Chicken and Dumplings

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a large pot, bring the chicken stock to a simmer. Add the shredded chicken breast and cook for about 15-20 minutes until heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  2. 2

    Make the Dumpling Batter

    In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, milk, and melted butter. Mix until just combined.

  3. 3

    Drop the Dumplings

    Using a spoon, drop the dumpling batter into the simmering chicken stock. Cover the pot and let the dumplings cook for about 15 minutes without lifting the lid.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Corn Muffins

    In another bowl, mix cornmeal, sugar, baking soda, salt, milk, egg, and melted butter until smooth. Pour into a greased muffin tin and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes until golden.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Once the dumplings are cooked and the muffins are baked, serve the chicken and dumplings hot with a corn muffin on the side.
