Equipment
- Stewing Kettle
Ingredients
- 1 large chicken cut into pieces
- A handful of parsley
- 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- For Dumplings:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- ⅔ cup milk
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons butter
Instructions
- In a large stewing kettle or pot, place the chicken pieces along with a handful of parsley, poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste.
- Add enough water to cover the chicken completely.
- Bring the water to a simmer over medium heat.
- Once simmering, reduce the heat to low and let the chicken simmer for about 4 hours or until it is tender and cooked through.
- In the meantime, prepare the dumplings:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Cut in the butter using your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add the milk, stirring until a soft dough forms.
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface until it is very thin, about 1/8 inch thick.
- Cut the dough into strips, about 1 inch by 2 inches in size.
- Once the chicken is tender, carefully remove it from the pot and set it aside.
- Increase the heat to bring the broth to a gentle boil.
- Drop the dumpling strips into the hot broth, making sure they are submerged.
- Cover the pot and steam the dumplings for 10 minutes or until they are cooked through and fluffy.
- While the dumplings are cooking, shred the cooked chicken meat.
- Once the dumplings are cooked, return the shredded chicken to the pot.
- Serve hot, spooning chicken and dumplings into bowls, and ladling some broth over the top.
