Ingredients
 

  • 1 large fryer or 3-4 large chicken breasts
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/3 cup Crisco shortening
  • about 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 refrigerated pie crusts

Directions

  • Boil chicken in salted water and debone. Make sure you have plenty of broth.
  • Add flour, salt, and Crisco to food processor then slowly add broth until the dough forms a ball. You should use approximately 1 cup of broth.
  • Roll out very thin on floured surface (so thin you can read a newspaper through it). Cut into strips approximately 1" X 2". (I use a pizza cutter.)
  • Drop into boiling broth then add chicken. Cook on low heat 12-15 minutes until sauce thickens.
  • Unroll 1 pie crust and place into the bottom of a greased round baking dish. Fill with chicken, dumplings, and sauce. Top with remaining pie crust.
  • Bake in 350 degree oven for 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Notes

Serve with cornbread and a green salad.
