PANTRY CHICKEN & DUMPLINGS FOR TWO
This is my own quick and easy recipe for dinner for two using pantry ingredients. The pillowy soft dumplings and chunks of chicken in a delicious, silky gravy are comfort food nirvana. If concerned with sodium intake, you may use low sodium broth and omit the pinch of salt from the dough.

Steps:
- 1. Make dumpling dough by cutting shortening into the flour until it almost looks like coarse sand (I use a handled biscuit cutter, but you can use a pastry blender or the two knives technique.)
- 2. Add and stir in enough of the milk to bring it all together and it forms a stiff dough (like for biscuits.) Do not overwork the dough.
- 3. In a dutch oven or stockpot, bring chicken broth to a boil. Add bouillon cubes to broth.
- 4. Drop rounded tablespoons of the dough into the boiling broth. When all of the dumplings are in the pot, reduce heat to a medium simmer and cook uncovered for 10 minutes. Do not stir!
- 5. After first 10 minutes simmering, sprinkle a pinch of parsley flakes over dumplings. Place tight fitting lid on top of the pot and simmer without stirring for an additional 10 minutes.
- 6. Remove from heat. Very gently, stir in drained cooked chicken.
- 7. Serve hot. (I like to serve it in bowls with a bit more parsley sprinkled on top.)
- 8. Cover and refrigerate any leftovers. Gently reheat in microwave.
