Directions
Low Calorie yet Delicious Chicken and Baby Dumplings, I make this regularly. It is from an onld Richard Simmons cookbook I have. It is easy to make, tastes sinful, and is very hearty., Can I cook the chicken some way other than poaching?, This recipe is the best Chicken and Dumplings I have seen published. It very closely resembles my Mother’s which I learned more than 50 years ago. I am excited to see it and intend to prepare it very soon. Thank you!

This Recipe Calls For Poached Chicken Breasts, but I Like to Put 3 Cups of Water on the Stove to Simmer, and Add My Chicken to Cook While I Mix and Chop Everything Else. Add Salt, Pepper, and Anything Else You Like If You Would Like to Use This Simmering Liquid as Your Chicken Stock Later. Otherwise, Quickly Poach the Chicken and Use the Canned Stock. |
