Place chicken breasts, thighs, water, onion, salt, carrots and celery in a pot. Bring to boil, reduce heat to medium, COVER, and simmer for 15 minutes. Turn off heat and let stand for up to 1 hour (if your in a hurry you can go to next step). Remove chicken from broth and remove meat from bones. Cut chicken into 1 inch pieces. Return to broth. Add basil and peas, return to boil. In a bowl, stir Bisquick and milk to form soft dough, drop dumplings in by Tablespoons forming 14 dumplings. Reduce heat to medium, simmer uncovered for 10 minutes. Cover and simmer for another 15 minutes.Serve immediately.
