Old Fashioned Chicken and Dumplings

Ingredients

• 64 oz Chicken Broth
• 1 Onion (finely diced)
• 3 Chicken Breasts
• 2 cup Flour
• 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
• 2 tbsp Butter (cold)
• 1 cup Milk
• Salt and Pepper (to taste)

Method

1. Combine chicken, onion, and broth in a pot.
2. Bring to a boil, then simmer about 15 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F internal temperature.
3. Remove chicken, shred with two forks, and set aside.
4. Whisk together flour and baking powder in a bowl.
5. Cut cold butter into small pieces and work into the flour mixture with a fork or pastry cutter until crumbly.
6. Stir in milk until a dough forms.
7. Turn dough onto a floured surface and roll out to about 1/4-inch thickness, adding flour as needed to prevent sticking.
8. Cut the dough into squares using a knife or pizza cutter.
9. Bring the broth back to a boil.
10. Add dumpling squares to the boiling broth one at a time, dusting with flour if they stick together.
11. Stir occasionally as dumplings cook.
12. Simmer dumplings for 10-15 minutes, tasting to ensure they are fully cooked and not doughy.
13. Reduce heat to medium, stir in shredded chicken, and simmer a few more minutes until heated through.
