Cheater Chicken Dumplings Recipes

"CHEAT" CHICKEN-N-DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• Boil chicken breast in water with bouillon cubes till tender.
• Remove chicken and cut into tiny chunks.
• Bring broth back to boil. (You may have to add a little more water or a can of chicken broth) Turn down heat where it is not a hard boil but boiling good.
• Pop open cans of biscuits. Pinch off biscuits and start rolling in balls dropping in broth. Continue pinching and dropping off as much biscuits as you want to add in your pot. (you may want to use more then two cans) Boil till biscuits don't look raw.
• Add chicken back to get the chicken hot. Add salt & pepper to taste.
• Serve. Fry some cornbread up and enjoy!

CHICKEN AND CHEATER DUMPLINGS - INSTANT POT

Steps:

• 1. Set Instant Pot to saute. Add the butter and when it has melted toss in the onions, carrots, celery and mushrooms. Saute until the celery and onion are slightly soft.
• 2. Add the potatoes and chicken to the Instant Pot and stir. Add the broth or water and Better Than Boullion and stir. Be sure that your ingredients are almost covered in liquid.
• 3. Hit the cancel button, put on the lid, move the vent to seal. Press the pressure cooker button and set your time for 12 minutes.
• 4. Prepare the dumplings. Put the mix into a small bowl then stir in the milk. Set aside.
• 5. When the 12 minutes is up do a quick release. Hit the cancel button. Once the button drops remove the lid and add the frozen peas. Take note of your liquid level .. if you need more then add a bit more broth or even some milk at this point. Then begin dropping in the dumpling batter.
• 6. Replace the lid then turn on slow cook and cook for 10 minutes. My timer won't go lower than 30 minutes on slow cook. When that 10 minutes is up do another quick release ..there won't be much pressure at all. Remove the lid, hit cancel then hit saute. Allow the ingredients to come to a boil and cook for 5 minutes.
• 7. Hit cancel .. let it sit for a couple of minutes then dish it up. Season as desired with salt and pepper.

~ CHEATER CHICKEN & DUMPLINGS ~

Steps:

• 1. In a large Dutch oven or soup pot, add the cleaned chicken, thyme, salt, pepper, bay leaf, carrots, celery, onion and sage if using, and cover with water at least 2 inches above the chicken. Bring to a boil and then simmer until chicken is cooked and juices run clear. Make sure it's cooked close to the bone. Roughly 1 1/2 hours. Remove chicken to cool. Strain broth and veggies into a large bowl and then add back to the pot.
• 2. Now, season with the chicken base, I like mine nice and flavorful. Keep tasting until you've got it right. Bring to a boil and when chicken is cool enough tear into bite sized pieces and add to the pot. Stir in butter and milk
• 3. Tear biscuits into fourths and toss lightly with flour. Once broth is boiling, add biscuits a little at a time, stirring so they don't stick together, include any remaining flour. Once all are added, simmer until biscuits are tender, about 30 minutes...stirring occasionally. Lastly stir in parsley.
• 4. Serve in bowls and enjoy...it will thicken up more as it cools and is even better the next day.
