Mamas Chicken And Dumplings Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Kitchenmouse / All my dishes 1 year, 10 months ago My mother was a wiz in the kitchen and when I was married she shared this little recipe with me. It is a hit with my husband and kids and always makes me think of her. The dumplings are rolled out like pastry. It's very good and you can adjust it as you please....

Ingredients

1 fryer (3-4lbs)

Water to cover

1 can chicken broth

2 C. flour

1 stick Margarine or Butter, cold

1/4 cup milk

1 egg

Salt

Pepper

Lemon Pepper

Directions

For Chicken:

Place chicken in Dutch oven add water to cover

Boil until chicken is done

Remove from heat and remove chicken to dish to cool

Set Broth aside

Remove skin and bones from chicken and chop chicken meat in bite size pieces. Set aside as you prepare dumplings.

For Dumplings:

Place flour in medium bowl

Add Margarine

Cut Margarine into flour until it resembles corn meal

Cut egg into mixture

Gradually add milk until mixture is soft, but not sticky and can be easily handled.

Roll dough into a ball

Place on flour dusted waxed paper

Roll in a square until dough is 1/4 inch thick or a little thinner if you like.

Cut into 2" wide strips then, cut across making a 2" square dumpling.

Meanwhile skim fat off chicken broth and add canned broth to it.

Cook on medium heat until mixture begins to boil lightly

Add dumplings, one at a time

Add Salt, Pepper and Lemon Pepper to taste

Let cook about 20 minutes

Add chicken cook an additonal 20 to 25 minutes or until dumplings are cooked through.

(I always take one out and sneak a "taste")

Serve hot and refrigerate all leftovers.
