Dazzlin' Chicken -n- Dumplin's

By: Kari 
"This is a heartier version (whole wheat dumplings) to a down-home Southern comfort food. Delicious and easy, sticks to the ribs, and keeps you full for a while. We enjoy having strawberry shortcake for dessert with this meal!"

Original Recipe Yield 6 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 6 chicken breast halves
  • 4 cups water, or as needed to cover
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon dried sage
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  •  
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, divided
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 1/4 cups heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley

Directions

  1. Place the chicken breasts into a large soup pot, cover with water, and sprinkle in the salt, black pepper, and sage. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat and simmer until the chicken is no longer pink inside, about 30 minutes. Remove the chicken to a bowl, and let cool; shred chicken when cooled.
  2. While chicken is cooling, bring the chicken broth left in the pot back to a boil over medium heat, and stir in the celery, onion powder, and garlic powder. Reduce heat to a simmer, and cook until the celery is tender, about 20 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, whisk 1 cup of all-purpose flour, the whole wheat flour, salt, and baking powder together in a mixing bowl. Stir in the cream to make a dough. Sprinkle a work surface with the remaining 1/4 cup of flour, and roll the dough out about 1/4-inch thick. Using a pizza cutter, cut the dough into 1 1/2 inch squares. Toss the dumplings in the flour on the work surface.
  4. Drop the dumplings, a few at a time, into the simmering broth. Stir frequently to keep them from sticking to the bottom; allow to simmer until the dumplings puff up and the broth thickens, about 30 minutes; stir in the cooked shredded chicken and parsley. Bring back to a boil, and serve hot in bowls.
