Chicken and Dumplings:-)

My love had to work a long shift today. 8:30 this morning until 9 tonight so I did some light cleaning around the house, but my itty already got everything dirty looking again. I guess its ok though because she helped me make the dumplings for our meal. Se did a good job:-)  a good job making a mess as you can see. After I made the dumplings she put the empty flour bowl on her head. She definatly knows how to make me giggle like a little school girl. Which is sad since I'm way out of school. I don't know what I'd do without her in my life well with out her or her daddy. But that's another post:-)  this was a very easy meal to make and took no time at all and hit the spot, a good stick to your ribs soup.
chicken and dumplings
1 skinless boneless chicken breast
2 tbs chicken stock boulion
2 cups of water

Boil the chicken in the water and boulion mixed together. Boil until the chicken is cooked through and then shredd it up. Place it back into the stock water. I added about a tbs more chicken boulion. And a cup more water at this time

Dumplings
1 1/2 c self rising flour
1 tbs veg oil
1 tsp seasoning salt( I like Weber)
Water

I know there's no measurement for the water, I used one of my tea cups.
Mix all ingredients until its not sticky and there's no more flour on the outside of the dough
Pinch of little bits of dough depending how big and how many dumplings you want.
roll them nto balls and add them to chicken and stock
Place the lid onto pan and let the little guys simmer about 3-4 minutes
At the end add a little bit of cornstarch mixed with water if you want it a bit thicker. I did this to make
More of a broth/gravey so my itty had an easier time eating it.

She loved the chicken and broth/gravyd had fun squishing the dumplings before eating them.
We also add pepper to our own because I like mine hot hot and itty does not:-)  daddy hasn't had his yet because he's still at work. To bad for him:-)
