I made my personal (lazy way) chicken n dumplins' and it was awesome.

First off let me explain if it can be cooked in one pot, I like it. If its really easy I like it even more.

Total cook time about 1.5 hour
total prep time about 15 mins

One whole frying chicken
1c frozen peas
3 stalks celery
3 carrots
1 can green beans
one small onion
2 potatoes
chicken bullion
1 can bisquits
pepper

Put the chicken in a large stock pot and cover with water and bring to a boil. Cook for about 45 mins. While waiting for chicken to cook, peel the potato, onion, carrots, and cut into grape size peices or smaller. Cut the celery the same size. Once the chicken is cooked, remove it and put the veggies you cut in the stock and let them boil, add the bullion and some pepper. Once the chicken cools off break it apart like you would for chicken soup and throw it back in the pot along with the peas and green beans. Bring to a boil and throw in the bisquits, I like to break each one into about 5 pieces so that they are bite sized, they cook in the broth and stay at the top. At the very end I thicken it all up with cornstarch and water mixture.

It sounds hard, but its easy, also I use a pressure cooker, 30 mins for the chicken, than I take the cover off and cook the rest in the pot without the top. It would be an easy thing to precook the chicken the night before and than just do the rest the following evening.

This is a great winter dinner.
