Simple Homemade Chicken & Dumplings

(From Our January 2023 Newsletter - Grandma C.)

Ingredients

1. 2½ to 3 cups cooked chicken


2. 8 cups chicken broth


3. 2 cups flour


4. 2 tbsp butter


5. ½ cup fresh shredded carrots


6. ½ tsp parsley flakes


7. ½ tsp garlic salt


8. ½ tsp baking powder


9. 1 cup milk


10. Salt & Pepper to taste

Put chicken broth, garlic salt, pepper, shredded carrots and parsley flakes into a large pot and bring to a boil.

While the broth is coming to a boil, place flour, baking powder. seasonings and salt into a large mixing bowl.

Cut the butter into the flour mixture with a fork, then add the milk, mixing until the dough forms a ball.

Roll out the dough on a heavily floured surface using a floured rolling pin.  Roll it thin, then cut it into 2” squares with a pizza roller.

Use a floured spatula to lift them from the cutting surface and drop them into the broth one at a time.  Boil for approximately 15 — 20 minutes.

Add the cooked chicken to the pot, reduce heat to medium and simmer for 1 — 2 minutes, remove from heat and let it sit for a couple of minutes to thicken, then serve!
