My Mama's Chicken and Dumplin's
A partial photo tutorial (because sometimes I'm lazy).

1. Gather ingredients

2. Cook the chicken. This might take a while. When finished cooking remove chicken from the pot. Tear or chop. Add chicken bullion or poultry seasoning (best option) to the broth.


3. Mix the dry ingredients together for the dumplings. Slowly add the canned chicken broth or 2 cups of broth from the cooking pot after the chicken is cooked and removed from the pot. Mix well. It should be the consistency of a biscuit dough.

4. Flour the board, counter, or whatever surfaces that you'll be using. Flour your rolling pin too.

5. Dump your dough on the board, knead a little to cost with flour. Make certain that there is enough for still on the board. Roll flat and about an 1/8th an inch thick; it will of up while cooking. Cut into strips about 1.5 inches thick and either square or rectangular in length.

6. Make certain that the pot of broth is boiling and slowly drop the strips into the pot. Cook until the dough is no longer dense in the outside. The dough will be lighter in color when they are done cooking.
