Southern-Style

The full menu for today's food lab?

Mountain coleslaw, chicken & dumplings, cornbread and pie.

The chicken & dumplings is our main feature today. Maybe I'll throw in the cornbread recipe sometime soon, because it's the best one I've ever tried. And I've tried probably 20-30.

Chicken & Dumplings. My kids were fascinated by it. And super excited to try it! Dumplings is another one of those not-really-Canadian things. But t'was good! Rave reviews all the way.

Without further ado, here it is:


Chicken Dumplings
Ingredients
  • 2 lbs chicken
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup
  • ½ tsp liquid yellow food colouring
  • Chicken bouillon
  • 1tsp salt
  • 3 c. flour
  • Water
Directions:
  1. Boil chicken with 5 c. water until tender
  2. Take chicken out of the broth & chop into small pieces
  3. Place back in the broth with cream of chicken soup, food colouring & salt
  4. Let boil
  5. In the meantime, mix flour with enough water to make a batter-like consistency
  6. Once the chicken boils, drop flour mixture into water by the spoonful.
  7. Allow to cook for 20 minutes.
 
Enjoy!

(Btw, this recipe is courtesy of a lovely homeowner in Kentucky named Mallee. Which I think is a pretty awesome name!)
