Ingredients

  • 1 cut-up whole chicken (3 to 3 1/2 lb/1.5 to 1.75 kg)
  • 2 medium stalks celery (with leaves), cut up (about 1 cup)
  • 1 medium carrot, sliced (1/2 cup)
  • 1 small onion, sliced

  • 5 cups water
  • 2 1/2 cups Original Bisquick™ mix

    Remove and discard excess fat from chicken. In 4-quart Dutch oven, place chicken, giblets (except discard liver) and neck. Add celery, carrot, onion, parsley, salt, pepper and water. Cover; heat to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer about 2 hours or until juice of chicken is clear when thickest part is cut to bone (at least 165°F).

    In Dutch oven, heat reserved 1/2 cup fat over low heat. Stir in 1/2 cup of the Bisquick™ mix. Cook and stir until mixture is smooth and bubbly; remove from heat. Stir in reserved 4 cups broth. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Boil and stir 1 minute. Add chicken and vegetables; reduce heat to low. Heat about 20 minutes or until hot.
