MOM'S CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS
On Sundays, Mom set our big round oak table with a snowy white cloth and her fine dishes and tableware. On the old wood stove, pushed way back to simmer slowly, was a big pot of chicken and dumplings from scratch in a thick gravy. I can still taste it. -Willa Govoro, St. Clair, Missouri

Steps:
- Start with a large heavy bottom pot that has a lid (like an enameled cast iron pot or Dutch oven) over medium heat.
- Add the olive oil. Once it is hot add the onions, carrots, celery and garlic. Sauté for about 7-8 minutes, stirring often, so the onions are nice and soft.
- Stir in the onion powder, turmeric, salt, pepper, and chicken base, so it coats the veggies.
- Pour in the chicken broth, water and add the bay leaf. Give everything a good stir.
- Simmer over medium heat for 20 minutes, until the carrots and celery are just fork tender.Go ahead and make the dumpling dough at this point and set aside until the stew is done simmering. See instructions below.
- Remove the bay leaf and discard. Stir in the cooked chicken.
- Increase the heat to medium-high to bring the pot to a gentle boil. Drop tablespoons full of the dumpling dough into the simmering broth. PRO TIP: Resist the urge to stir the dumplings!!!! They will have a better texture if you let them simmer/steam.
- Once all the dumplings are in the pot, lower the heat to medium-low and pop the lid on. Let the dumplings lightly simmer for 15 minutes without disturbing!
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl mash together the flour and butter (Beurre Manié) until it is combined. Set aside.
- Remove the lid and pour in the heavy cream and frozen peas. Lightly stir in the flour/butter thickener. Let it simmer over low heat for another 5 minutes. The heat will thaw the peas and thicken the stew.
- Remove from the heat and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.

CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS
This is my favorite dish of all time, and one of the first I learned to make as a kid. My mother is the master of this dish and she taught me; her mother taught her, her mother's mother taught her, and that's how it works.

Steps:
- Bring the stock to a simmer in a large stock pot over high heat. Add the chicken, keeping the stock at a gentle simmer. Cover and cook for one hour or until the meat is falling from the bone. Remove the chicken from the pot, keeping the stock at a simmer. Remove the skin and meat (in big chunks) from the chicken. Discard the skin and the bones. Reserve the meat and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and the buttermilk and season with black pepper. If the dough looks dry, add a few tablespoons of hot broth and a few additional tablespoons of buttermilk. Fold the dough lightly (it will look wet). Season the broth with salt and pepper as needed. Wet a spoon in the simmering broth, then scoop a heaping tablespoon of dumpling mixture and gently drop it into the broth over the largest simmering bubbles. Working quickly, repeat with the rest of the batter. Reduce to a low simmer, cover and cook for 10-15 minutes.
- As the dumplings cook, baste as needed with broth. It's important that the dumplings don't overlap or sit on top of each other. Carefully push some of the dumplings to the side and add the chicken. Cover and simmer for another minute to heat through.
- Check that the dumplings are cooked through by using a cake tester. Place dumplings, chicken and broth in a bowl. Finish with black pepper.
CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS
My mom made a similar recipe for this comforting dish, and I still remember the wonderful aroma of chicken and dumplings cooking throughout the house. She didn't make it often, but when she did, what a treat. I especially loved the light, tender dumplings, which is still my most favorite part of this dish. (In a pinch, Bisquick dumplings are also very good). For those of you, like my good friend Cindy, who like a more Southern style of dumpling (heavier, chewier), the recipe is at the bottom. This recipe is from Steph's Country Kitchen Goodness. This is my favorite website for recipes.

MOM'S CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS (BOTT BOI)
When I was a child my Mother made "Chicken and Dumplings" that were out of this world. They approached Paradise. After I was grown and took up cooking I tried in vain to find "her" recipe. I never developed a taste for drop dumplings.A few months ago I was watching an regional home cooking show on the TV, suddenly there was "Mom's Chicken and Dumplings" on a program about Pennsylvania Dutch cooking. How Mom came by it originally is one of life's mysteries. This is so good, chickens volunteer for the privilege of being part of it.

MOM'S CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS (CHICKEN PAPRIKA)
This was a staple at our house when I was growing up. My mom made this about two times a month and often had to double the dumplings! Since my mom is not good at exact measurements, I tried my best to recreate this great one pot meal from her verbal instructions. She calls this Chicken Paprika, but I am told it would have to have sour cream in it, and it doesn't, which is fine with me :) ****NOTE 1/15/08: I've adjusted the quantities of salt and paprika because depending on what kind of chicken you use, different amounts of water will be used, needing different amounts of spicing. You may also increase the pepper and garlic, if desired, but be careful as garlic should not be a dominant flavor in this dish.

Steps:
- In a stock pot or dutch oven saute onions in butter until tender.
- Add water until pot is about 1/3 full.
- Add chicken thighs, garlic powder, salt, pepper and paprika.
- Make sure water is covering the chicken, if not add more until it just covers.
- Bring to a boil and then simmer for 90 minutes, covered, stirring occasionally.
- In the meantime, make the dumplings: Mix the flour, salt, pepper and paprika in a medium bowl until combined.
- Make a well in the center and drop in the egg and about 1/2 cup water.
- Stir and add more water by the tablespoon until you have a sticky dough that just leaves the side of the bowl.
- In a different large pot from chicken, boil water.
- Drop dumpling mixture by the teaspoon into the boiling water.
- (I use a regular teaspoon from my flatware, not a measuring spoon.) If dumpling mix is too sticky to drop from spoon, then dip the spoon into the boiling water, the dumpling should slide right off.
- When dumplings start floating on top, remove them with a slotted spoon or drain them.
- You may have to reduce the heat to see when they are floating.
- About 30 minutes before chicken should be done, add the dumplings to the pot with the chicken.
- After 30 minutes, you should have a delicious dish: the chicken should be tender enough that it is falling off of the bone and the dumplings should have made a thicker sauce out of the liquid the chicken was cooking inches.
MOM'S CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS
Steps:
- Cut chicken breast into bite-size pieces or strips (thin). If using a whole chicken pull meat from bones, discarding skin and bones. Put chicken in 8 cups of water, bring to a boil, add salt, pepper to taste, add 2 teaspoons of poultry seasoning (or to taste).
- Cook until chicken is tender approx. 2 hours over medium heat. When chicken is done/tender add chicken broth. Bring back to a boil.
- Take canned biscuits and flatten each one out either by hand or with a rolling pen. Pinch off small pieces (you should get approx. 15 small pieces per biscuit) drop into boiling water, stir between each can of biscuits. After you have added all the biscuits stir again.
- Cover and let cook for approx. 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally so the dumplings won't stick to bottom of pan. When done remove from heat, taste, add salt or pepper if needed.

MOM'S TASTY CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS
Steps:
- If using chicken breasts (or if you just feel like it) cook the chicken in some EVOO first to brown it before adding the water to make the stock. Put chicken and onion in water, filled almost to the top of the pan. Add seasonings (except bouillon cubes) to taste. Heat chicken until boiling. Reduce heat to medium low for 3-5 hours. After 2 hours, add bouillon cubes. Check seasonings every one to two hours.
- After done cooking, remove chicken from stock (do not throw stock away!). Let chicken cool and de-bone it. Do not keep the skin on either.
- Dumplings:
- While the chicken is cooling boil water and mix milk, eggs, salt, and flour together until it forms a loose ball. Using a tablespoon add dumplings to boiling water. Dumplings will pretty much be done when they come to the surface of the water.
- Take 1 cup flour and 2 cups milk (1:2 ratio) and cook on stove for a little bit to thicken it up first. Then add this mixture to the chicken stock. Once it has been incorporated (no lumps, please) add back the chicken and the dumplings. Enjoy!
