Quick Chicken and Dumplings

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1/2 cup prechopped onion
• 2 cups chopped roasted skinless, boneless chicken breasts
• 1 (10-ounce) box frozen mixed vegetables, thawed
• 1 1/2 cups water
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1 (14-ounce) can fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 bay leaf
• 8 (6-inch) flour tortillas, cut into 1/2-inch strips
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Preparation

Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion; sauté 5 minutes or until tender. Stir in chicken and vegetables; cook 3 minutes or until thoroughly heated, stirring constantly.

While chicken mixture cooks, combine water, flour, and broth. Gradually stir broth mixture into chicken mixture. Stir in salt, pepper, and bay leaf; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 3 minutes. Stir in tortilla strips, and cook 2 minutes or until tortilla strips soften. Remove from heat; stir in parsley. Discard bay leaf. Serve immediately.
