Quicker Chicken and Dumplings

QUICKER CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS
from TASTE OF HOME/SIMPLE

Ingredients
1-1/2 cups 2% milk
1-1/2 cups frozen mixed vegetables, thawed
2-1/2 cups cubed cooked chicken
1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed cream of chicken soup, undiluted
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon poultry seasoning
I added a half of a can of chicken broth because I thought the
misture was too thick, I would add it again.

DUMPLINGS:
1 cup biscuit/baking mix
1/3 cup French-fried onions, coarsely chopped
7 tablespoons 2% milk
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
Directions
In a Dutch oven, combine the first six ingredients; bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the biscuit mix, onions, milk and parsley just until moistened. Drop by heaping teaspoonfuls onto simmering stew. Cook, uncovered, for 10 minutes.
Cover and simmer 10-12 minutes longer or until a toothpick inserted in a dumpling comes out clean (do not lift the cover while simmering). Yield: 6 servings.
