CHICKEN AND DUMPLIN

Posted by Jacquetta

I was looking at a cookbook from 1966 and came across chicken and dumplin receipe. I had to laugh but I tried it with left over frozen chicken broth I had in the freezer. It is GREAT!! Have to guesstimate measures and time, but well worth the time. Which it does not take any time at all to make.

Rich chicken or turkey broth or stock
Flour

Heat broth or stock to boiling.

( I added some celery, onion and carrots to mine, becuase I had starined it prior to putting in freezer. I added 2 cups of water and 2 chicken bullion cubes also. I also spiced it up with whatever I could get my hands on.)

Put some flour in a bowl. :-) Put in hot broth. :-)

( I started with 2 cups, just me around here, then started ladeling hot broth into the flour until I got the dough to the consistancy of biscuit dough. I also added origional Mrs Dash to the dough, not much just a pinch.)

Roll out and cut in to strips and put in hot broth.

The receipe ends here. Mine continues.

( I put the dough on a lightly floured surface and rolled to 1/8 in. rectangle piece. Cut the dough into strips, as big or little as you want, then add them back to the boiling broth. Turn your heat to medium low or low, and cover with lid. I cooked mine till the dough looked done. In Oklahoma that was about 15 min. If it boils over you have it too hot. }

This is really simple and great! Use canned broth or stock, add canned or cooked chicken. Make it as simple or complicated as you want.
