Weight Watchers Southern Style Chicken Dumplings Recipe 42

Steps:

• Heat a large saucepan over medium heat until hot. Swirl in the oil, then add the celery, carrots, onion, garlic, and thyme. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the broth and chicken. Bring to a boil; reduce the heat, cover, and simmer 10 minutes. Add the green beans and simmer until the vegetables are tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in the parsley. Meanwhile, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Stir the water into the flour mixture just until moistened. Drop the dough, by rounded teaspoonfuls, onto the simmering stew, making 12 dumplings. Cover and simmer until the dumplings have doubled in size and are cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes.

• 1. Heat oil in a dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onion, celery, and carrot; saute 10 minutes or until tender. Add chicken, broth, water, and thyme; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer, uncovered, 15 minutes.
• 2. While soup simmers, lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Combine flour, baking powder, rosemary, and salt into a bowl. Cut in butter with a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixtures resembles coarse meal. Add buttermilk, stirring just until moist.
• 3. Drop dough by heaping teaspoonfuls into simmering chicken mixture. Cover and cook over low heat 11 minutes (do not let soup boil). YIELD: 6 servings (serving size: about 3/4 cup chicken mixture and 3 dumplings).

Steps:

• In a heavy pot with a lid place the chicken, onion, lemon, salt, pepper, water, bay leaf and thyme. Simmer all over low heat until tender, about 1 hour.
• Let chicken cool slightly in pot, then remove and take the meat off of the bones. Discard the bones and skin and skim excess fat off the broth if desired. Discard the onion, lemon and bay leaf. If desired, wash out pot well. Return broth and chicken pieces to the pot. Simmer over low heat while making the dumplings.
• To Make Dumplings: In a medium mixing bowl, cut shortening into the flour and salt. Stir in 1/4 cup water (more if needed) to form a soft dough. Roll out dough on a floured surface, with a rolling pin, until very thin. Cut into 1 inch wide strips using a pizza cutter or knife. Tear off 1 inch long pieces from these strips and drop into simmering broth and chicken meat. Simmer for 10 minutes with the lid off, then 10 minutes more with the lid on. Serve immediately.
