How to Make Perfect Chicken And Dumplings
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine water and bouillon cubes. Bring to a boil.
- Add chicken pieces. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook until chicken is cooked through and easily shreds with a fork (approximately 45-60 minutes).
- Remove chicken from broth and let cool slightly. Shred or chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup of the hot chicken broth and the egg until combined.
- Gradually add 2 cups of flour, mixing until a stiff dough forms. Add more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed to reach desired consistency.
- Lightly flour a clean surface. Turn the dough out onto the floured surface and roll it out to about 1/4 inch thickness.
- Using a knife or pizza cutter, cut the dough into 1x2 inch strips.
- Gently drop the dumpling strips into the remaining chicken broth in the pot.
- Simmer uncovered for 30 minutes, or until dumplings are cooked through and fluffy.
- Add the shredded chicken back to the pot during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
