Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 c water or low-sodium/fat chicken broth
1 small onion, cut into wedges
1 small carrot, cut into 4 pieces
1 small stalk celery, cut into 4 pieces
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
2 whole boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into large bite-size pieces
1 1/2 c cake flour or a.p. flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 Tbsp shortening or butter
2/3 c skim milk
1 can(s) 10.75 oz. can condensed 99% fat-free cream of chicken soup with 1/3 less salt
1 Tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Steps:

  • 1. In a dutch oven, combine water, onion, carrot, celery, salt and pepper and bring to a boil. Add chicken; return to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer until chicken is tender, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat. With slotted spoon, remove and discard vegetables (I chop my veggies and use). Remove chicken; set aside. Reserve both in dutch oven.
  • 2. Lightly spoon flour into a measuring cup; level off. In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt; mix well. With pastry blender or fork, cut in shortening until well mixed. Add milk; stir until mixture leaves sides of bowl and soft dough forms.
  • 3. Turn dough out onto well-floured surface; gently knead dough 2-3 minutes, kneading in only enough flour until no longer sticky. Roll out to 1/8 inch thickness; cut into 3 x 1 inch strips.
  • 4. Bring broth in dutch oven to a boil. Add dumplings. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 25-30 minutes or until dumplings are tender and thoroughly cooked. Gently stir in soup and chicken; cook until thoroughly heated. Stir in parsley.

This soup was ok. The dumplings were light and fluffy, but the broth was not very flavorful.

I've tried many chicken dumpling recipes, but this one is by far the best. The dumplings are incredibly light and the broth is so flavorful. I love that I can use my slow cooker to make it, too. It's perfect for a busy weeknight meal.
