The chicken I used in this recipe was from the crock pot garlic chicken. I'll post that soon.
Bring to a boil:
6 cups chicken broth
Add to the chicken broth and simmer for 10 minutes:
1 heaping cup chopped carrots
2 celery sticks
While the vegetables are simmering prepare the dumplings.
Dumplings:
Mix in medium bowl:
1, 1/2 cup flour
2 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp salt
cut into the flour and mix well:
3 T shortening
Using a fork slowly add:
3/4 cup milk
Now add 3 cups diced, cooked chicken to the simmering carrots and celery. Then add the dumpling mixture one tablespoon at a time. The dumpling mixture will completely cover the soup pot. Keep the stove top on low and put the lid on the soup. Let it cook on low for 30-45 minutes.
The dumplings will cook together, but when you serve it up the serving spoon will break them up.
Yummy!!
