If you have leftover baked chicken from Walmart or Reasors, etc and don't know what to do with it, I do! Put the chicken in a pan large enough to cover it with water. Place entire chicken and that glorious gel in the bottom of the container in the pot, pour enough water over the chicken to cover it. Don't use tap water! Add one chopped onion, 3 celery stocks chopped and a hand full of chopped mini carrots. Boil until onions are tender and the chicken is falling off the bone. Remove the chicken and bones from the pot, remove the chicken from the bones and place back in the pot. Add garlic powder, salt and pepper to taste. Let simmer until the dumplings are ready to be added.
Dumplings:
2 packed cups almond flour
1 tsp salt
2 tsp garlic powder
2-3 eggs
Add, almond flour, salt and garlic powder in a mixing bowl. Add eggs one at a time, mix well. When dough is the consistency to shape in balls you've added enough eggs. Shape in balls about the size of a walnut.
Turn up the heat on the chicken broth, bring to a boil. Keep dumplings cool by placing them in the fridge while you are waiting for the broth to boil. I made my dumplings while I brought the broth to a boil so I never place them in the fridge. Drop the dumplings in the boiling broth. DO NOT stir or they will break apart. Put a lid on the boiling pot and cook about 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, remove the lid and cook another 5 minutes. Still do no stir. Now enjoy! Serve with a salad and you have a great meal!
