Chicken N' Dumplins


MMMMMM, it's that time of year when I start thinking about making my favorite dish. You know, it's cold enough to really enjoy a nice steaming bowl of Chicken N' Dumplins! So, here is the recipe that I use for those days you just want to sit under a blanket next to a fire.
I have also started trying to think of some recipes to make and freeze part of it for when the baby comes and I don't feel like cooking. This is one of those recipes. If you've got one, send it to me!!!!

Ok, here we go...

1 large whole chicken
broth from cooked chicken
3/4 cup milk
2 small cans cream of chicken soup
4 cans (8-10 count) biscuits...not flaky

Boil chicken in large pot until tender. Salt and pepper to taste. Remove chicken to cool and de-bone. Reserve broth in pot. Add milk and soup to broth and bring to a boil on medium heat. Cut biscuits into halves and drop in boiling liquid one at a time, stirring and folding biscuit dough into liquid as they rise. Turn heat down to medium low and let biscuits cook until done. De-bone chicken and fold into dumplings until well mixed. Add salt and pepper as needed. These are best the day after you cook them. Serves 6-8

Carne Guisada-- freezable

2-4 lbs stew meat
2 cans peeled tomatoes (huge cans)-- run through blender until smooth
2 tiny cans chopped green chiles
1 onion chopped to bite size pieces
Salt to taste
1 tbsp Minced garlic or garlic powder to taste

Put uncooked meat in large pot. Cover with tomatoes and chilis. Add in onion and garlic.

Simmer for 3 hours, adding salt to taste. Meat should be very tender.

Serve over rice, topped with cheddar shreds. Tortilla chips are a great side, too.
