SAVORY CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS # 2 - CASSIES

Steps:

• 1. In a large stock pot; cover chicken with water to half way full. (I used my 12 quart stock pot.) So, with the addition of the chicken, the water came to the half way mark. Add the thyme, sage, bay leaves and vegetables, butter and bring to a full boil. Reduce heat to medium high, and simmer till chicken is cooked; about 1 hour 15 minutes.
• 2. Remove chicken and bay leaves from the broth; set aside to cool. Meanwhile, add more water to the broth if needed to maintain 6 quarts worth of liquid. Now; add the bouillon paste, stirring to dissolve.Taste and add more seasonings if needed. Keep broth hot on low and begin to make your dumplings.
• 3. Dumplings: I used my food processor. If using a processor, add the flour, baking powder, salt...pulse a few times. now add the butter; pulse 5 - 6 times, then add the milk...pulse till forms a ball.
• 4. No processor method: 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 until the dough forms a ball.
• 5. Heavily flour a work surface. ( I cut dough into fourths.) Roll the dough out thin with a heavily floured rolling pin. Dip your cutter in flour and cut the dumplings in squares about 2 x 2 . It's okay for them not to be exact. Some will be bigger, some smaller...
• 6. Use a floured spatula to put them on a heavily floured plate. Just keep flouring between the layers of dumplings.
• 7. To cook them, 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 for about 15-20 minutes or until they are not doughy tasting.
• 8. While dumplings are cooking; de-bone the chicken. Chop or I used my fingers to pull the chicken apart, into bite sizes chunks, or whatever you prefer.
• 9. Add the cooked chicken to the pot and you're ready to serve. The chicken and dumplings thicken up as they cool...to reheat, just add a little water. I served mine with corn bread and pinto beans.

OLD FASHIONED CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• In a large pot place chicken pieces and add the chicken stock, onion, celery and 2 teaspoons of the salt. Put heat on medium low and simmer, partially covered, 15 to 20 minutes or until chicken is tender.
• To Prepare Dumplings: In a large mixing bowl beat together the egg and milk. Add 1 cup flour, remaining salt and baking powder and mix all together. Cut the butter into the flour mixture until the mixture is crumbly. Add 1 tablespoon of the parsley and mix. In 6 large spoonfuls, drop dumpling mixture onto the top of the simmering chicken. Cover the pot and let all simmer for 10 minutes more.
• To Make Gravy: Remove chicken and dumplings to a large serving bowl. Cover and set aside, keeping warm. Strain the stock left in the pot, pressing out any 'veggie liquid'. Return stock to pot. Combine water with remaining flour, then stir into the strained stock. Bring all to a boil, stirring constantly, to thicken. Return chicken and dumplings to pot, combing all gently. Serve with remaining parsley.
