Easy Chicken and Dumplings


ingredients 1 1/2 cups fat-free half and half 1 cup froze peas and carrots A whole chicken simmered on low until done; place chicken in Fridge until next day and debone it saving the chicken broth. 1 1/2 Cups of Homemade white sauce 1 Pound of sauteed mushrooms 1 Cup of chicken broth Grandma's Homemade dumplings 1/3 cup fat-free half and half Paprika, if desired directions 1. In 8-quart saucepan, heat 1-1/2 cups fat-free half and the half, add the chicken broth, the frozen peas and carrots, chicken and white sauce.
2. Make Grandma's Homemade dumplings. INGREDIENTS Nutrition SERVINGS 6-8 YIELD 1 big pot UNITS US 2 cups flour 1 teaspoon baking powder, scant 1 tablespoon Crisco 1 teaspoon Crisco 1 pinches salt 1 pinches pepper 3⁄4 cup water DIRECTIONS Mix the first 6 ingredients together until combined. Slowly add the water until you form a dough. You may have to add more or less water to form the ball. Roll out the dumpling dough on a floured surface thin and cut into bite size pieces. Drop them one at a time into simmering chicken/broth. She would always drop a few then wait a bit, then drop a few more. She said this kept them from sticking together in the end. After they are all added, give a gentle stir (once or twice around the pot, then leave it alone). Let the dumplings simmer in the chicken/broth mixture until they float to the top (about 15 minutes or so). I have let them simmer a longer, and that's fine. She would taste the broth one last time after the dumplings were done for seasoning before we got to eat them! . Sprinkle with paprika. 3. Cook uncovered over low heat 10 minutes. Cover and cook 10 minutes longer. I often make the white sauce ahead and freeze it.
Homemade white sauce 2 tablespoons butter 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 cup Fat-free half and half 5 m Cook 10 m Ready In 15 m In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Add flour and stir until the butter and flour is well combined. Pour in milk, stirring constantly as it thickens. Add more milk depending on desired consistency. Ingredients
Sauteed mushrooms One can use all kinds of mushrooms I think everyone has a favorite mushroom. I often use dried ones from the oriental stores. They store well and only have to be soaked in water to reconstitute them. 1/8 cup vegetable oil 1 teaspoon chopped garlic 1 cup sliced white onion 1 cup sliced button mushrooms 1 cup sliced shiitake mushrooms 1 cup cleaned and sliced portobello mushrooms 1 tablespoon butter 1 tablespoon chopped thyme leaves Salt and freshly ground black pepper Directions Heat a large skillet to high heat and add the oil. Wait 1 or 2 minutes for it to come up to the smoking point. Add the onion and garlic and toss furiously so that the garlic doesn't burn. When the onions become translucent add the mushrooms and toss until all mushrooms are golden brown and caramelized. Remove from the heat. Add butter and thyme and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve immediately. Cook's Note: Never run mushrooms directly under water; they will absorb water like a sponge, and your saute will be far too soggy. Instead, using a slightly damp paper towel, wipe mushrooms down. Alternatively, use pastry brush and dust the dirt from the mushrooms. Per Serving: cal. (kcal) 290, Fat, total (g) 9, chol. (mg) 35, sat. fat (g) 2, carb. (g) 35, fiber (g) 1, sugar (g) 11, pro.

Cup of homemade white sauce. Béchamel Sauce Recipe Béchamel is a basic white sauce and one of the five mother sauces of classical cuisine. That means it's the starting point for making other sauces, like the Cheddar Cheese sauce and the Mornay sauce. You can also season it and serve it as-is. Or try making it with bacon or sausage fat for an amazing white gravy. Also see these 7 Béchamel Sauce Variations. INGREDIENTS 2½ cups whole milk 2 Tbsp clarified butter, or ¼ stick unsalted butter (about 30 grams) 1/3 cup all-purpose flour (also 30 grams) ¼ onion, peeled 1 whole clove Kosher salt, to taste Ground white pepper, to taste Pinch of ground nutmeg (optional) ADD TO SHOPPING LIST SAVE RECIPE View list - Saved recipes Powered by Prep Time: 5 minutes Cook Time: 20 minutes Total Time: 25 minutes PREPARATION In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, bring the milk to a simmer over a medium heat, stirring occasionally and taking care not to let it boil. Meanwhile, in a separate heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until it's liquefied. Don't let it turn brown, though — that'll affect the flavor. With a wooden spoon, stir the flour into the melted butter a little bit at a time, until it is fully incorporated into the butter, giving you a pale-yellow-colored paste. This paste is called a roux. Heat the roux for another minute or so to cook off the taste of raw flour.
