Easy Chicken and Dumplings

RE: Easy Chicken and Dumplings Post By Joanne (Guest Post) (09/08/2008) Here's the even easier version my Mama made when I was a kid, and which my own kids still think of as their favorite comfort food: Boil a whole chicken in a large pot of water. Pour the broth into a pitcher or other container and refrigerate while you cool and bone the chicken. I save the skin for treats for the dogs and the bones for making soup stock. When the broth has cooled, skim off the fat cake on top and return broth to pot, with chicken meat. Drop in one stick of margarine, about two cups of milk (skim is fine), and season with garlic salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Open two cans of refrigerator dough. Plain is best, though buttermilk and "crescent roll" also work. Pull tiny bits off (each buscuit should yield 9-10 dumplings) and drop into boiling broth. They will grow. Stir periodically. By the time you finish getting all the dumplings in, it's ready to serve. My kids love "making" the dumplings. On the second night, just add a fresh can or two of dumplings.

They do not stick together - they thicken up without being globby!
