Better Than Grannys And Easy Chicken And Dumplings Recipes

Steps:

• Place chicken and 1 pinch salt in a large pot; cover with water. Bring to a boil, skimming any scum off the surface with a slotted spoon. Add lemon, celery, onion, and carrots. Simmer broth over medium heat until chicken starts to fall off the bone, about 1 hour.
• Discard lemon. Remove chicken from the pot; let cool.
• Place flour, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Make a well in the center. Ladle in 2 to 3 scoops of hot broth. Mix in flour with a spoon until dough comes together into a ball.
• Turn dough out onto a floured surface. Knead carefully until smooth. Roll out into a large rectangle; cut into small rectangular dumplings.
• Drop dumplings one at a time into the simmering broth. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 30 minutes.
• Bone chicken and chop into pieces. Add to the pot; cook until heated through, about 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Mix flour and shortening together in a bowl until it resembles cornmeal.
• Slightly beat egg and milk together in a separate bowl. Add to flour mixture and stir to form a ball of dough. Place onto a floured surface; knead and roll as thin as possible using a floured rolling pin. Let dough stand for 2 hours.
• Place chicken into a large pot and add water to just cover. Bring to a boil over high heat and continue to boil until chicken is no longer pink in the center and meat falls off of the bone, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Remove chicken from the pot; strain broth and return to the pot. Add 2 cups water and bouillon. Remove meat from bones and return to broth. Add celery, carrots, and onion. Bring to a boil; continue to boil for 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cut dough into strips, approximately 1-inch wide. Tear strips and drop into boiling broth. Continue to boil for 10 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper and serve.

Steps:

• In large pot, bring chicken, broth, soup, pepper and poultry seasoning to a boil.
• Then reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes.
• In the meantime, lightly flour a piece of waxed paper and a rolling pin (or a round drinking glass works). Also lay out a clean piece of waxed paper to put on after rolling.
• Take two biscuits and roll out in circle to 1/8 inch thickness. Lay them on the other piece of waxed paper.
• Repeat with all biscuits. Then take a knife and slice the circles into one inch strips.
• Bring pot back to a low boil. Pick up each strip and pull into 1 1/2 to 2 inch pieces and drop into broth on low boil.
• Stir gently to prevent them sticking together.
• Simmer for ten minutes.

Steps:

• Combine the first 6 ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer. Cook until chicken is done.
• Remove from broth and cool. You will use 2 c of this broth in the preparation!
• Remove from bones if needed.
• Saute the vegetables, except peas in a little butter or oil, until soft.
• Melt the 1/4 cup butter and pour into the 9x13 dish, to grease the bottom.
• Cut or tear the chicken into pieces and place on top of the melted butter.
• Mix flour and milk; pour over chicken.
• Mix soup, 2 cups of the broth, the sauteed vegetables and peas (if using).
