Grandma’s Chicken and Dumplings

My grandma's chicken and dumplings are full of delicious flavors and are made with a homemade rolled-out dough, lots of chicken, and a thick sauce.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 whole chicken
  • 1 cup whipping cream
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons of salt
  • flour
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Boil chicken in enough broth to cover, then cool and debone.
  • Mix whipping cream, eggs, and salt--dough will be sticky.
  • Place dough on floured surface.
  • Knead dough into flour until no longer sticky.
  • Once the dough is no longer sticky, begin rolling out on a floured surface.
  • Roll the dough paper-thin and cut into small pieces, about two inches by two inches.
  • Make sure the dough is generously covered in flour, because this will help thicken the broth.
  • After cutting the dumplings, put them on a plate.
  • Bring broth to a boil.
  • Add dumplings one at a time, making sure the dumpling just added swirls around enough that it won’t stick to the next dumpling.
  • Continue adding the dumplings until broth thickens to the desired consistency.
  • Add deboned chicken.
