Ingredients:
3 1/2 lb chicken
1 water to cover
1/2 onion
1 salt and pepper to taste
1 garlic powder
1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
3 tbsp vegetable shortening
2/3 cup milk (up to 3/4 cup)
Instructions:
Place chicken in a large pot and almost cover with water. Add onion
half, salt and pepper and garlic powder. Bring to boil, reduce heat
to simmer and cook, covered for 50 minutes, or until chicken tests
done. Remove from heat and pull chicken from pot. When cool enough to
handle, remove skin and discard. Remove meat and pull into serving
pieces. Discard chicken bones and onion from pot. Skim fat from the
top of stock.
Return chicken pieces to the pot of stock.
Meanwhile, in a medium mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder and
salt.
Cut in shortening, and enough milk so that batter is smooth but not
too runny. Bring pot of chicken and stock to a simmer, then drop
batter by spoonfuls into the hot liquid. Let cook 5 minutes,
uncovered, then cover the pot and cook another 5-7 minutes, or until
dumplings test done. Serve broth, chicken and dumplings in soup bowls
and season to taste.

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.
"The key to everything is patience. You get the chicken by hatching the egg - not by smashing it." - Arnold Glasow
