I hope that you'll try and then enjoy my Chicken and Dumplings! TONI'S CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS
I've been making these wonderful Chicken and Dumplings forever it seems. I've never met a person who didn't like them. In fact, I've never made them for anyone who did not come back for seconds and thirds.
ENJOY! But of course, in moderation.
CHICKEN INGREDIENTS:
1 whole Chicken
6 Chicken Thighs
8 cups Water
2 Carrots, cut into slices
1 green Bell Pepper
1 Onion, quartered
5 cloves Garlic, crushed
2 ribs Celery, cut in half
2 Bay Leaves
1/4 tsp. dried Basil
Salt, Black Pepper, Cayenne Pepper, to taste Parsley for Garnish
DUMPLING INGREDIENTS
1 teaspoon Salt
1 1/2 sticks Butter or Margarine
Hot Chicken Broth 1/2 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
Cooking the Chicken Dumplings:
1. Rinse the chicken inside and out as well as the thighs very well under running cold water.
2. Place the chicken, water, vegetables and seasonings in a large pot and bring to boil. (Save the slices
of one carrot for adding to broth later in the cooking.) No need to cut veggies.
3. Turn the heat down to low and cook slowly for about one hour to 1 1/2 hours. Chicken will be very tender.
4. Remove the chicken and allow to cool. When cool enough, remove the meat from the bones. Cut into large pieces.
Discard the bones.
5. Strain the chicken broth and return to the pot. You may discard the vegetables or puree them and return the puree
to the pot. This promotes a broth that is even more rich in taste.
6. Heat the broth.
7. In a large bowl, sift 4 cups of flour once. Add the salt and mix into flour.
8. Add the butter or margarine, your preference. (No need to cut into pieces)
9. Slowly pour very hot chicken broth over the butter or margarine, one cup at a time.
10. You will need to add enough broth to the mixture until the dough leaves the sides of the bowl.
11. Flour your working surface generously to roll out the dough. This dough is very
sticky so use as much
flour as needed to insure no sticking when rolling out. The additional flour helps to thicken the broth.
12. Roll 1/4 or 1/3 of the dough at a time to about 1/8-inch to 1/4-inch thickness.
13. Cut dumplings into 2-inch squares and begin dropping the dumplings into the boiling broth.
14. After adding all of the dumplings, add the slices of carrot and reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered for about 20 to 25 minutes.
Add the chicken pieces back in with the dumplings. Allow the chicken to warm in the dumplings until heated
through, about 5 minutes or so. Sprinkle in a little chopped parsley.

Oh boy! What a beautiful kitchen our Poser Toni has! And she is posed just to perfection! It's obvious she loves to cook, she's got a SMILE for crying out loud, on her face, in the kitchen!! Something you will only find on my face when I'm in my kitchen is if I'm serving something take-out and didn't have to cook it!!
