Julias Simple Chicken Dumplings Recipes

Steps:

• Combine chicken broth, chicken breast cubes, onion, carrots, celery, bay leaf, salt, and pepper in a large pot; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover pot, and simmer until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the vegetables are tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Mix baking mix and milk in a bowl until dough is sticky; drop golf ball-sized pieces of dough into the soup. Cover pot and cook until dumplings are cooked through, about 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Place all listed ingredients into stock pot and add just enough water to cover chicken.
• Simmer for approximately 40 minutes or until chicken parts easily from bone.
• Reduce heat to low.
• Remove chicken from pot and allow to cool.
• Separate meat from bones, divide into bite-sized pieces, and set aside.
• Discard bones.
• In a medium bowl, combine flour, water, salt and pepper for dumplings and mix well.
• Dough should be well-defined, barely sticky, and easy to handle by hand: If it is too sticky, add more flour, or if it is crumbling, add more water.
• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll with a rolling pin to 1/8" thickness.
• Return chicken stock to a simmer and add chicken.
• With a sharp knife, cut dumpling dough into stips approximately 1" x 3".
• Add strips to simmering stock, stirring as you add them to keep them from sticking to each other or to the pot.
• Continue to re-roll the dough as needed, cutting dumpling strips and adding them to the stock until all dough is used.
• When stock turns an opaque yellowish-white color and thickens, add milk and stir.
• Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Excess may be frozen in a tupperware container or a doubled ziplock-type container for up to a month.
• Feel free to add up to 2 cups of water for more stock or to even up to double the amount of dumplings to accomodate your needs or tastes.
