9. Here it is...

Chicken and Dumplings

Ingredients:

1 whole Chicken (3 - 3 1/2 lbs)
2 cups of flour
1 tsp of salt
1 tsp baking powder
2 cups chicken broth

Directions:
Boil chicken until it's ready to fall off the bone (usually about hour to an hour and a half)

In a medium bowl (about 15-20 before the chicken is done) combine flour, salt, baking powder, and broth from the boiling chicken. Mix together until you have a sticky dough (in some cases you may need to add more broth if dough isn't sticky).

Flour counter surface and roll out dough. It doesn't have to be perfect just make sure it isn't very thin or extremely thick. Cut dough into squares using a pizza cutter or knife.

Remove chicken from broth, add about two cups of water if there isn't a lot of liquid left in the pot, and place on plate. Let the liquid come to a simmering boil and drop the dumplings in the water. Stir occasionally so the water doesn't boil over. While the dumplings are cooking shred the chicken into small pieces, toss the bones and skin, and add the shredded chicken back into the pot. Let simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes to let the sauce thicken and everything mix together.

Thickening Tip: add a spoonful of flour to a small (1/8 cup) amount of milk and stir until flour is dissolved and add to pot to thicken sauce.

Quick Cooking Tip: add two cans of refrigerated biscuits cut into four pieces each and add to water instead of homemade dumplings.

19. Thanks, texas1928

The secret is simmering the dumplings, shredded chicken and broth together. Sounds delicious without seasoning!
