HOMEMADE CHICKEN & DUMPLINGS // RECIPE

Okay, I know what you are thinking. Chicken and Dumplings in the middle of this heatwave, you must be crazy. And yes, I probably am, but ever since I had the sweet taste of homemade goodness a few years ago in Boone Drug, I've been craving to make my own. So here it is.

What you'll need:
Crockpot or large pot
Chicken
Flour
Milk
Crisco/Butter
Baking Powder
Salt & Pepper
Onion/Chives
Parsley
Water
1 can Campbell's cream of chicken and mushroom soup

Start by combining chicken, water, parsley, onion (I used chives fresh from the garden) salt and pepper in crockpot. Fill about halfway with water. Heat until chicken is cooked through, approximately 2 hours in crockpot. Chop chicken into bite sized pieces.

Combine 2 cups flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, pinch of salt, 2-3 slices of butter or 1-2 spoonfuls of Crisco and a little less than 1/2 cup milk. Make into small balls and drop in mixture. Pour in whatever flour mixture in left in the bowl. Add Campbell's Cream of Chicken and Mushroom (or any other variation of Cream of chicken). If you are using cooked chicken, add to water mixture now.

Cook approximately 30 mins or until dumplings are done.

Put in a festive cup, pretend it's cold and blustery outside and enjoy!
