Ingredients:
6 chicken pieces, -or- whole chicken - skin
3 qt water
1 onion, finely chopped
2 celery stalks - finely chopped
1 carrot (more if desired) - finely c, hopped
2 tbsp cornstarch (optional) - dissolved i, n:
1/3 cup cold water
2 sprigs fresh rosemary (3)
DUMPLINGS
3 sprigs fresh rosemary (3)
1 1/4 cup water
2 cup buttermilk baking mix
Instructions:
Add the chicken to the water in a stockpot and bring to a boil;
simmer, covered, about 20 minutes or until tender. Remove the chicken
to a plate to cool. Add the onion, garlic, celery, and carrots to
the stock and bring to a simmer. Cut or tear the chicken into 2-inch
pieces and return it to the stock. Simmer for about 30 minutes, or
until all the vegetables are very tender. Stir the cornstarch mixture
into the stock if you like a thick sauce. DUMPLINGS: While the
vegetables are cooking, bring to a boil 1-1/4 cups water in a small
pan. Turn off the heat and add three sprigs of rosemary. Cover and
let steep for 30 minutes. Strain the rosemary tea and mix with about
2 cups of biscuit mix, slightly more if mixture is very gooey. Bring
the chicken stock back to a low boil and drop scant teaspoons of
dumpling batter into the bubbles. Gently push each dumpling aside
with a spoon to keep dumplings from clumping together. Add two more
rosemary sprigs, lower heat, cover, and simmer 5 to 10 minutes.
Servings: 4
Chicken is ideal
for weight loss
and dieting
Healthy eating is far better than strict dieting, and weight loss achieved by a change of lifestyle lasts far longer than 'faddy' diets that are difficult to adopt for long periods.
Cooking more low fat chicken can enable you to lose weight gradually as part of a a controlled and healthy diet.
"Stupidity is the devil. Look in the eye of a chicken and you'll know. It's the most horrifying, cannibalistic, and nightmarish creature in this world." - Werner Herzog
