Delaware Farm-style Chicken And Slippery Dumplings

I tried this recipe last weekend and it was very good. The next time I make it I am going to double the dumpling recipe, they are so good. I will leave the chicken broth the same at 4 quarts I think it is plenty.

Delaware Farm-style Chicken And Slippery Dumplings

• Time 2.5 Hours Prep and cook                Serves 6

 

Ingredients

---

1 stewing chicken (about 4 or 5 pounds), cut up

4 celery ribs, chopped

4 carrots, chopped

1 medium onion, chopped

12 oz. package fresh mushrooms, sliced

1 tablespoon chicken bouillon granules

2 teaspoons Poultry seasoning

 

DUMPLINGS:

2 cups flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

3 tablespoons shortening

1/2 cup hot broth

 

How to make it

---

Season chicken with salt and pepper; Place chicken, celery, carrots, mushrooms and onion in a Dutch oven. Cover with water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer until chicken is tender (about 20 minutes per pound).

Remove chicken and keep warm. Add water to measure 4 qts. Set aside 1/2 cup for dumplings. Return remaining broth to the Dutch oven; add Poultry seasoning and bouillon.

For dumplings, in a large bowl combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Cut in the shortening with a pastry blender until the mixture forms fine crumbs. Stir in enough hot broth to make a firm but manageable dough.

Meanwhile, bring broth to a boil. Roll dough to 1/16-in. thickness; cut into 2-in. squares. Drop one at a time into boiling broth. Reheat the broth to boiling over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and cook dumplings uncovered until tender, about 15 minutes. Serve immediately with the chicken.
