If you
have never had old-fashioned Chicken and Dumplings, you are greatly missing out. This is such a savory, comforting meal that we find ourselves going back to time and time again.

## Ingredients

- 3 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 10 cups chicken broth, homemade or store-bought
- 2.5 cups White Lily AP flour
- 0.5 tsp baking powder
- 2 tbsp cold butter, cubed
- 1 cup milk
- Salt and pepper

## Instructions

1. Whisk together AP flour and baking powder in a medium bowl.
2. Add cold butter to dry ingredients and cut butter in with 2 forks or a pastry blender until a crumbly flour mixture is achieved.
3. Pour milk into the flour mixture and stir together until well combined.
4. Turn your dumpling dough out onto a countertop that has been generously dusted with flour. Sprinkle the top of your dumpling dough with flour before rolling out with a well-floured rolling pin. Roll dumpling dough out to a 1/4 inch thickness. If your dumpling dough is too sticky, add additional flour as needed to keep the dumpling dough from sticking to the countertop and rolling pin.
5. Cut dumplings into 2-inch squares with a pizza cutter or sharp knife. Lightly dust the top of the cut dumplings with flour.
6. Bring chicken broth to a boil. Once boiling, add shredded chicken to the chicken broth and stir.
7. Reduce heat to medium and add dumplings, one at a time, to the pot, stirring occasionally to ensure the dumplings do not stick together.
8. Allow dumplings to cook over medium heat for about 15-18 minutes. The broth thickens as the dumplings cook. To test a dumpling for doneness, take one out and taste it. It should not taste doughy once thoroughly cooked. Serve immediately!
