Granny's Chicken and Dumplings


Chicken

Cook chicken in plenty of water for stock, do not remove skin. Place chicken, onion, bouillon, salt, pepper, and accent, thyme and parsley(optional) in water and cook at a low boil for 30 to 45 minutes, or you can use an insta-pot until meat begins to fall off the bones. Remove chicken to cool. Prepare dumplings and set them aside for a few minutes to dry out. Bring broth to a boil and lightly drop dumplings in boiling broth, try not to stir, you can shake the pot in a circular position to assure dumplings are covered with stock. Cook the dumplings until tender, adding cream of chicken soup, some heavy whipping cream and butter let cook about 5 min gently stirring, then add 2 beaten eggs (optional)and chicken, continue to simmer, lightly stir to keep from sticking to pot. If desired, you can thicken the stock a little by mixing 2 tablespoons cornstarch with 1/4 cup of water and adding it to the stock.. Cook until the dumplings float and are no longer doughy. Do not overcook.

Dumplings

Put flour/salt mixture in a mixing bowl. Beginning in center of flour, pour a small amount of ice water. Work mixture with fingers from center of bowl to sides of bowl, incorporating small amounts of water at a time. Continue until all flour is used up. Dough will feel as if it is going to be tough. Knead dough and form into ball. Dust a good amount of flour onto surface and rolling pin. Roll out dough, working from center. Dough will be firm. Roll to 1/8” thinness. Let it air-dry for a few minutes while you return your broth to a boil.
Note : Annie’s Frozen dumplings are very similar to homemade if you don’t have time to make them. Also, you can use rotisserie chicken and store-bought broth to make it easier and cornstarch with water instead of cream of chicken.
