Ingredients




Ingredients:
1½ cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
1 tsp salted butter
¾ c milk
leftover roasted chicken OR 4 cooked chicken breasts, shredded and 3 cans of chicken stock.

Preparation

1 Place your chicken leftover in a pot and turn to medium heat. OR use the chicken breasts and chicken stock. 2 Cover with a lid and wait for boil. 3 In a bowl add the flour, baking powder, and salt. 4 Stir well. 5 Using a fork, blend in the salted butter. 6 Slowly add the milk. 7 When your chicken mixture starts to boil, add dough by spoonfuls allowing it to rest on chicken and vegetables. You don’t want it to sink. 8 Turn down the heat to medium-low and cover. 9 Let steam cook the dumplings for about 15-20 minutes. 10 If you have any leftover dumpling mixture you can freeze it for future use.

About

This recipe has been handed down from my great-grandmother and it’s been a favorite of mine for years. It's perfect for fall weather, easy on the budget, and will fill you up with a small portion. 
It all starts with a great roasted chicken recipe which you can find on my website.
