Chicken Recipes

Chicken and dumplings

Ingredients :
1 large chicken – boiled, skinned, and deboned
1 carton of chicken broth
1 can cream of chicken soup
3 Tablespoon of flour
1 package of frozen dumplings
Season to taste (I like using garlic and herb seasonings with sea salt)

Instructions:
while your chicken is cooking in the pot thaw the dumplings by laying them on the counter. They will be easier to work with if thawed.
In a large boiler pot, boil the chicken until it is falling off the bones. Remove the chicken and all the bones, but be careful because it will be very hot.
while the chicken is cooling, add the carton of chicken broth to the broth already in the pot.
continue to heat the broth until it is slowly boiling.
Add you cream of chicken soup
slowly add your deboned chicken back into the pot.
mix your little bit of flour to a small cup or bowl of water and mix well.
add your flour mixture to your pot of chicken and broth.
slowly add your thawed dumplings (one or two at a time and stir)
Season with your garlic and herb seasonings
let simmer until the dumplings are done (about 20 to 25 minutes)

This also goes good with cornbread
