A few days ago I was looking for something to make for dinner. My roommates and I were all pretty broke, and I went delving into the fridge and pantry to see if I could whip something up.
I found 2 boneless chicken breasts that expired about a week and a half ago, and figured with some rigorous boiling we wouldn't be going hungry. There's 4 of us and 2 chicken breasts wouldn't go very far, so I turned to my old friend the internet for some advice. I decided on this recipe from southernplate.com for some home-made chicken and dumplings.
The recipe however called for chicken stock, which I neither have nor know how to make, and I was afraid to just omit it because I didn't want it all to be too bland to eat. I instead added water and a package of dry onion soup powder. My dumplings turned out brown but they were DELICIOUS.
It also turns out that chicken and dumplings lets you stretch 2 chicken breasts pretty far, and it tasted so good, the meal has now been added to our bi-weekly rotation.
If you try it, tell me what you think, you definitely won't regret it.
