Chicken and Dumplings IV

SUBMITTED BY: Carri PHOTO BY: Holly Berry

"The best dumplings are made with baking mix! I've never written down a recipe before so please use your own judgment on the thickening. My husband's mother always did the milk and flour balls in the chicken, he liked mine much better and always asks me to make it. He also loves it when I add more water and rice!"

INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 6 cups water
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups all-purpose baking mix
  • 2/3 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cold water

DIRECTIONS

  1. In a large pot over medium heat, simmer chicken in 6 cups water until no longer pink. Remove chicken, cool and shred.
  2. Return shredded chicken to pot and stir in butter, salt and pepper. Cook until chicken reaches desired tenderness, 15 to 60 minutes.
  3. In a bowl, stir together baking mix and milk until smooth. In a separate bowl, stir together flour and 1/2 cup cold water until smooth. Stir flour mixture into soup; bring soup to a rolling boil.
  4. Drop baking mix mixture by tablespoonfuls into the boiling water, neatly around the chicken. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook, uncovered, 10 minutes. Then cover and cook 10 minutes more. (Sneak a spatula under the dumplings to prevent chicken from sticking to the bottom of the pot.) Serve hot.
