Ultra Low Fat Old Fashioned Chicken & Dumplings image

Another treasure from "Fat Free and Ultra Low Fat recipes from Doris' Kitchen" by Doris Cross in Stillwater, OK. This is the only way I will make chicken soup now. Great for any time of year. Really hits the spot when I have a cold. I like to add jar of mushrooms, even though recipe does not call for it. ****Edited to clarify that "old fashioned" dumplings is what the author named the recipe & the dumplings are not like our grandmas' dumplin's; these are a low fat alternative. (I sometimes use the frozen dumplings or noodles from the store, which changes the fat content.)

Categories     Chicken

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup flour
3 egg whites
1/2 cup 1% fat cottage cheese
1/8 cup water
1 pinch salt
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut in chunks
2 (14 ounce) cans chicken broth, remove fat from top
3 cups water
1 medium onion, chopped
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 cup celery, chopped fine
1/4 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1 teaspoon parsley
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • To prepare chicken with broth:.
  • Spray large pot with non stick cooking spray. Add chicken pieces and brown. (I prefer to cook chicken breasts whole & cut after they are cooked.).
  • Add chicken broth, water and all ingredients.
  • Simmer 30 minutes over low heat, uncovered.
  • To prepare dumplings:.
  • Beat combined egg whites and cottage cheese with mixer. (The lumps will not go away until cooked.) Add water and salt and mix well. Add half the flour and mix by hand, mix well and add remaining flour and mix.
  • To cook dumplings:.
  • Bring chicken broth to a rolling boil. Using a tablespoon of dough at a time, drop dumplings into boiling stock. After all dough has been dropped in, reduce heat, cover and cook for 15 minutes. If a thicker, richer broth is desired, uncover and cook longer. (Optional, serve sprinkled with Molly McButter.).

I've never made dumplings before, but these were surprisingly easy to make. I'll definitely be making them again.

These dumplings were delicious! I especially loved the crispy fried shallots on top.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my dumplings turned out really dense. I think I might have added too much flour.

These dumplings were a lifesaver! I had some leftover chicken that I didn't know what to do with, and these dumplings were the perfect solution.

I thought these dumplings were great! The chicken was tender and juicy, and the dumplings were light and fluffy.

These dumplings were just okay. They weren't bad, but they weren't anything special either.

I'm not a big fan of dumplings, but these were actually pretty good. The broth was really flavorful.

These dumplings were a bit too greasy for me. I think I'll try baking them next time instead of frying them.

The dumplings were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

I've made these dumplings several times and they always turn out perfect. They're a great way to use up leftover chicken.
