Chicken And Dumplings (Low-Fat) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/4 cup bacon bits (real bacon bits)
cooking spray
3 large potatoes (peeled and diced)
1 onion (diced)
1 cup carrot (diced)
1 cup celery (diced)
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (diced)
3 cups chicken broth
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
salt and pepper
3 cups fat-free half-and-half
1 1/2 cups biscuit mix
1 cup skim milk

Preparation

Coat large dutch oven with cooking spray.
Add potatoes, onion, celery, carrots and chicken, cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pour in chicken broth; season with poultry seasoning, salt and pepper simmer all together for 15 minutes.
Pour in half-and-half and bring to a boil; add bacon bits.
In a medium bowl, combine biscuit mix with milk and mix well (dough should be thick). Drop tablespoon sizes of dough into boiling mixture; reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes uncovered, then another 10 minutes covered. (Note: Do not stir while simmering, or dumplings will break apart). Serve hot.
