Chicken and Dumplings- Sara

• 3 lbs. of breasts and thighs
• 3 small carrots chopped
• 1 onion, chopped
• 3 ribs celery, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic
• Salt (1 ½ tsp)
• Pepper to taste
• 4 cups water
• 2 bay leaves
• 4 sprigs fresh parsley
• Thyme 1 tsp
  • Boil-25 min—35 min. Remove chicken. Skin and bone the chicken (set aside). Reduce the broth a little by boiling soup a few minutes longer. Remove bay leaves.
• 1 cup flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ cup milk
  • Mix and spoon into soup. Cover. After 5 minutes, turn over dumplings. 5 more minutes, then add chicken. Heat 2-3 more minutes.
  • **I actually prefer the Bisquick dumplings recipe (on the box), but if you don't have Bisquick on hand, this dumpling recipe is okay. The soup is great though!
