Ingredients:  
1 Whole Chicken

1 Large Egg
Chicken Broth, reserved from boiling chicken
Flour, as needed
Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste
Garlic Powder, to taste
Onion Powder, to taste

Directions:
Directions:
Boil the whole chicken in a large pot with the onion and seasonings. Once done, remove the chicken to cool, saving the remaining liquid for use in cooking the dumplings. Debone the chicken once it has cooled.

While the chicken is cooling, add a large amount of flour to a mixing bowl. Season the flour, add the egg, and enough warm water to make the flour into a dough ball.

Flour a flat surface and add a small amount of dough that is lightly floured. Roll the dough out until it is about ¼ inch thick. Cut the dough into strips and drop them into the boiling stock from the chicken. Repeat until all dough is gone. Reduce the heat as needed.

Debone and chunk or shred the chicken and add them to the pot.

Dumplings are done when they float. Stir just enough to keep dumplings from sticking to the bottom.

Add chicken broth as needed to ensure enough liquid remains in the pot.
