Can you make chicken & dumplings without chicken broth?!
Answers: I forgot to buy a can, i do have chicken noodle soup -could drain the juice from that...What can i do so i can make them? (I can't go out to town today and i want to make them)
**********CHICKEN & DUMPLINGS
2 cans of can butter biscuits
1 can Cream of Chicken soup
3 bouillon cubes
1 tsp garlic salt (optional)
3 to 4 boneless chicken breast
Boil chicken breast until done (20 minutes). While chicken is boiling, prepare dumplings.
Roll out can of biscuits on a work surface sprinkled with flour. Make them as flat at you can and check that they have a light coating of flour. Set them aside.
When chicken is done, remove from pan and set aside to cool, saving the water in the pot that the chicken was cooked in. Skim any foam off the surface; you want to make sure you have a good bit of water in the pot, about 3/4 full. If water has boiled off, then just add more. Bring to a boil and add 1 can of Cream of Chicken, 2tbs butter, 3 boullion cubes, 1 tsp of garlic salt. Stir well
Over medium high heat, begin adding dumplings. Tear them into quarter size pieces and drop into the boiling water.
Hint: The less you stir the better they are, so after you add all of them, reduce the heat to medium setting, stirring only occasionally. Add chicken back into pot, tearing into small pieces. Cook until the dumplings are soft; this usually takes 30 to 45 minutes. I promise these are the best dumplings you will ever eat!. Enjoy!
Are you using a raw chicken.....then simply boil it, voila broth. I would not use the soup....do you have bouillon?
In a pinch, I've made flavoring by ripping open the little flavor packets that come with top ramen noodles. If not, try bullion, if U have it. Make it anyway, with the soup and experiment!
yes, boil that anyway, like you are making your own stock, you can add the broth from the soup if you want, and or use boullion too. add onion, celery or celery salt salt pepper garlic powder anything you season chicken with, and cook for awhile, itll work... ive done it many many times before..
just boil your chicken in some water, throw in some seasoning such as salt and pepper and garlic and a bay leaf, add some carrot and celery if available, and there's your chicken broth. when the chicken is done take it out and break it up. take out the veggies if you don't want them in. boil the broth and add your dumplings, when just about done add chicken back. re-season if needed.
