Hef's dad has been on a business trip for the past two and a half weeks, so to keep myself entertained I bought the complete set of Dr, Quinn, Medicine Woman. Man, it's a great show! Let me tell you I am one for a theme, which led to a big pot of hearty chicken and dumplings!
 |
| For the life of me I can't dice an onion, so when I spotted the already chopped on sale I took the easy way out. |
 |
| Step 1: Brown both sides of chicken thighs in oil, crispy yummy chicken skin! The skins are then discarded, but the pups and I had some as a little snack, just like peeling off the thanksgiving turkey! Reserve the chicken fat for the dumplings!Then sautee the veggies until they start to soften. |
 |
| Add some stock and milk and simmer until the chicken is falling off the bone. |
 |
| Shred the chicken and keep it simmering. |
Now I am not one for doughs or pasteries, so I was very pleased these turned out. I didn't give measurements before because when it comes to veggies or meat a little more or a little less won't hurt in my eye, but I fear the dough! So here is the exact if you try them, 2 cups flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and 1 teaspoon salt, mix that together. Then warm 1 cup milk with 3 tablespoons of reserved fat. and stir that into the flour mix.
 |
| Drop them into the pot, it was so easy! Let them simmer, covered, about 15 minutes until they are fluffed up nice! |
 |
| I DID IT! |
