Old Fashion Chicken and Dumplings

In the good ol' day's Mom made Chicken and Dumplings. MY FAVORITE--next to Tuna Cheese Swirls!! I made it tonight. It was a hit! So YUMMY! So here is the recipe. Taken from Ferron Nursing Home Cookbook 2002 - by: Becky Nelson (I haven't found a better recipe)

1 whole chicken or parts (I used chicken tenders)

Add enough water to cover chicken. Boil until done. Remove to cool. Bring back to boil.

Add:

5-6 Carrots, sliced

5-6 Celery Stalks, sliced

2 Onions, chopped

I added (3 cloves of Garlic)

Cook until done. Meanwhile de-bone Chicken and cut into pieces. Add to broth.

Add Chicken Bouillon, poultry seasoning, salt and pepper to taste.

Lightly thicken

Dumplings:

1 Cup Flour

2 tsp. Baking Powder

2 TBL. Parsley

1 Egg

1/4 C. Milk

2 TBL. Oil

1/2 tsp. Salt

Combine dry ingredients. Combine Eggs, Milk, and Oil. Add to dry ingredients until combined. Drop by TBL. into boiling broth.

VERY IMPORTANT* COVER AND COOK FOR 12-15 minutes. DO NOT LIFT LID Dumplings should be light and fluffy. MMMMMmmmmmm

In place of dumpling you can add Noodles, either packaged or homemade.
