SOUTHERN CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Stir in the onion, and cook until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Place the chicken breasts into the pot, skin-side-down. Pour in the chicken broth, and enough water to just cover the breasts. Bring to a simmer over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the chicken begins to fall off the bone, about 1 hour. Once cooked, remove the chicken breasts from the pot. Remove and discard the skin and bone; allow the meat to cool, then tear apart into bite sized chunks.
• While the chicken breast are simmering, prepare the dumpling dough by whisking the flour, baking powder, and 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt together in a mixing bowl. Work the vegetable shortening in with your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse cornmeal. Make a well in the middle and pour in the milk. Stir together until a stiff dough forms. Turn out onto a floured surface, and knead until smooth. Form the dough into 12 pieces, and set aside.
• After you've shredded the chicken, stir the cream of chicken soup, 2 cups water, salt, pepper, and shredded chicken back into the pot. Return to a simmer over medium-high heat. Drop the dumplings into the simmering broth one at a time to keep them from sticking together. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until the dumplings have puffed and are no longer doughy in the center, 10 to 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper; dredge in flour.

Remove chicken to a cutting board.
• When the chicken is cool enough to handle, pick the meat off of the bones (discard the skin and bones).
• Wipe out the pot that you used for the chicken and then whisk together the soups and milk. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat and whisk to a smooth consistency. Stir in the chicken, reduce heat to medium, and simmer for about 10 minutes. Stir in the peas and carrots and cook for 2 minutes to heat through. Add thyme and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• In a medium bowl, stir together baking mix and milk. Drop the dough by tablespoonfuls into the simmering broth; do NOT stir the dumplings and do not let your simmer go too fast (or the dumplings will fall apart). Cook the dumplings, uncovered, over medium-low heat for 10 minutes. Then cover the pot with a lid and continue cooking the dumplings for about 10 more minutes (or until firm to the touch and cooked through). Stay at a gentle simmer - do not let the pot come to a full boil.
