1

– Put chicken breasts, chicken broth, chicken base, celery, onion, and dried parsley into a pot and add enough water to completely cover the chicken. Skim any fat off the top as it comes up and reserve for later. If using a cooked rotisseries chicken, remove bones and skin and add to the pot.

2

– Strain the broth and return it to the pot. If it is too salty, add water. If it is too weak, you can simmer it down more or add more chicken base.

3

– If the chicken had little fat on the top, add about 1/2 stick of butter to the fat. Add milk and beaten eggs.

4

– Place flour into a large mixing bowl. Make a well in the center, add the egg mixture, and stir. If it seems too dry, add some broth from the pan. Sprinkle countertop with flour, place dough on counter, and add a little extra flour on top. Roll dough. Cut dumplings.

5

– Bring the broth back to boil, drop in the dumplings one at a time so they don’t stick to each other. Boil together and stir often so they don’t stick to the bottom and burn. Then, put a lid on them and turn the heat off. Let them sit for about an hour.

Enjoy!
