General
PRE-TRIP PREP: Thaw chicken in cooler the day before use. This is an ideal Dutch oven dinner on a layover day.
ON THE RIVER: Prepare 28 briquettes (14 below, 14 on top). In the Dutch oven, combine cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, onion, celery, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper; stir to combine. Add raw chicken thighs submerged in the liquid. Cover and cook 30 minutes until chicken is cooked through. Remove chicken and shred with two forks; return to pot with peas and carrots; stir. DUMPLINGS: Mix biscuit mix and milk until a soft dough forms. Drop tablespoon-sized dumplings over the surface of the stew; replace lid. Cook 15–18 more minutes until dumplings are fluffy and cooked through. Serve in bowls directly from Dutch oven.
