Chicken n Dumplings

Chicken n Dumplings is one of my families favorite meals. Making dumplings is like making biscuits from scratch you don't get them right the first time you make them. It took me several tries to get used to making dumplings just right.

Chicken n Dumplings

1 lb chicken
1/4 c. onion
about 1 tsp salt (add more or less to your liking)

Fill crock pot with water. Cook 1 lb chicken in crock pot until tender and cooked. (I put my chicken in the crockpot in the morning and leave it on low while I'm at work.) When chicken is done remove chicken from broth and set aside to cool. Transfer broth to pot on stove. Bring it up to a simmer. Add onion and about a tsp of salt (add more or less to your liking).

Dumplings:
3 cups flour
4 tsp baking powder
1 ½ tsp salt
6 Tbls. Vegetable oil
1 ½ cups chicken broth

Mix and roll on to a floured surface. Roll and cut into about 1 inch x ¾ inch ( I use a pizza cutter). Drop into broth and stir occasionally but make sure you scrap the bottom every time you stir.
