Old Fashioned Chicken & Dumplings



Old Fashioned Chicken & Dumplings


Ingredients

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves cubed
2 small cans organic chicken broth
1 onion, finely diced
4 med cut carrots cut on a diagonal
2 stalks of cut celery

Directions


Place the chicken,broth, onion,carrots and celery in a pot on the stovetop, and cover.
Cook about 30 minutes, drain off the broth into another pan to thicken for gravy.
Mix up 1/3 cup flour and water in a shaker container until runny then wait until the broth
is boiling and pour in the flour and water mixture while whisking .
Return gravy back into the original pot and bring back to a slow bubble.

Mix up the Dumplings:  recipe makes 6 dumplings
1cup flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup milk
1/2 tsp salt
1 TBS margarine

Directions

Stir together flour, baking powder, and salt in medium size bowl. Cut in butter until crumbly.
Stir in milk to make a soft dough. Drop by spoonfuls into boiling stew. Cover and simmer 
without lifting lid. Dumplings will look wet on the outside but will be dry on the inside when 
cooked. So test the insides for doneness. 
You will love these once you make them. 
So will everyone at the table.
