Ingredients:

4 Cups of Chicken Broth

1 1/2 Cups of Water

1 1/2 lbs of Chicken (Light or Dark Meat)

1 Cup of Milk

2 Tablespoons of Butter

2 Cups of Flour

1/2

1 Cup of Buttermilk

Salt and Pepper

Directions:

Place the raw chicken along with 4 cups of chicken broth and 1 1/2 cups of water into a Instant Pot and cook for 1 hour on manual pressure.

Once the chicken is cooked, release the pressure out of the instant pot and remove the lid and place the chicken onto a plate. Shred the chicken using two forks.

Add 1 Cup of milk and 2 Tablespoons of butter to the broth mixture and bring to a boil.

In a separate bowl begin combining your dumplings ingredients, flour, crisco, salt, pepper and buttermilk. Mix the ingredients well.

Drop your dumplings into the broth until all of the mixture is put into the broth.

Boil and cook the broth and dumpling mixture for around 15 to 20 minutes. You do not have to put the lid back on the pot.

Once you have boiled the dumpling mixture, place your chicken back into the mixture and stir well.

Serve in a bowl or plate and enjoy!

This is a true Southern comfort food that has been in my family for generations. Chicken Dumplings is good whether it is served on a nice rainy or stormy day or even as a warm Supper on a frigid Winter snowy day.
