Chicken and Dumplings

Ingredients:  Soup

• 2 tbs. butter
• 1 medium onion chopped
• 2 medium chicken breasts chopped (un-cooked)
• 1 stalk celery chopped
• 1 tsp. sea salt or regular table salt
• 1/2 tsp. black pepper
• 2 small potatoes chopped
• 1 16 ounce frozen mixed vegetables
• 4 cups water
• 4 cups chicken broth ( chicken base works well, read directions for amount)

Ingredients:  Dumplings

• 1 tbs. dried parsley
• 1 tsp. dried oregano
• 3 tbs. canola oil
• 3/4 cup milk
• 1 cup flour
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• 1/2 tsp. salt

Directions: Soup

1. Frist In large stock pot, sauté onion and celery in butter until vegetables are translucent in color. 
2. Then Add frozen vegetables and chicken breast, water and chicken broth. Cover pot, stir occasionally until vegetables tender and chicken is no longer pink.
3. Then While the chicken and vegetable mixture is cooking, you can then put together the dumplings.

Directions for the Dumplings:

1. Frist Whisk milk and oil together in a small bowl. In a medium bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, salt and herbs together. 
2. Next, Make a well in the middle of the flour mixture and pour the milk and oil mixture into the flour. It will be crumbly. Shape the dough into tablespoon sizes and place on top of the soup mixture ( you will want the soup mixture to be almost to boiling, small bubbles rising to the top). When all of the dumplings are placed on top, cover and simmer ( keep it at a gentle boil) for 10 to 12 minutes. Do not lift the lid. To check for doneness, place toothpick in center of dumpling and if it comes out clean, the dumplings are ready.
3. At this point, take a cooking sheet and place a cooling rack on the sheet. 
4. Next, Carefully take the dumplings out and place on cookie sheet with a slotted spoon. Mix 1/4 cup flour with 1/2 cup milk until no lumps, bring the soup mixture to a light boil and add the flour and milk mixture, cook until desired thickness (If you like more of a soup consistency you may skip this part of the recipe). 
5. When the soup is thickened, serve up in bowls and add the dumplings on top.
6. **I always double the dumpling recipe as we like a lot of dumplings.
7. Enjoy!
