Chicken-n-dumplings (Rated 4 per husband)

I found this recipe on pinterest, I'm sure you've heard of this site. I absolutely LOVE this website. It's like a bulletin board and people find things they like and post it. Check it out if you've never seen it. This is the website the pin went to Eat At Home Cooks. I may be a little obsessed with it, Pinterest not Eat at home cooks.

FYI I usually half this recipe since it's just my husband and I. This recipe is so easy and doesn't take long at all to make. I think at heart I'm just a southern belle, I love good ol' home cookin. Chicken fried steak, chicken-n-dumplings, and fried okra mmmm...I love it all! Whenever I make this, I always think of my best friend, Tera and her mama Tracie (she's like my second mom). Tera would call me over for dinner when this was made and in exchange we would do the dishes, wrinkly fingers were worth every bite!

Ingredients

1 whole Rotisserie chicken (You can make your own, but I always go this route it makes things easier)

6-8 cups chicken broth

2 cups flour

2 Tbs. butter

1/2 tsp. baking powder

salt to taste (I just shake some in)

about a cup of milk, maybe a bit less

In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Cut the butter into the dry ingredients with a fork or pastry blender. Stir in the milk, mixing with a fork until the dough forms a ball.

Heavily flour a work surface. I always don't put enough flour down, a little tip if you think you have enough add a little more. You’ll need a rolling pin and something to cut the dumplings with, I usually use a pizza cutter.

Roll the dough out thin with a heavily floured rolling pin. Dip your cutter in flour and cut the dumplings however you like, it doesn't need to be perfect.

Use the floured spatula to put them on a heavily floured plate. Just keep flouring between the layers of dumplings.

To cook them, bring the broth to a boil. Drop the dumplings in one at a time, stirring while you add them. The extra flour on them will help thicken the broth. Cook them for about 15-20 minutes or until they not doughy tasting. Add chicken and you're done!
