QUICK AND SUPER EASY CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, stir together the biscuit mix and milk just until it pulls together. Set aside.
• Pour the cans of chicken broth into a saucepan along with the chicken; bring to a boil. Once the broth is at a steady boil, take a handful of biscuit dough and flatten it in your hand. Tear off 1 to 2 inch pieces and drop them into the boiling broth. Make sure they are fully immersed at least for a moment.

• While chicken is cooking, make dumplings.
• Mix flour and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add eggs and 1/4 cup evaporated milk and mix dumpling ingredients just enough to form a stiff dough. Add more flour if necessary.
• If using more than 3 eggs you will need to increase the flour and salt accordingly. Otherwise dough will be too wet to work with.
• Pour out onto a floured surface. Knead dough 1 or 2 times, being careful not to overwork the dough. The dough becomes tough very quickly, so handle as little as possible. Dust dough and rolling pin with flour. Roll dough to about 1/8 inch thickness.
• Cut into strips about 3/4 inch by 3 inches with a floured knife. Let rest until ready to add to boiling chicken. Add dumplings to boiling broth a few pieces at a time, so that dumplings don't stick to each other. Add remaining evaporated milk to pot.
• Cook 15 minutes. If broth is too runny, dissolve 3 Tbsp flour into 1/4 cup hot water until there are no lumps. Add to dumplings and cook another 5 minutes. Serve.
