I made some chicken and dumplings this week and they were so good!
4 Large Chicken Breasts (or whole chicken parts cut up)
2 cans reg. sized biscuits (1 can if you aren't a fan of the dumpling)
2-3 peeled sliced carrots
2 stalks sliced celery
1/4 - 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/2 finely chopped onion
-In a very large pot, cook chicken by boiling. Cover generously with water. Throw in all vegetables & parsley. Cook for 30-45 minutes until chicken is done.
- While chicken is cooking prepare dumplings. Cut each biscuit into 4 pieces, roll into flour to make a ball shape. Set dumplings aside
- Reserve broth, remove chicken and cut into bite sized pieces (remove from bone if necessary.) Return chicken to broth mixture. Add dumplings into broth. If necessary add a little water. Cook on medium heat for 10-15 minutes until dumplings are no longer doughy on the inside. They will look a bit doughy on the outside.
- I cut the vegetables, aside from the onion, into big chunks so that the purists in our family could pick them out. Fresh parsley makes all the difference and it's so cheap. The vegetables gave everything a nice flavor and even the kid ate two helpings (once he picked out all the carrots of course.)
