    The only changes I made were 1.) Doubling the dumpling recipe, since my daughter loves them and 2.) Adding a slurry of 3/4 cup cold milk and 2 Tbsp corn starch at the end and simmering for 2 minutes, since CB's recipe has a slightly creamy sauce. It turned out great!

    Steps

    1
    Done

    Place Chicken in a Dutch Oven. Add Water and 2 Teaspoons Salt. Bring to a Boil.

    2
    Done

    Cover, Reduce the Heat, and Simmer For 1 Hour or Until Tender (should Almost Fall Off Bone).

    3
    Done

    Remove the Chicken from the Broth and Cool. Bone the Chicken and Cut Meat Into Bite-Sized Pieces.

    4
    Done

    Bring the Broth to a Boil and Add Pepper.

    5
    Done

    Combine the Flour, Baking Soda, and Salt. Cut in the Shortening. Add the Buttermilk, Stirring With a Fork Until Moistened.

    6
    Done

    Knead the Dough 4 to 5 Times (never Done), and Pat to 1/2-Inch Pieces and Drop Into Boiling Broth (i Do not Pat It Out, Just Pinch Off Pieces). Reduce the Heat to Medium-Low, and Cook For About 8 to 10 Minutes, Stirring Occasionally.

    7
    Done

    Stir in the Chicken and Serve. I Make It in the Pressure Cooker, Much Quicker and Easier.

    8
    Done

    I Pressure It For Only 30 Minutes.

    9
    Done

    It Can Also Be Done in the Crockpot With 3-4 Cups Water but Someone Has That Book So at This Time I Cannot Give Cooking Times.

    Done

    Good Luck! Hope You Enjoy.
