Keep the dumplings frozen until ready to add to pan. Add one at a time to the broth to prevent them from sticking together. Ingredients:
4 chicken thighs, skinned |
4 chicken drumsticks, skinned |
4 cups fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth |
3 cups water |
1/2 cup chopped onion |
1/3 cup sliced celery |
1/3 cup sliced carrot |
3/4 teaspoon dried thyme |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 (12-ounce) package frozen dumplings (such as mary b's) |
2 teaspoons light butter |
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
Directions:
1. Combine first 9 ingredients in a Dutch oven. Bring to a boil; partially cover. Reduce heat; simmer 45 minutes or until chicken is done. Transfer chicken and vegetables to a large bowl, using tongs; cool slightly.
2. Bring broth to a boil. Separate frozen dumpling strips; break each strip in half. Add dumplings to broth, 1 at a time, stirring often to prevent sticking. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 25 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, remove chicken from bones; cut meat into bite-sized pieces.
4. Add chicken, butter, and pepper to dumpling mixture; stir well to combine. Simmer 10 minutes, covered, or until dumplings are tender.
