Ingredients
1 1/2
cups
flour
2
tsp
baking powder
1/2
tsp
salt
1
tsp
salted butter
3/4
c
milk
Instructions
Place your chicken leftovers in a pot and turn to medium heat.
Cover with a lid and wait for boil.
In a bowl add the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Stir well.
Using a fork, blend in the salted butter.
Slowly add the milk.
When your chicken mixture starts to boil, add dough by spoonfuls allowing it to rest on chicken and vegetables. You don't want it to sink.
Turn down the heat to medium-low and cover.
Let steam cook the dumplings for about 15-20 minutes.
If you have any leftover dumpling mixture you can freeze it for future use.
