Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 slices bacon, chopped
1 (3 lb) whole chickens, cut up
1 (16 ounce) jar green chili salsa
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can chicken broth
1/2 lb fresh corn masa dough
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1/8 cup grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Cook bacon in 6-quart stockpot on medium heat 5 to 8 minutes or until crisp, stirring occasionally. Remove bacon from pan; drain on paper towels. Remove drippings from pan, reserving 1 tablespoon drippings for later use.
  • Add chicken, in batches; cook 3 minutes on each side or until browned on both sides. Return all chicken to pan. Stir in salsa and broth. Bring to boil; cover. Simmer on medium-low heat 15 minutes. Meanwhile, mix masa dough, cheese and reserved bacon drippings; shape into 18 balls, using about 1 tablespoon of the dough for each.
  • Add dough balls to chicken mixture; cook 5 to 8 minutes or until dumplings and chicken are done (165°F). Remove from heat. Stir in bacon and cilantro.
  • KITCHEN TIPS:.
  • Serving Suggestions: Serve with a crisp green salad tossed with your favorite salad dressing to round out the meal.
  • Substitute: Dry corn masa is a great substitute for the fresh masa in this tasty recipe. Just mix 3/4 cup dry masa with enough water (about 1/2 cup) to make soft dough.
  • Special Extra: Stir in 2 cups cooked green beans with the dough balls.
