Equipment
- 1 heavy saucepan
- 1 Crockpot If making your own shredded chicken and broth
- 1 Rolling pin
- 1 Knife or pizza cutter
Ingredients
- 2 Cups Shredded Chicken
- 1 1/2 Cups Flour
- 1 Tsp Salt
- 1 Tsp Pepper
- 1 Egg
- 5 Cups Chicken broth
Instructions
- Mix the Dough – In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Add one egg, softened butter and stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a slightly shaggy dough is okay.
- Form the Dumplings – Using a rolling pin, roll out till about1/4" thickness.
- Cut them into strips. With a pizza cutter cut them in thin strips and let them set for about 5 minutes.
- Heat 5 cups of chicken broth and 4 tablespoons of butter in a pan on the stove over medium high heat. When the broth comes to a boil drop the dumplings in one at a time. Turn down the heat to low and simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes or until the dumpling are soft and not chewy. Add the shredded chicken into the pot and let cook for a few minutes. Add salt and pepper to your preference.
