muthafuckin chicken 'n dumplins

yankees who've never had this southern classic need to try it just once. So easy to make and impossible to mess up

96oz Chicken broth
1.5-2 lbs chicken (i use the breasts cause they they best)
Mary B's frozen dumplins
1 medium chopped onion (optional)

if you want the onion, go ahead and sautee it in a large pot with about 2-3 tbsp of butter for about 5 min. add all of the chicken broth and bring to heavy boil. add chicken to the boiling pot and continue boiling for about 15 min. remove chicken and let cool. while the chicken is cooling, slowly add strips of the dumplins and stir while adding to keep from sticking. boil the dumplins for about 12 min or whatever the package says. remove from heat. hand shred the now cooled chicken into whatever size you want and add to pot. if your batch looks real soupy add a lil bit of flour and stir it up. let it sit for about 15-20 min. eat it up by itself or with your favorite biscuits. i usually just add black pepper and wouldnt bother adding any salt with all that chicken broth.
