Chipotle Chicken With Dumpling Noodles Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Blend first 4 ingredients in blender until smooth.
• Cook chicken in Dutch oven or deep large skillet on medium heat 3 min. on each side or until browned on both sides. Remove from pan; discard pan drippings. Add potatoes and onions to pan; cook 3 min., stirring frequently. Return chicken to pan. Add chipotle sauce; stir to evenly coat. Cover.
• Cook on low heat 20 min. or until chicken is done (165ºF) and potatoes are tender. Top with cilantro.

Steps:

• Place all ingredients except the celery, cream and dumplings into a large pot, bring to just a boil and reduce heat to a very slow simmer. A bigger chicken will require a little more water.
• Cover and simmer very slow for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, until chicken is falling apart and a rich broth is produced.
• Carefully remove chicken to a platter and allow to cool enough to separate the meat from the bone, cartilage and skin. Be sure to remove all chicken parts from the broth.
• Optional-I like to place the bones back into the broth and simmer slowly, covered for another hour then remove or strain broth through a colander, this is optional but will richen the broth.
• After making sure all bones and chicken parts are removed from pot, tear chicken meat into course pieces and place back into pot.
• Add celery and simmer until the celery is almost done, about 15 or 20 minutes. Add cream and stir.
• Make the dumplings, mix dry ingredients, shred potato to 3/4 cup softly packed, then squeeze out as much liquid as you can, add to dry ingredients and mix well with a fork. (I like fairly dense dumplings, for fluffier dumplings add 1 teaspoon more baking powder.).
• Add the milk and butter, mix until just blended, sometimes because of the potato I have to add a tablespoon or so of more flour, you want biscuit dough consistency.
• Drop by spoonful into the soup, remember they will swell a bit, about double.
• Cover and simmer for 10 minutes, check the dumplings, you may need additional time for the potato to cook (just 4 or 5 minutes), taste a dumpling, there should be no crunchy raw potato.
• If the pot becomes overcrowded with dumplings, stop and place dough covered in the refrigerator, after serving you can replenish the soup with dumplings for seconds or leftovers.
• Add ins - 1 cup of diced carrots may be added in right before the celery if wished. 1/2 cup of sweet peas may also be added right before the dumplings, then you have Deluxe Chicken and Dumplings.

• Cooke noodles in a pot of boiling, lightly salted water. Cook according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

• Add flour and stir, adding small amounts of chicken broth to thicken.
• Add soup and 1 cup of chicken broth. Make your dumplings now.
• Add noodles, chicken and vegies.

Steps:

• Combine chopped chile peppers with 2 tablespoons sour cream. Mix together and spread mixture over chicken breasts. Sprinkle lightly with salt to taste, cover and marinate in refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
• Place marinated chicken in an ungreased 9x13 inch baking dish and broil for about 5 minutes (rack should be about 6 inches from the top.) Pour 1 cup sour cream around edges of chicken and turn over chicken breasts. Broil for an additional 5 minutes. Sour cream should be lightly brown on the edges. Move breasts into a separate dish and cover to keep warm. Set aside.
• Pour leftover broiled sour cream into a medium saucepan over high heat. Add spinach, broth and salt to taste. Boil for about 1 minute until all melted and mixed together. Pour mixture over chicken breasts and serve.

Steps:

• In a 3-qt. slow cooker, combine the first 14 ingredients; add chicken. Cook, covered, on low 3-4 hours or until chicken is tender (a thermometer should read at least 165°)., Remove chicken from slow cooker. Shred with 2 forks; return to slow cooker. Using tongs, place chicken mixture on bun bottoms and if desired, top with pickle slices. Replace tops. Freeze option: Freeze cooled meat mixture and sauce in freezer containers. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Heat through in a saucepan, stirring occasionally.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, saute onion in oil for 3-4 minutes or until tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in the broth, chicken, celery, carrots and sage. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until vegetables are tender., In a small bowl, combine the dumpling ingredients. Drop heaping tablespoonfuls of batter onto simmering soup. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in a dumpling comes out clean (do not lift cover while simmering).

Steps:

• In a large, heavy walled, pan with well fitting lid, put your whole chicken, breast side down, and the giblets, into the pan and season with Adobo powder. Add water until just the back of the chicken is not covered. Place lid, and boil chicken on high, adding water as needed, until the bird falls apart when poked with a cooking spoon. About 45 minutes. [You could substitue boneless chicken breasts to save time, and use chicken broth to get a rich broth.]
• Use a slotted spoon to pull out all meat and bones, and giblets out of the broth, let cool on a platter. I had left about 1/4 of the pans height broth still in the pan, added 1 tea kettle worth cold water. Add more Adobo powder if needed and grind black pepper corns over the broth, add the minced garlic and chopped cilantro and onions and chipotle peppers. Bring broth back up to a boil.
• Break apart the chicken into the broth carefully, slice up the giblets if you'd like into the pot, remove the frozen dumpling sticks from freezer, work quickly to snap them of into pieces about 1" long into the broth [if they start thawing they stick together]continue cooking at a slow boil until the dumplings have cooked where they are plumping, adding small amounts of water to keep some liquid in the pan. You don't need to put the lid back on the pan. This takes about 30 minutes.
• Add the chunks of potatoes carefully, and turn heat down to a simmer and cook until potatoes are done and most of the liquid is cooked down. Serve after letting pot cool down a little.
