Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
10 c chicken stock, or 10 small chicken boullion cubes w/ 10 cups water
parsley flakes
1 stalk(s) celery chopped
1/2 medium onion chopped
DUMPLINGS
2 c self-rising flour
1/4 tsp pepper
2 eggs, well beaten
3 Tbsp melted butter
2/3 c milk

Steps:

  • 1. In a large pot boil the chicken in chicken stock or add 8 chicken bouillon cubes to the water. To add some flavor, add parsley, onion, and celery.
  • 2. When done, take the chicken out and shred.
  • 3. Return to pot.
  • 4. Dumplings: In a large bowl, sift dry ingredients.
  • 5. Add egg and melted butter.
  • 6. Then add enough milk to make a moist stiff batter.
  • 7. Drop by small teaspoons into the boiling chicken stock.
  • 8. Reduce heat, cover tightly and cook 18 minutes.
  • 9. Some people like to eat like a stew in a bowl, but we like them with mashed potatoes and a vegetable. The stock thickens to make gravy for the potatoes. Enjoy!
  • 10. Just an added note: AFTER the dumplings have cooked, I recently added a can of cream of mushroom soup mixed with a packet of McCormick's chicken gravy. (Make sure you wait until the dumplings are done.) I gently added it between the dumplings. Stir gently and it made the creamiest gravy we have ever had. My husband and grandson just raved that this was the best chicken and dumplings I had ever made.

DUMPLINGS



Dumplings image

My mother was one of the best cooks I ever knew. When she made stews we mostly found dumplings in them. We never ate things from packages or microwaves and you sure could taste what food was. That's the only way I cook today - I don't use any electronic gadgets to cook with except an electric stove.

Time 28m

Yield 24 dumplings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
1 teaspoon salt
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 egg, well beaten
3 tablespoons butter, melted
2/3 cup milk, as needed

Steps:

  • Sift the dry ingredients together.
  • Add the egg, melted butter and enough milk to make a moist, stiff batter.
  • Drop by heaping teaspoons into boiling liquid.
  • Cover and cook for 18 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right flour. All-purpose flour is a good option for dumplings, but you can also use bread flour or a combination of the two. Bread flour will give your dumplings a chewier texture.
  • Use cold water. Cold water will help to keep the dumplings light and fluffy.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing the dough will make the dumplings tough.
  • Let the dough rest. Letting the dough rest for at least 30 minutes will help it to become more elastic and easier to work with.
  • Use a light touch when shaping the dumplings. Don't press down on the dumplings too hard, or they will become dense.
  • Cook the dumplings in a gently simmering liquid. Boiling the dumplings will make them tough.
  • Serve the dumplings immediately. Dumplings are best served fresh out of the pot.

Conclusion:

These light-as-a-feather dumplings are the perfect addition to any soup or stew. They are light, fluffy, and full of flavor. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make these delicious dumplings at home.
