Recipe Notes
Optional Stovetop Directions:
(take chicken breasts and oven bake them on 350 degrees until they shred- or use rotisserie chicken to speed up the process. put the chicken into about an inch of chicken broth and bring it to a boil. Make the dumplings as directed and add them to the boiling stock. Bring the broth down to a simmer and cook for about 20 minutes- or until dumplings are tender.)
