Directions:Chicken:
1. Place chicken in Dutch oven. Cover with water.
2. Add salt and pepper to water.
3. Cook over medium heat until tender, about 45-50 minutes.
4. Remove chicken pieces- debone and skin.
5. After you remove all meat from bone, set aside.
Broth:
Bring chicken broth to a boil. Adds a chicken bouillon to flavor broth. I add more salt and pepper as needed.
Take cut dough strips ( Mother’s homemade or Debbie’s Substitutes, Mary Hill’s frozen dumpling strips, and drop pieces one at a time into bouling broth. After all are added, stir and turn down to simmer.
Add pieces of chicken, both white and dark meat to Broth until you have used about 3/4 if the chicken. (I save part of the chicken to make chicken salad).
After chicken is added, stir, season if needed and cover.
Simmer for about 30 minutes and serve.
Mother’s Dumplings:
Mix sifted self- rising flour, beaten egg, and hot water together and form into a dough ball.
On large board or countertop, sift flour on counter or board surface.
Place dough on floured surface, sift flour over dough and knead flour into dough, adding sifted flour until dough no longer sticks to surface or feels sticky when holding it.
1. Flour surface (chopping board or countertop) again.
2. Place dough on floured surface and pat It into a flat, round shape.
3. Using a rolling pin, roll from center of dough toward outer edge, going around dough until you have rolled diugh out very thin!
4. Cut into thin rolled strips. They will be long strips.
5. Cut each strip into 1-2” sections.
Dumplings then are ready to drop into boiling chicken broth! |

Notes: I made Mother’s dumplings from scratch for several years until I found out that Mary Hill’s frozen dumplings were made in Georgia, They are cut in strips and all you have to do is section them into smaller pieces. I think they are delicious and my family loves my dumplings. They taste Home made and save a lot of time.
If your broth is favored well with bouillon, salt and pepper, your dumplings will be delicious!
I think Mother would approve of Mary Hill’s Dumplings!
I serve dumplings with a side of black eyed-peas, creamed corn, and Homemade biscuits. Cranberry sauce is a necessity as a condiment!
This is one of my favorite dishes! Thank you Mother for passing down your legacy of delicious recipes! ♥️
Enjoy!
