This has been passed down in my family for a long time. The dumplings are firm, but very tender and it is a meal in itself. Big hit at pot luck dinners.

How To Make the best chicken and dumpling ever!

Place dough onto floured board and coat with flour and roll out fairly thin. Cut into strips about 3 inch x 3 inch and have the chicken broth boiling, drop dumplings into pot one at a time and stir until all cumplings are in the pot. Reduce heat and stir often to prevent sticking.
