I hope you are not into measuring because I just watched my mother and
grandmother and have never measured anything. If you hold your mouth
right these will be the best dumplins you've ever eat.

Stew your chicken (I use breast because I like wht meat)
Take out the chicken
Add milk and 1 stick of butter to broth,salt and pepper to taste
Fill your pot about 1/2 full
Make biscuits just like you are going to put them on a pan
Drop them in your broth
and cover about 20 mins just a bubble not a rolling boil
the flour on the biscuits will make the thickening
Just before you serve drop in the deboned chicken
Set back and enjoy
