OLD-FASHIONED CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS RECIPE

I mean it go down there two chicken house and grab them one up maybe have a little milk to put in their bull it up there is it was good even got them to the lot of tough time chicken and dumplings to me as a recipe that when you sit down with family at something special and that's what we're going to create today is a very special chicken and dumpling recipe made out of old traditional dumplings know there was all kinds of things you could use for dumplings and I've used canned biscuits I've used tortillas that you just cut up a little yeah the ones right out of the sack flour tortillas program in their pants off some of them can biscuits if you won't do that 

I used Pillsbury pie crust just cut them a little pieces folding them over where there's a little thicker throw them in there in just an old traditional dumpling recipe has been in my family for a long time it has soap without any further Ado let's get to this deal I have for 7 oz chicken breast as y'all so before I'm dumped him and me some hot water add a little salt too it blow them up till they get good and tender we used to use a whole chicken and do that but I do love me a chicken breast that way and got a bone nothing out when I'm finished this thing is just falls apart for Tinder so it is ready to go it is cooled off we going to cut it up into somebody's size pieces and you might be thinking my God where did you get that late night was it Paul Bunyan I like to get a hold of me some chicken when I reach down in them to get me a bite so you can see pokes when 

I say right size that's pretty well what I'm talking about for me cuz some of this is going to flake off as if it continues to some of this is going to fight and fall off in the bottom of that pot as we're cooking but you going to have to steal a good chunk pull out of there so me like this burner back get things back to go in and woke did y'all see that that just snuck up here remember quality control folks got a note will it work so so that's little saucepan over that we got about six cups of that chicken broth left in there we're going to add a half a stick of unsalted butter cream a little bit of salt and pepper to taste dump a chicken back in there give it a good old Story cover it and we're going to let it cook 20 to 25 minutes and while it is cooking you know what we're going to do we going to make us some dumpling start out with two cups of all-purpose flour and people always laughing at me if not flutter can't is flyer well here it is flyer I promise put his in about 3 teaspoons full of baking powder cuz I want to give him a little jump I do three tablespoons of oil after

Ingredients

3 cups chicken, cooked and shredded

2 quarts chicken broth

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 tsp baking powder

2 tbsp cold salted butter, cubed

1 cup milk

Instructions

STEP1, Preheat oven to 350F degrees.

STEP2, Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.

STEP3, Drizzle a little olive oil on the chicken and season with salt and pepper.

STEP4, Bake for about 45 minutes.

STEP5, Once the chicken is cooked, shred it with two forks.

STEP6, Pour 2 quarts of chicken stock or broth into a large pot and start warming it up on the stove top while you make the dumplings..

STEP7, In a medium bowl, combine flour and baking powder. Then add in cubed butter.

STEP8, Combine using your fingers, fork or pastry cutter.

STEP9, Pour in the milk. Mix it all together.

STEP10, Dust your counter with a generous amount of flour. Place dumpling dough on the counter and dust it with more flour.

STEP11, With a rolling pin, roll the dough out to about 1/4" thickness.

STEP12, Be sure to add flour as necessary to keep it from sticking underneath or to your rolling pin.

STEP13, Using a knife or a pizza cutter, start cutting out your dumplings into squares.

STEP14, Dust dumplings with a bit more flour. The extra flour is all gonna help keep them from sticking but will also thicken your chicken broth some as well when you add them to the pot.

STEP15, Bring chicken broth up to a boil. Add in shredded chicken and stir.

STEP16, Begin adding dumplings one at a time so they don't all stick together. Stir frequently while adding them.

STEP17, Allow dumplings to cook for about 15-20 minutes. You should notice your broth starting to thicken (from the extra flour) and your dumplings may start to sink a little to the bottom because they are soaking up the broth. Take one out and taste test it. It shouldn't have a doughy taste anymore.
