Easy Basic Chicken and Dumplings
This is a super basic recipe. This is really just the Dumplings and the Sauce. If you want vegetables and more spices, dried or fresh you can add them. This is that home-made dumpling recipe and you can modify and add to this recipe as you see fit!
Ingredients:
- 3 cups cooked chicken
- 6-8 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups flour
- 2 Tablespoons butter
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- Salt to taste (I just shake some in)
- 1 cup of milk, maybe a bit less
- Rolling pin
- Pizza cutter
- In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt
- Cut the butter into the dry ingredients with a fork or pastry blender
- Stir in the milk, mixing with a fork until the dough forms a ball
- Heavily flour a work surface. You’ll need a rolling pin and something to cut the dumplings with. I like to use a pizza cutter.
- Use a small spatula to lift the dumplings off the cutting surface
- Roll the dough out thin with a heavily floured rolling pin
- Dip your cutter in flour and cut the dumplings in squares about 2″x2″. It’s okay for them not to be exact. Just eyeball it. Some will be bigger, some smaller, some shaped funny
- Use the floured spatula to put them on a heavily floured plate. Just keep flouring between the layers of dumplings. If they will be cooked soon, this method works well
- Cooking at a later date - Layer them on a cookie sheet with wax paper between and lots of flour
- You can also freeze them like this and then transfer them to a ziplock bag
- Bring the broth to a boil
- Drop the dumplings in one at a time, stirring while you add them, the extra flour on them will help thicken the broth
- Cook the dumplings for about 15-20 minutes or until they not doughy tasting
- Add the cooked chicken to the pot and stir it up
