Chicken 'n' Dumplings


Chicken 'n' Dumplings

2 lbs chicken breasts, uncooked, cubed
1 cup chopped onion
2 cups thinly sliced celery
1/4 cup flour
10 cups chicken broth
2 cups sliced carrots
1tsp Thyme, dried


Buttermilk Biscuits

2 cups flour
1T baking powder
3/4 c buttermilk


Mix flour and powder. Add buttermilk and mix until a soft dough forms.

******************************

In a large greased soup pot brown the chicken and onions. Add the celery and sautee for a few more minutes. Slowly stir in chicken broth, thyme and carrots. Bring to a boil stirring occasionally. Cover, reduce heat and cook until carrots are tender and chicken is cooked all the way through-about 20 minutes. Meanwhile mix up the dumplings and drop by spoonfuls on top of the soup. Cover and cook until dumplings are done-about 15 minutes. Enjoy!


**Note: I added 2 cups sliced potatoes and 1 cup green beans to my soup tonight. And next time I make it I'll be thickening the soup. It was a bit too thin for my liking, but the rest of the family loved it!**
