THE HIRSHON DELAWARE CHICKEN AND SLIPPERY DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• Rub chicken breasts with salt, pepper, Poultry Seasoning and paprika.
• In a large Dutch Oven, sauté the carrots, onions and celery with butter. Once translucent, add the chicken and stock.
• Tie the rosemary, parsley and thyme into a bundle with kitchen twine and drop in the pot. Bring to a low boil and allow it to simmer for about 30 minutes.
• When chicken is cooked through, remove it from pot and allow it to cool. Discard herbs.
• Mix together flour and salt in a mixing bowl. Add shortening and mix with your fingertips until mixture is the consistency of coarse meal. Add warm stock, a little at a time, until a soft, but not sticky, dough is formed.
• Knead on floured board until soft, pliable and very smooth, about 4 to 5 minutes. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and let rest for 15 minutes. Place dough on floured surface and roll very thin. With a sharp knife, cut into squares, about 2 inches. Dust dumplings with flour.
• Raise heat on the pot of broth to medium-high and drop dumplings, one by one, into boiling stock, being careful not to let them stick together. Cover and boil dumplings for 10 to 15 minutes.
• The liquid should thicken into a light gravy. If not, or if you prefer a thicker gravy (I do), make a roux out of flour and butter in equal parts, toast in a frying pan, stirring constantly until nut brown. Pour in stock from the dumplings and stir until a gravy is formed. Add chopped fresh herbs to taste plus salt and pepper.
• While dumplings are boiling, remove chicken meat from the bones. As an optional but delicious step, fry up the skin in a blazing hot pan with oil and make it very crisp. Break into small pieces. This is a TFD addition to the classic recipe, where the skin is simply discarded.
• Garnish dumplings with chopped parsley and celery leaves. Serve them immediately with the gravy over the torn-up chicken meat, sprinkle with fried skin cracklings if using.

SLIPPERY DUMPLINGS

• Mix dry ingredients.
• Cut shortening into dry ingredients.
• Add water slowly, just enough to make a stiff dough.
• If the dough is tacky, add a small amount of flour until it is stiff.
• Roll dough out very thinly, about 1/2 centimeter thick.
• With a sharp knife cut the dough into small squares, about 1 1/2 inch wide by 2 inches high.

SLIPPERY DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• In a large stockpot or Dutch oven, melt butter over medium heat. Add celery, carrots, and onion, and saute until translucent.
• Mix together salt, black pepper, garlic, and paprika. Rub over chicken. Add chicken to the Dutch oven and pour 4-6 cups of chicken broth over the top. (The amount of broth depends on whether you prefer more of a soup or a thicker, pot pie-like result. I use 5 cups.) Tie rosemary and thyme together with kitchen twine and drop into the broth. Add bay leaf. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Simmer for 30 minutes.
• While chicken is cooking, in a medium bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut shortening into the flour mixture with a pastry cutter or your fingers, until it is coarse crumbs. Remove 1 1/2 cups of broth from the Dutch oven, and mix into the flour mixture a little at a time until a soft dough is formed.
• Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead about 5 minutes, until it is soft, pliable, and smooth. Cover and let rest 10-15 minutes.
• Once rested, place dough back onto a floured surface and roll out until it is 1/8-inch thin. With a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut into 2"x1" strips.
• When chicken is cooked through, remove it from the pot and cover with foil to keep warm. You can shred or leave whole. Remove herbs and bay leaf from the pot and discard.
• Raise the heat of the broth to medium-high and bring to a boil. Once boiling, drop in dumplings once at a time, stirring occasionally, to keep them from sticking together. Cook for 10 minutes.
• Serve immediately over chicken.

CROCK POT CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• Place carrots, onions, and chicken in crock pot. Whisk together soups and chicken broth. Pour over chicken in crock pot. Cook on low approx. 6 hours. Carefully remove chicken breasts and shred meat with two forks. Return to crock pot. Approx. 1 hour prior to serving, begin adding strips of Anne's Dumplings to the crock pot 3 or 4 at a time. I probably added about 10 sheets total, but you may want to add more or less depending on how thick you want your chicken and dumplings to be. Cover, stirring every 15 minutes or so (to prevent the dumplings sticking together) until ready to serve.

SOUTHERN CHICKEN AND FLAT DUMPLINGS RECIPE

Steps:

• Remove the pouch of giblets from the cavity of your chicken and use for another purpose. If your chicken came with a neck, you can cook that right along with the rest.
• In your Instant Pot or a Dutch oven, place the chicken (and neck, if you have one), boxed stock, onion, garlic, vinegar, salt, poultry seasoning and smoked pepper or peppercorns.
• Bring up to pressure and cook at high pressure for 33 minutes. (If using a Dutch oven, simmer over medium-low heat until the chicken is cooked through and you have a nice, rich stock, about 2 hours. You may have to flip the chicken to get it to cook evenly).
• For the most tender meat, allow for complete natural pressure release, about 30 minutes. If cooking in a Dutch oven, allow the meat to cool in the pot.
• Carefully remove all the meat from the carcass, get rid of as many bones and onion pieces as you can. Once you've removed most of the larger pieces, pour the stock through a strainer to get all the little bits.
• Return the meat to the pot, cool and then refrigerate overnight.
• The next day, spoon off the layer of chicken fat from the surface of the stock. You can use this in your dumplings, to make matzo ball soup, or you can discard.
• Place your Instant Pot insert back in your Instant Pot and turn to saute or place your Dutch oven over. Stir occasionally until the stock has melted back to liquid (it will probably be like soft Jello straight from the fridge). You don't have to make it hot at this point, just warm enough to melt the gelatin in the stock.
• Pour the stock and chicken through a strainer. Press down on the chicken to get as much of the stock as possible. Refrigerate the chicken.
• Taste the broth and adjust seasonings if necessary.
• Turn the Instant Pot back to saute and bring stock to a rolling boil. If using a Dutch oven, bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Drop dumplings (procedure below) into the pot, a few at a time so they don't stick together.
• Boil for about 15-20 minutes, or until dumplings are cooked through. NOTE: A few of the smaller bits of dumpling may dissolve, and that's totally fine. This is what thickens your broth into a silky, dreamy gravy.
• Return the reserved chicken to the pot to reheat, about 5 minutes.
• Serve in bowls with a fork and a spoon. Have some good bread or rolls handy to sop up the extra sauce.
• Enjoy!
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, poultry seasoning and black pepper.
• Drop in the chicken fat, bacon fat, butter, or shortening, and rub in with your fingertips until it is completely incorporated. No pea-sized pieces here. You want it to disappear.
• Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and stream in the milk.
• Bring the dough together with a fork. It will be fairly wet.
• Liberally flour your counter.
• Scrape the dumpling dough onto the floured surface. Liberally flour the top of the dough and roll out into a rough rectangle about 1/8-3/16" thick. If the dough sticks, add some more flour to assist with rolling, but don't knead it in. Use your dough scraper to lift the dough and toss some flour underneath and add some to the top as necessary.
• Brush excess flour off the top of the dough. Cut into 2"x3" rectangles (don't measure--just use a pizza cutter and go for it), and they're ready to be cooked.

EBONY'S STEWED CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• Prepare the chicken: Cut the chicken into 8 pieces with the back bones (2 breasts, 2 thighs, 2 drumsticks, 2 wings). You also can buy the chicken already cut up. Place in a large, heavy cooking pot or Dutch oven and add the onion, celery, salt, flavor enhancer, garlic salt, paprika and enough cold water to just cover the meat (about 4 cups).
• Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Skim any foam from the surface, then reduce the heat to low and simmer gently until the chicken is almost completely tender, about 45 minutes.
• When the chicken is almost done, make the dumplings: Whisk the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt in a medium bowl. Add the milk and stir to form a thick, smooth batter.
• Uncover the pot and drop heaping teaspoons of the dumpling batter on top of the chicken, spacing apart slightly. Sprinkle with the parsley and cover the pot. Cook for 20 minutes without lifting the lid. If you cut into a dumpling, the dough should be cooked through to the center. Serve the chicken and dumplings on a platter or in serving dishes, garnished with more parsley.
