Southern Chicken N Dumplins

Southern Chicken N Dumplins
little time consuming but well worth it!
(I make this in an 8 qt pot but can be easily adjusted)

Ingredients

2-3 spilt chicken breasts
family size cream of chicken, or 2 smaller ones
5 chicken boulion cubes
1 stick real butter
1/2 gal for enough milk to add to the pot, about 3 cups.
salt and pepper to taste

5 cups flour
2.5 teaspoons salt
6 tablespoons shortening
5 eggs


In a stock pot fill with 1/2 water and boil chicken until done seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

Once done remove chicken and strain homemade broth. DO NOT DUMP THE BROTH! Return to pot and add the boulion cubes and cream of chicken. Once dissolved taste to make sure it is seasoned with salt enough. Bring to medium boil on high-medium heat.

While coming to a boil mix in seperate bowl flour and salt. Cut shortening into flour. Make a well add eggs. Slightly beat them in the well and then combine. It should be crumbly now. Add (with these amounts) about 2 ladles of the boiling broth. It will form a dough ball, don't add too much liquid though or it will be too sticky- go slow!

With broth mixture boiling, working with a handful of dough at a time roll (use lots of flour!) dough until it is 1/4" thin or as thin as you can get. The thinner the better. Cut into squares, strips, or just rip apart into dumplin size pieces and add the broth. Keep going until all is done, pushing dumplins down so they get cooked evenly. Add milk if it starts getting crowded with dumplins.

When done add milk to almost reach the top of pot, about 1 inch from the top. Add stick of butter and deboned chicken. Simmer on low-medium for another 1/2 hour or until dumplins are tender and stir frequently so they won't stick!!

-Feeds my family of 6 for two meals. Do not freeze though. Not very good after 3 days either, just my opinion. to reheat add a little extra liquid (milk or broth) If necessary.

Oh to adjust recipe, do the broth the same but use less boulion, and only one sm. can cream of chicken.

For dumplins the recipe for one batch is:
1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon shortening
1 egg
enough liquid to make dough ball

(I make 5 batches for mine)

**I got this recipe today from a friend...it sounds great and im gonna fix it real soon!

2-EZ Chicken Broccoli Teriyaki

2-EZ Chicken Broccoli Teriyaki

Indgredients

2-3 boneless/skin less chicken breast, cooked and cubed
(SAVE time! Cook chicken when you have another meal using b/s chicken and cube and freeze or put in fridge up to 3 days)
Teriyaki sauce (kikkoman or other)
Steam fresh frozen broccoli
1 onion in slices/chunks

Cooked rice (I LOVE Jasmine)

Spray a fry pan or wok with no stick spray, or use a bit of olive oil, cook onion. Add thawed or cooked chicken.

In micro wave cook brocolli according to directions. Add to pan. Add pepper and tekiyaki sauce (just circle the pan about 3 times)

Stir up good, but don't break the brocolli into mush, and serve over rice.

Serves my family of 6. But you can always freeze the leftovers minus the rice IF YOU STARTED WITH RAW CHICKEN. Wha-lah!

** I just received this recipe from a friend of mine and sounds yummy...I plan to make it in the next month!
