Ok @Songbird76 had a quick minute to type it up

Southern Chicken 'n Dumplings

You can basically cook the chicken anyway you normally do, cool then shred. Or, you can follow these instructions. I used two big chicken and did them in the instant pot with 1 cup water and 1 cup chicken stock. It is a quicker version. You can do the chicken in a pressure cooker too.

Long version:

4 lb. chicken, whole fresh
6-8 cups water
4 cups unsalted chicken stock
1/2 Tablespoon black peppercorns
2 celery stalks, chopped
2 carrots, cut into 1 inch pieces
2 bay leaves
1 onion, peeled and cut into wedges
1/2 bunch flat-leaf parsley

Put chicken in pot with the vegetables and spices. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer, uncovered for 1 hour. Skim off foam. Remove from heat. Let stand until cool enough to shred.

Dumplings

Combine 2 cups flour, 4 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt (can leave salt out if on low sodium diet).
Whisk together. Cut in 3-4 Tablespoons butter to resemble coarse meal. Add 1 cup milk or buttermilk. Mix to moisten. Then, into the leftover stock from the chicken (you can add more boxed chicken stock if needed), drop spoonfuls of the dough in stock. Cover. Simmer for 10 mts. Then, stick a knife into a dumpling to make sure it is cooked.

Mix in shredded chicken to dumplings and gently stir. Heat until chicken is warmed. Serve. Enjoy!

You're broken. Normal people would be delighted to see the owl 😂😂
I love seeing owls. In trees or the air.
In my coffee.

We finally settled on the Super Bowl food. Pork tacos with broccoli slaw, hummus and chips, and leftover treats I had in the freezer from Christmas. 😊

I've got wings ready to cook tomorrow and to go with them, a big ole pot of chili, some pickles with cream cheese wrapped in ham, hummus and pork rinds. And, a veggie tray with ranch dip and spinach and artichoke dip too. Don't really care anything about the actual game but we always enjoy watching the commercials. There is one I saw a preview of that looks like a standout, a paralympics/Toyota ad that looks like it might be a good one. Oh, and I don't have a lot of interest in the half-time show this year. Not a clue who this weekend fella is.
