Chicken & Dumplins

Best chicken and Dumplings

Ever!

I use chicken breast, use what ever part or all of the chicken, you wish.

Boil chicken with salt and pepper to taste. I add 2 tablespoons chicken bouillon to kick up the broth flavor to a rich tasty broth. Once chicken is done remove it from the pot. Debone or shred if you wish. 

Dumplings:

2 cups a.p.flour

1 t salt

1/2 t baking powder

1 tablespoon sugar

3 tablespoons shortening 

1 egg

Milk

Mix all but the egg and milk till meal like texture, mix egg and a little milk add to flour mix and combine with enough milk to make a thick dough. Turn out on floured surface,knead for a few min. Roll out 1/8 inch thick  slice into pieces the size you want your dumplings  to be. While your broth is at a boil drop in dumplings a few at a time cook about 8 to 10 min.  Mix 1 can cream of mushroom soup with 1/2 c heavy cream and add to pot along with 2/3 stick butter. Stir, now add chicken back to pot, stir, turn off heat let sit 10 to 15 minutes for flavor to marry. ENJOY!!!
