Tonights Dinner: Chicken and Dumplins












I didnt follow a recipe so instructions may seem a little vague :) Place any questions in the comments section :)

What you'll need;
1 hen (I was lazy today and just used chicken breasts).
Bisquick, for the dumplins
Milk, for the dumplins
Broth
Water
Salt
Pepper
Garlic

Rince chicken
Boil chicken in 1/2 part water 1/2 part broth and add lots of salt, pepper, garlic for about 20 minutes (do not over cook).
Once chicken is cooked, pull it out of the pot (keep all broth) and shred chicken.
Make dumplin dough (follow instructions on Bisquick box)
Place shredded chicken back in broth, and reduce heat to medium.
Drop small spoons of the dough in with the chicken.

Note: Dumplins expand when added to the water so keep it to small spoons of dough.

I have never froze left over chicken and dumplins before, but did try that tonight and will make an update after I see how the left overs hold up. Make sure to put enough broth in each serving to cover the chicken and dumplins, then cover and freeze.








Heated up left overs and the chicken and dumplins held up nicely. Pop an individual serving in the microwave (do not uncover) until thawed and hot, about eight minutes and stir half way through.
