This recipe is from a Weight Watchers Cookbook. Use two spoons when dropping your dumplings: one to scoop up the dough the other to push the sticky dough into the soup. Once you add the dumplings, don't allow the soup to come to a boil, or the dumplings will fall apart.

CHICKEN & HERB ROLLED DUMPLINGS
My inspiration to make this recipe came from Connie Brannen here at Just A Pinch. She makes her dumplings just the way mama always made hers. I made this recipe using SELF RISING flour along with lots of garlic, shredded carrots, onions, & celery soup since I was out of celery & a few herbs to add flavor and color to the...

Steps:
- 1. This dish starts out with lots of flavor by using lots of chicken, garlic, onions & celery soup, because I was out of fresh celery.
- 2. Begin by seasoning the chicken pieces with the steak seasoning and granulated garlic. If chicken is frozen just add pieces to a large pot, cover with water and add in the spices. Place pot over medium high heat, cover with lid and bring to boil, then lower heat and allow to simmer.
- 3. Mince the cloves of garlic, and chop the onions and shred carrots & add to the pot as well. Then over a medium high heat, continue to cook the chicken parts until tender. About an hour to 1 and a half hour.
- 4. When chicken is fully cooked remove to a large platter and allow to cool.
- 5. When cool enough to handle remove & discard the outer skin bones and cartlidge, set chicken aside till needed.
- 6. Prepare the dumplings by combining the flour with the herbs and spices. Then add in the eggs and olive oil, and stir with a spoon or spatula. Then add in the chicken stock and stir until dough comes together.
- 7. Liberally dust the counter surface with extra flour. Divide dough into 2 pieces, then roll each half on counter into a long rectangle shape.
- 8. Then using a pastry cutter or knife cut dough into long strips, then cut into opposite directions creating one and a half to two inch pieces.
- 9. Alternate the dumpling pieces onto a platter and repeat until all the dough has been cut. In the mean time cover the chicken stock with a lid and bring to a rolling boil. Then drop dumplings into hot stock and stir occasionally to prevent dumplings from sticking. Repeat until all the dumplings has been added. Then add in the boneless pieces of chicken.
- 10. Cover the pot with lid and return to boil and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, dumplings will rise to the top of pot. add a few pats of butter if desired, adjust seasoning after tasting if desired, then serve while still hot.
CHICKEN SOUP WITH HERB DUMPLINGS
Steps:
- Longer method: In a large dutch oven, cover the chicken with the water and bring to a gentle simmer. Poach the thighs about 20 mins. Remove from heat. Pull chicken out of broth. When cooled, shred the meat from the bones and set aside. Return the bones/scraps to the pot- bring to a gentle simmer. Cover and keep the heat low. Simmer for at least an hour, or several hours if you have the time. Strain stock through cheesecloth, return to the pot. Quick version: Put the broth in a large dutch oven and heat over a low flame. Pick about 2 cups worth of chicken meat from the roast. Set aside. Both versions can continue on here: 1 cup thinly sliced carrots (2 carrots) 1/2 cup thinly sliced celery (1 rib celery) 1/2 cup thinly sliced green onion (2 large onions) Add to the simmering stock and start the dumplings. To make the dumplings: 3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh herbs such as parsley, chives, or thyme Combine flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Quickly rub in the butter with your fingers and then add the milk and herbs. Stir. To finish: Add the onions and chicken to the soup. Raise the heat a little and drop the dumpling dough into the soup by pulling rough balls from the dough, slightly smaller than a ping-pong ball. Cover and cook for 5 minutes. Remove the cover and poke at the dumplings, which should be bopping on the surface, to turn them. Keep the soup at a steady simmer and cook another 10 minutes or so.

This is a classic with a little twist. My husband and I made this for a smoking "throwdown" contest because it was different. Turns out it's going to be a good keeper.

Steps:
- 1. Cook's Tip: You will need a large Dutch oven or pot with a tight fitting lid. I use a cast iron Dutch oven.
- 2. Select a young 4 to 5 pound chicken. You can use all parts of the chicken, but it is less bones if you use the legs, thighs and breast meat, which is what I do. I make stock for future use from the remaining parts of the chicken.
- 3. Remove the skin from the chicken. Cut the breast meat in half so all the pieces are about the same size. Place the chicken pieces in a large Dutch oven over medium high heat.
- 4. Add 8 cups of water. Add the bay leaves, rubbed sage, salt and pepper. Bring pot to a boil then turn down to a simmer for 30 minutes or until chicken is tender.
- 5. Lift out the chicken to a platter and remove the bones and return the chicken to the pot. Add the stick of butter. Now, add the remaining vegetables and bring temperature back up and then when it comes to a boil, turn down to a simmer. Simmer until vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes. Remove bay leaves. Check seasoning for salt and pepper.
- 6. Thicken or not to thicken? We prefer our broth to be more like a stew and the addition of dumplings does thicken it somewhat. Optional: If you like a thicker stew, now is the time to thicken it by adding 2 tablespoons of flour to ½ cup cold water and whisk until smooth and then add to the broth. Stir.
- 7. Making Dumplings In a small bowl, add flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, sage, garlic and onion powder, and parsley. Mix dry ingredients well, then add butter. Mash the butter into the flour with a fork, then using your fingers distribute it evenly throughout the flour, then add milk.
- 8. Stir mixture just until wet. The goal is to make a sticky, moist, spoonable dough. Dip your spoon in the hot broth, and then drop spoonfuls of the dough into the simmering broth until the bowl is empty. Turn the heat up and bring it to a boil and then immediately turn the heat to simmer (so it won't tear your dumplings) Put the lid on tight. Cook 20 minutes. NO PEEKING, PLEASE! You will lose your steam, because the heat and steam is what cooks your dumplings.
- 9. Serve this delicious chicken and dumplings in bowls. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Combine broth and soup in large soup pot. Heat to a rolling boil. While broth is heating, make the dumplings. In a flood processor, combine flour, shortening and buttermilk. Process until a dough forms. Remove onto a well-floured surgace. Knead more flour into dough until you get a stiff dough. Roll teh dough thin. Cut into strips about 1 1/2 inches wide. Cut or tear strops into several pieces and drop into boiling broth. Stir and reduce heat to low. Cover pot and cook about 6 minutes. Remove lid and let mixture continue to bubble. Add black pepper, butter, milk and chicken. Cook until slightly thenckened. It will thicken more as it cools.
Tips:
- Fresh herbs: For the best flavor, use fresh herbs whenever possible. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use half the amount.
- Season the chicken well: Don't be afraid to season the chicken generously with salt and pepper. This will help to bring out the flavor of the chicken and make the dumplings more flavorful.
- Use a variety of vegetables: Feel free to use any vegetables you like in this recipe. Some good options include carrots, celery, potatoes, and peas.
- Don't overcook the dumplings: The dumplings should be cooked through, but they should not be overcooked. Overcooked dumplings will be tough and chewy.
- Serve immediately: Chicken and herb dumplings are best served immediately. However, they can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Chicken and herb dumplings are a classic comfort food that is perfect for a cold winter day. This recipe is easy to follow and can be made with ingredients that you probably already have on hand. So next time you're looking for a hearty and flavorful meal, give this recipe a try.
