Chicken And Dumplings are Mmmmm Good!



If you're looking for an Easy Chicken And Dumpling Recipe then you've come to the right place.

I love dumplings, but I got tired of making them because of the mess and the time it took to make them. Now I make them a lot more often then I used to because a friend of mine shared a secret to making quick, mess free dumplings.

Are you tired of making chicken and dumplings from scratch?

Instructions For Easy Chicken And Dumplings

Heeeeere chicken, chicken, chicken...

Chicken

1)Boil the chicken until done and remove from the pot to cool. Salt and pepper the broth to taste.

2) When the chicken is cool, remove meat from the bone and cut in small pieces and add to the broth.

3) Cut up the boiled eggs and put them in the broth. Or you can crack raw eggs directly into the broth for a consistency more like egg drop soup. (I prefer the boiled eggs.)

4) Add some water to the pot if need be. The broth mixture should be about ¾ the way up in a 2qt pot. Bring to a boil.

5) Cut the tortillas into strips ( for the dumplings) and drop them a few at the time into the pot. Once they are all in, reduce the heat and simmer until the dumplings reach a consistency you like. I like mine thick (they thicken up as they sit, once they've been taken off the heat.)

6) If you want to add some veggies to the mix you can mix in a can of sweet peas in once the dumplings are almost finished. (At times I also add a can of mixed veggies, but I prefer to use the peas.)

Check the seasoning and season to taste.
