Chicken & Dumplings

I took a 6-week cooking class a few years ago and learned so much! I wouldn’t even be able to guess what would be in a dish like Chicken & Dumplings. Well I learned that it’s literally one of the easiest things you can make. Don’t wait til someone is sick to try making it. There’s something super satisfying about watching this dish thicken from the flour on the dumplings.

Chicken & Dumplings

I never knew how easy these were to make!

Prep time: 15 MinCook time: 30 MinTotal time: 45 Min

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 - 2 lbs. chicken thighs, cut into bite-size pieces
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1 cup water
• 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth

Instructions

1. Combine flour, salt and pepper. Add water a little bit at a time until you can form a soft dough. Set aside.
2. In a Dutch Oven, bring chicken broth to a simmer over medium heat.
3. While broth is heating, sprinkle flour on countertop or pastry mat and roll dough out until it's about 1/4-inch thick. Cut dough into strips and then into 1 1/2-inch strips, for dumplings.
4. Once the broth is simmering, reduce heat and add dumplings. Stir to make sure they don't stick to the bottom.
5. Add chicken pieces. Stir occasionally until chicken is cooked through and broth has thickened considerably. Salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

You can keep the pot on low and stir occasionally, for an hour or so until you are ready to serve.  You may need to add a little broth if it cooks down too much.
