Chicken & Dumplings - The Easy Diet Plan Menus

The Easy Diet Plan - Weight Loss Plan #2 - Part 1 Here

Sweet Sue makes a canned Chicken & Dumplings that can be on the table in a wink of the eye. Other ready-made options include Chicken & Dumplings soup versions.

However, when only homemade will do, we have a bunch of options, like these:

Old Fashioned Chicken & Dumplings

Quick Chicken & Dumplings

Or like this tasty, speedy recipe for Chicken & Dumplings:

Use drumsticks for a tastier chicken and dumpling recipe. Boil about half a dozen legs in water with chopped onion and chopped celery. Use just enough water to cover the legs about 1 inch so the broth will be very chicken-y.

Remove the legs when they are done; allow to cool and remove meat from the bone. While the legs are cooling, add bagged pasta dumplings to the boiling water. Use a spoon of olive oil if the dumplings appear as if they are trying to stick together during cooking. After dumpling are done, add 1 cup of skim milk to the pot. Stir and add the chicken, as well as pepper and salt to season.

Enjoy with a garden salad of lettuce, baby spinach, tomato and cucumber topped with balsamic vinegar as a dressing.

To calculate the calories in the dumplings, simply check the pasta bag. Chicken legs contain about 150 calories each.

If more chicken flavor is desired, add chicken bullion cubes or canned broth. For speedier preparation, canned broth can be used with cooked chicken. Store-bought roasted chicken works very well in recipe.
