Chicken and Dumplings
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 whole chicken, cut into pieces
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 onion, diced
- 3 carrots, sliced
- 3 celery stalks, sliced
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup milk
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- In a large pot, bring the chicken pieces and 8 cups of water to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pot and let it cool. Once cooled, shred the chicken meat and discard the bones.
- In a separate bowl, mix 2 cups of flour, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 1/2 cup of milk to form a dough. Roll the dough out on a floured surface and cut it into small squares to make the dumplings.
- In the same pot used to cook the chicken, melt 1/2 cup of butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery, and cook until the vegetables are tender.
- Pour in 4 cups of chicken broth and bring to a boil. Drop the dumplings into the boiling broth, stirring gently to prevent sticking. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the dumplings are cooked through.
- Stir in the shredded chicken, 1 cup of milk, and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy!
