How to Make Babbling Brooks Chicken And Dumplings
- Place chicken and 6 cups of water in a large pot. Add 1 teaspoon salt.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 2-2.5 hours, or until chicken is cooked through and easily shreds.
- Remove chicken from broth and let cool slightly. Shred chicken, discarding skin and bones.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 7 tablespoons flour and 3/4 cup water until smooth.
- Stir the flour mixture into the chicken broth. Add 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and 2-3 drops of yellow food coloring (optional). Whisk until smooth.
- Strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve back into the pot. Add shredded chicken to the broth. Reserve 4 cups of the gravy in a flat stew pan for the dumplings.
- For the dumplings: In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and oil.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Bring the reserved 4 cups of gravy to a gentle boil.
- Drop the dumpling batter by rounded teaspoonfuls into the boiling gravy.
- Cover the pan and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until the dumplings are cooked through and fluffy.
- Serve immediately over the chicken and dumplings.
