Chicken and Dumplings
Why I Love This Recipe
Your typical Chicken and Dumplings recipe. One of the first recipes I got from my grandmother when I moved out. Always a family favorite and great comfort food.
Ingredients You'll Need
Chicken:
1 Whole Chicken
1 Bay Leaf
Garlic to taste
1/4 teaspoon cumin
Salt & Pepper to taste
1/4 teaspoon poultry seasoning
Veggies
chopped carrots
potatoes
onions
broccoli
turnip
corn
celery
Directions
Chicken:
Place all ingredients in a pot of water and simmer for about an hour or until chicken is tender. Remove chicken from pot and cool. Put broth in the frig to cool completely. Skim fat off the top. Remove chicken from the bones and set aside
Stock:
Add to stock your choice of veggies. You may need to add more of the above seasoning to the stock for added flavor, as well as some poultry bouillon. Sometimes add italian seasoning for an added twist. Simmer until veggies are done. Add chicken to the stock.
For the dumplings, I use the recipe on the box of Bisquick. If your family loves dumplings, you might consider 1 1/2 - 2 times the recipe. Add some garlic and or italian seasoning to the dumplings if you'd like.
