OLD FASHIONED HOMEMADE CHICKEN & DUMPLINGS
This is definitely a delicious old fashioned chicken and dumplings recipe. It reminds us of something mom used to make. The from-scratch airy dumplings soak up the chicken flavor of the homemade broth. We opted to use a whole roasting chicken which, when shredded, adds tons of meat that mixes with the tasty dumplings.

Steps:
- 1. CHICKEN AND BROTH: Place chicken breast or whole chicken with skin in a Dutch oven and cover with water.
- 2. Add a stick of butter and chicken bouillon. Cook over medium heat until chicken is tender, about 45 minutes for chicken breasts or 1 hr 15 minutes for the 3 lb chicken. Remove chicken from the broth and let chicken cool. Do not get rid of the broth. Remove skin and bones and discard. Shred chicken or chop into bite-size pieces. I don't put mine back into the broth until after the dumplings have cooked.
- 3. FOR DUMPLINGS: In a small mixing bowl, add eggs to the melted butter. Whisk.
- 4. Take half of a shell and add milk to it six times... pour into the egg mixture.
- 5. Add in salt and pepper.
- 6. Add 3 cups of flour; mixing in the flour a little at a time.
- 7. You want the dough to be rather sticky.
- 8. Add a couple of drops of yellow food coloring to give it a rich looking blend.
- 9. Heap about 2 cups of flour onto a wooden board or counter.
- 10. Using a tablespoon, add about a cup of the mixture to the center of the flour.
- 11. Start incorporating the flour and the dough until you can roll it out and it doesn't stick.
- 12. Roll very thin.
- 13. Using a pizza cutter, cut strips of the dough.
- 14. Add to the broth. Make sure it is boiling rapidly and that you have plenty of broth to keep your dumplings from scorching.
- 15. Turn down to low while you make the next batch. It's easier to roll out using small batches than trying to roll it all out at one time.
- 16. After you have added the last dumpling, add the chicken back to the Dutch oven and stir very gently.
- 17. Remove from heat and place a lid on the pot.
- 18. Let sit for 10 minutes or so before serving.
