NAN'S CHICKEN AND DUMPLINS by NanSC (as made by dutchmom4)
Why I Love This Recipe
I had never made flat dumplings until Nan gave me her recipe. AND, this was the first time I spotted them in a local grocery store. Definitely comfort food and perfect with tossed salad.
Ingredients You'll Need
2 to 3 stalks, finely diced and briefly sautéed
2 quarts chicken stock

12 ounces frozen flat dumplins
3 to 4 cups cooked chicken breast or turkey breast, coarsely chopped (OR, 1 whole rotisserie chicken)

Sauté diced celery in Dutch oven. Add chicken stock, soup, poultry seasoning, and ground pepper. Whisk to combine. Bring to boil, stirring frequently. Boil 2 to 3 minutes.
