But mmmmm good! LOL!

I can’t take credit for it though. For 20 years it was go to granny’s house, Jeanie, my ex sister in law would wring a chickens neck, and we wives would all work together on Sunday’s Chicken & Dumplings dinner. LOL!

That way of making Dumplings came from granny. Granny got it from her mother in law. So it was passed down through my ex husbands family.

Some people like veggies with C&D. I don't. Merely keeping an open mind -- for those who do like veggies, the fact remains that the best time to add them is just before adding the dumplings.

Why use chicken stock to start? You're making chicken stock when you boil the chicken. Add a boullion cube or two, maybe, but why in the world use chicken stock in place of water?

GFS Marketplace had a great canned version, and I’m one who loves homemade chicken and dumplings.

Boil the chicken

Cook some of the broth down to thicken.

Add dumplings cut into strips from Pilsbury Crescent Rolls

or....

Buy Sweet Sue canned chicken with dumplings

or

go to Cracker Barrel and spend $6.99

The latter is the best course because they serve a great product in large quantity. (plus, you get buscuits to which can be liberally applied some molasses)

Perhaps I should explain my method further. I find the 10# bags of legs on sale cook and debone and can them. I get 5-6 pints of meat and 8-10 pints of stock. I do start with water when I cook the chicken. I try not to keep much in the freezer because of power loss during storms.

Ah, sorry, I misunderstood your earlier post (hangs head).

Since you very clearly know what you're doing, I was puzzled by (what I thought was) the use of chicken stock.

\ Doesn't pay to be too analytical, does it...(muttering at self)?

One of the things I got over really early in life was being “too delicate” for food prep, be it a chicken, rabbit, squirrel or deer, or vegetables for that matter (puttin’ in a small garden this year). Later in life you get to delegate or shop in a good store but the experience remains.

I’m way late, but here goes:

I smoke the bird ( or rabbit or treerat ) over pecan wood. Mix milk with cream of mushroom soup, celery, a pinch of fresh rosemary, and a stick of real butter....
Smoked meat will fall off the bone... Bring meat and mix to a boil.. add flour tortillas...wait 15 minutes and pig out..

treerat is a squirrel
