Chicken & Dumplings
- 3 -4 chicken quarters
- 3 tablespoons garlic powder
- 3 tablespoons seasoning salt
- 4 (8 ounce) cans biscuits (you can use either the buttermilk ones or regular and brand doesn't matter. I usually just buy store)
- 4 tablespoons flour
- In a large stockpot( I use a 8 qt) place your chicken 1/4 and fill with water to about half way.
- enough to cover your chicken and maybe 2 in above.
- Add your garlic powder and seasoning salt.
- Boil for about 30 to 45 minutes on high.
- Remove chicken, and let cool.
- DO NOT DISCARD LIQUID!
- In the meantime.
- remove about 4 C of the broth.
- and set aside to cool or place in freezer for faster cooling.
- Once your chicken is cooled, remove the meat from the bones, and discard bones and skin.
- And Place meat into the pot with the liquid that you boiled the chicken inches.
- Now, turn your heat to medium to medium-low.
- Open a can of the refrigerated biscuits, and roll them in your hands to make a rope shape, and start cutting them up, the size that you cut them is up to you, I cut them to bite size due to my kids.
- As you cut them place them in the pot with the chicken until you have all of them into the pot.
- Now while your pot is simmering, take the cooled liquid that you set aside earlier, and slowly add the flour and whisk.
- If you add the flour too fast it will clump and then you will have to sit there and mash out the clumps.
- Add the liquid to your pot.
- Now let everything simmer for about 30 - 45 minutes.
