STAR-LA'S RECIPES:: MAIN DISH: *CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS*

CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS

WHAT U WILL NEED::

4-5 CHICKEN BREAST

1.5 LBS MARY B'S FROZEN DUMPLINGS

1 32 OZ (2 LBS) BOX OF CHICKEN BROTH

2 CANS OF CREAM OF CHICKEN

4 CANS OF WATER

THIS IS OPTIONAL!!

(3 TBLS. BUTTER,CARROTS, CELERY, ONION, GARLIC)

I REALLY NEVER USED THESE IN THIS JUST FOR THE BLOG I DID~

WISH I DIDN'T PUT THE CELERY IN IT CAUSE I DO NOT LIKE CELERY AND I ENDED UP HAVING TO PICK THROUGH AND TAKE THEM OUT~ BUT ITS UP TO U~ THEY DO ADD A GOOD FLAVOR AND CRUNCH TO THE SOUP~ =)

THIS IS THE CHICKEN I BUY!

I HAVE ABOUT 5 PIECES FROZEN!

LEAVE THEM IN THE BAG AND THAW UNDER RUNNING WATER,, OR IN THE MICROWAVE WHATEVER U WANT.

BUTTERFLY THE BIG PIECES.

I SEASON THEM WITH MY SPECIAL INGREDIENT. SEASON SALT!

BAKE THEM HOWEVER THE PACKAGE SAYS.

IT WAS LIKE 35-45 MINS. AT 375.

OR GRILL THEM IF U WANNA.

JUST COOK THE CHICKEN.

OPTIONAL:

CHOP UP YOUR ONIONS, CELERY, CARROTS, AND GARLIC.

MELT YOUR BUTTER AND SAUTÉ THEM FOR ABOUT 5 MINS ON MEDIUM HEAT.

AFTER YOUR CK IS DONE LET THEM SIT TO COOL.

SHRED THEM LIKE THIS! USE YOUR HANDS ITS A LOT EASIER

ADD CK TO YOUR ONIONS,CARROTS, CELERY, GARLIC AND ADD IN ABOUT HALF THE BROTH. STIR THEM UP A LIL BIT.....

THEN STRAIN THE BROTH BACK OUT IN A BOWL.

PUT IN YOUR POT THE STRAINED JUICES FROM THE CK, ADD THE REST OF THE BROTH, THE 2 CANS OF CREAM OF CK, AND 4 CANS OF WATER~

WHISK IT REALLY GOOD TO GET THE LUMP SOUP TO DISSOLVE.

BRING IT TO A BOIL. KEEP STIRRING IT THO.

WHILE U WAIT FOR IT TO BOIL GET YOUR DUMPLINGS OUT OF THE FREEZE AND START TO BREAK THEM UP LIKE THIS! DON'T FORGET TO STIR THE POT EVERY FEW SECONDS!!!

ONCE YOUR BROTH IS BOILING START TO ADD YOUR DUMPLINGS STIRRING REALLY GOOD EACH TIME U ADD THEM CAUSE THEY WILL STICK TOGETHER~ AND TO THE BOTTOM OF THE POT!
