Chicken and Dumplings
Ingredients:
3 Cups Cooked Chicken
6-8 Cups Chicken Broth
2 Cups Flour
2 Tablespoons Butter
1/2 Teaspoon Baking Powder
Salt to taste
About a Cup of Milk
Process:
In a bowl, combine the Flour, Baking Powder, and Salt. Cut the Butter into the dry ingredients with a fork or pastry blender. Stir in the Milk, mixing with a fork untilthe dough forms a ball.
Heavily Flour a work surface. Roll the dough out thin with a heavily floured rolling pin. Dip a Pizza Cutter in Flour and cut the Dumplings into 2 inche squares.
Use a Floured Spatula to put the squares on a heavily Floured plate. Pour Flour between the layers of Dumplings. If they will be cooked soon, this is enough. If they will be cooked later, also seperate the layers with Wax Paper along with the Flour. You can also freeze them like this, and transfer to a ziplock bag.
To cook,bring the Broth to a Boil. Drop the Dumplings in one at a time, stirring while you add them. The extra Flour on them will help thicken the Broth. Cook them until they are not doughy (usually 15-20 minutes).
Add the Cooked Chicken to complete the dish.
I love to serve this over Mashed Potatoes!!!
