Zubereitung von Big Thicket Chicken And Dumplings
- Place 1 whole (about 3-4 lb) chicken and 8 cups of water into a large pot or Dutch oven.
- Add 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for about 1 hour, or until the chicken is cooked through and easily shreds.
- Carefully remove the chicken from the pot and set aside to cool completely.
- Remove 2 cups of the chicken stock and set aside to cool.
- Add 2 stalks celery (chopped), 1 medium onion (chopped), 1 medium carrot (chopped), and 2 beef bouillon cubes to the remaining stock in the pot. Continue to simmer.
- While the chicken cools, prepare the dumplings: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Cut in 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted margarine using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs and the 2 cups of cooled chicken stock.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for a minute or two until smooth.
- You may need to divide the dough in half and roll out one half at a time. Roll out to approximately 1/8-inch thickness.
- Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the dough into 1-inch wide strips. Then cut the strips into 1-inch squares to form the dumplings.
- Bring the chicken stock in the pot back to a gentle boil.
- Carefully drop the dumplings into the boiling broth, a few at a time, being careful not to overcrowd the pot.
- Cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the dumplings are cooked through and float to the surface, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Remove from heat and cover the pot to keep the dumplings warm.
- Once the chicken is cool enough to handle, remove the skin and debone it.
- Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
- Gently fold the shredded chicken into the hot dumplings and broth.
- Serve immediately. This recipe makes enough for 4 servings (or 2 large servings per person).
