Chicken And Dumplins Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Chicken

   In a large pot, place the whole chicken and cover it with water. Add the chopped onion, carrots, celery, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

2. 2

   Simmer the Chicken

   Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer for about 1 hour, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

3. 3

   Remove Chicken

   Carefully remove the chicken from the pot and let it cool. Strain the broth into a separate bowl and discard the vegetables.

4. 4

   Make Dumpling Dough

   In a bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. In another bowl, combine the milk and melted butter. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.

5. 5

   Shred Chicken

   Once the chicken is cool enough to handle, remove the skin and bones, and shred the meat into bite-sized pieces.

6. 6

   Cook Dumplings

   Bring the strained broth back to a gentle boil. Drop spoonfuls of the dumpling dough into the boiling broth. Cover and cook for about 15 minutes, or until the dumplings are puffed and cooked through.

7. 7

   Combine and Serve

   Add the shredded chicken back into the pot with the dumplings. Stir gently and serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley.
