Best Perfect Chicken And Dumplings Recipes

PERFECT CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• Boil the chicken in the water and bouillon cubes.
• You can use any combination of chicken parts, just be sure to use chicken with the skin on.
• When the chicken is done, remove it from the broth and chop the meat into bite sized pieces.
• Take 1 cup of the broth and add the egg and enough flour to make a stiff dough.
• Roll the dough out on a floured surface and cut into strips about 1x2inches.
• (dough should be about 1/8th of an inch thick).
• Drop the strips into the remaining broth (it should be boiling first).
• Simmer them for 30 minutes.
• Add the chicken pieces during the last 5 minutes.
• Add salt and pepper if needed.

ABSOLUTELY PERFECT CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• Chop onion and celery and add them to your chicken broth in a large wide pot. Bring to boil and let simmer about 20 minutes, or until vegetables are tender.
• While veggies are simmering: mix flour, salt and baking soda in a medium sized bowl. In separate small bowl, combine eggs and milk. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir til mixed. (Batter will resemble a thick paste.)
• Once veggies are tender, add chicken to the broth and get the mixture back up to a nice boil. (At this point, I always add water to replace any of the liquid that evaporated during the simmering of the veggies.)
• Using two spoons, gently add "dollops" of the dumpling dough all around the chicken and broth. (Be very careful not to burn yourself from splashing the boiling liquid.) Once you've added all of the dumpling dough all around the pan, put on the lid and turn the heat down to low. Let simmer about five minutes until the dumplings are fully cooked.
• Ladle it up and enjoy!
