PANTRY CHICKEN & DUMPLINGS FOR TWO image

This is my own quick and easy recipe for dinner for two using pantry ingredients. The pillowy soft dumplings and chunks of chicken in a delicious, silky gravy are comfort food nirvana. If concerned with sodium intake, you may use low sodium broth and omit the pinch of salt from the dough.

Categories     Chicken

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 c self-rising flour (i use white lily)
1 Tbsp shortening (i use crisco)
1/4 - 1/3 c whole milk (or reconstituted dry milk)
1 pinch salt
1 1/2 -2 box chicken broth (i use swanson 32 oz. size)
2 chicken bouillon cubes
1 pinch dried parsley flakes
1 can(s) chunk chicken breast, 12.5 oz. drained

Steps:

  • 1. Make dumpling dough by cutting shortening into the flour until it almost looks like coarse sand (I use a handled biscuit cutter, but you can use a pastry blender or the two knives technique.)
  • 2. Add and stir in enough of the milk to bring it all together and it forms a stiff dough (like for biscuits.) Do not overwork the dough.
  • 3. In a dutch oven or stockpot, bring chicken broth to a boil. Add bouillon cubes to broth.
  • 4. Drop rounded tablespoons of the dough into the boiling broth. When all of the dumplings are in the pot, reduce heat to a medium simmer and cook uncovered for 10 minutes. Do not stir!
  • 5. After first 10 minutes simmering, sprinkle a pinch of parsley flakes over dumplings. Place tight fitting lid on top of the pot and simmer without stirring for an additional 10 minutes.
  • 6. Remove from heat. Very gently, stir in drained cooked chicken.
  • 7. Serve hot. (I like to serve it in bowls with a bit more parsley sprinkled on top.)
  • 8. Cover and refrigerate any leftovers. Gently reheat in microwave.

This recipe was just okay. The dumplings were a little tough and the broth was bland. I probably won't make it again.

Not a fan. The dumplings were heavy and the broth was too thick. I won't be making this again.
