How To Make homemade chicken & dumplin's
-
1In a large cooking pot, bring all stock ingredients to a boil. Once boiling, bring down to a simmer for about 45 minutes.
-
2Remove chicken from pot & cool until able to handle. Skin & bone chicken & cut or tear into small pieces.
-
3Strain stock reserving 4 - 5 C or so.
-
4Add chicken & ingredients list for soup. Bring to a simmer while you are preparing the dumplings.
-
5Dumplings can either be made with Bisquick or you make them with the ingredients listed above.
-
6Mix dry ingredients & cut in Crisco, using a pastry blender or two knives.
-
7Add parsley or dill & stir milk in with a wooden fork. Do not overmix.
-
8On a floured surface, roll out dumplin's. Cut into strips & drop into the stock while stirring to assure they cook & do not stick together. Simmer 5 minutes with the lid off, then cover & simmer 15 - 20 minutes longer. Serve immediately.
