Southwest Chicken and Dumplings image

I had a few cups of enchilada seasoned shredded chicken in the fridge to use up and wanted some chicken and dumplings. I figured that I would just go with the "southwest" theme, and ended up with a dish that we all love. For more spice, just choose a hot salsa.

Time 2h20m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 tablespoons butter
6 tablespoons flour
1/2 cup onion, chopped
12 cups chicken broth
1 (4 ounce) can diced green chilies, undrained
1 (14 ounce) can creamed corn, undrained
1 cup salsa
2 cups shredded cooked chicken, seasoned with
southwest seasoning
8 ounces processed cheese, cubed
10 flour tortillas, cut in strips

Steps:

  • Melt butter in the bottom of a large heavy saucepan. Saute onions in butter until tender.
  • Stir in flour and cook to create a light roux.
  • Slowly stir in chicken broth, then add remaining ingredients.
  • The flour tortillas will take a while to start absorbing the liquid and become dumpling-like. Simmer for at least two hours until tortillas become swollen and soft, replacing liquid with water or chicken broth as it evaporates and is soaked up by the tortillas. I usually start mine about 2:00 in the afternoon and let it simmer for several hours until dinner.
