THE BEST CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• Start with the soup. Chop all the veggies.
• In the biggest pot you have, saute the veggies in olive oil until the onions are soft.
• Add the chicken broth, the seasoning salt (I like Morton's Nature's Seasoning best) and the chicken breasts.
• Cook for about 30 minutes, until the chicken is done.
• Take the chicken out, shred it, and return it to the soup.
• Now for the good part: the dumplings. Mix all the dry ingredients.
• Add the milk, and cut it into the dough until it forms a kind of dry, crumbly texture.
• Now knead it until it forms a nice dough-y texture.
• Put some flour down on the counter, and roll the dough until it is really, really thin. This'll take some work. It's fun though. If you're making a lot, or if you're short for room, or if you did as I advised and doubled the dumplings, you'll need to do this in a few batches.
• With a pizza cutter, cut the dough into little rectangular dumplings about the size of those gummy erasers we used in elementary school. If they don't come out even, you'll live.
