How to Cook Dumplings Using Chicken Broth
Our doughy dumplings need accompaiment and what better than chicken broth . That is what Brenda Gantt likes to use and I am not one to argue with her. In this guide, we will use the exact method Branda uses to make her dumplungs with chicken broth.
Ingredients
- 3 pounds of chicken thighs.
- 1/2 tbsp of pepper.
- 1/2 tbsp of salt.
- 1 tbsp of butter.
- 1 onion
- 1 green bell pepper
- 2 sticks of celery
Instructions
- Put the chicken in a pot and cover it with water. Add the pepper, salt,butter and vegitables to the pot.
- Cook at high heat to bring the pan to the boil. Once boiling turn the heat down to medium
- Now you want to cook the meat until it is falling off the bone and all the meat juices have had time to mix into the water. This should take 75-90 minutes.,
- Once cooked remove the meat from the pan. Set it aside to be served alongside the dumplings
- Taste the broth to make sure it has enough salt and pepper( you want the broth to be strong tasting so feel free to add more as required).
- Now take the dumplings you prepared earlier.
- Pick all the pieces one at a time, drop them in the boiling broth, and stir them immediately to not stick at the bottom. Cook for about 6-8 minutes.
- Don't stir more than necessary as the dumplings could fall apart if stired too much or too vigorously.
- Repeat this until all the dumplings are done. Your broth should now be full of dumplings.
- Add the chicken on top of the broth and serve.
