Chicken and dumplings

What a lazy day I had today with my boys. It is days like this I enjoy most. Laying around and not getting in a hurry to do a thing. My poor boys came to me a couple of times asking when we were going to have breakfast or lunch.

We have a visitor over tonight...He is my oldest son's friend from his old school. This child is so finicky. I have to laugh, because there are not very many things my boys won't eat. I am so thankful for that. I learned a lesson a long time ago, that my dear mother taught me. She told me to never make something else for your child because he doesn't like what you fixed or he wants something else. It was hard, because you know as well as I do, that we like to make our little chicks happy. But, I did as she instructed and today I have two boys that will eat most anything I place in front of them.

One of the things my boys love so much is my chicken and dumplings...This is a simple recipe and I hope you will try it and enjoy it.

6 cans of low sodium, fat free chicken broth
2 pkgs of chicken tenders
8 cheap cans of biscuits (I buy the store brand)
1 can of fat free mushroom soup
1 can of milk (Clean out your can of soup)
salt to taste
2 tsp of pepper
1 tsp garlic salt

In a large soup/stock pan pour the cans of broth in, add 2 cans of water. Add in your chicken and boil for approximately 14 mins. till cooked through. Add can of mushroom soup, then fill can with milk (I like 2%) and pour into pan. I like to add my garlic salt and salt now. Lower heat to low and begin to pinch off biscuits into 4 pcs. (note: I usually open all cans and drop onto the soup pan lid) You will have to stir your biscuits with a wooden spoon occasionally to get them under the broth mixture. As you get to the last 2 cans turn the heat up to high and begin to boil. Add your pepper now. Let boil for about 8 mins. Serves about 10 bowls, lots of dumplings. They re-heat well. I like to serve my dumplings with corn bread and sliced cheese.

Well, I have an Avon order to place and then I am off to bed. See you tomorrow.
