken has fully cooked for 45 minutes, drop the soft dough mixture into the skillet in small spoonfuls to form dumplings.
9. Finally, cook the entire mixture together on low for 10 minutes uncovered, then another 10 minutes covered. When the dumplings have expanded, it’s time to eat!
