My grandmother made the best chicken dumplings, and always in her pressure cooker. I have updated her recipe through the years and now have updated it to my electric pressure cooker. If you are using a traditional pressure cooker, just cook the chicken for 25 minutes after steam has signaled full pressure, and you add the indicator weight.
