Instructions

Prepare the broth and chicken: In a large pot, combine the gluten-free chicken broth, diced cooked chicken, frozen mixed vegetables, dried sage, dried thyme, and onion powder. Bring the mixture to a low boil over medium heat, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Create the thickening mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together the milk and gluten-free cornstarch until the cornstarch is completely dissolved to avoid lumps. Pour this mixture into the large pot with the chicken broth and stir thoroughly. Continue to bring the broth to a boil.
Make the dumpling batter: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth. Add the gluten-free Bisquick mix to the eggs and stir until combined. Then, add the melted butter and milk to the mixture, stirring until the batter is sticky and uniform in texture.
Cook the dumplings: Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, drop heaping spoonfuls of the dumpling batter into the boiling chicken broth mixture. Reduce the heat to low to maintain a gentle simmer, and cook the dumplings uncovered for 10 minutes to allow them to set and cook through.
Simmer covered: Cover the pot and let the dumplings cook for an additional 15 minutes on low heat. This ensures the dumplings steam and become fluffy and tender.
Serve: Remove the pot from heat. Ladle the chicken, vegetables, and dumplings into bowls and serve warm. Enjoy your comforting gluten-free meal!
