Chicken and Dumplings

Ingredients:

1 package bone-in skin-on chicken breasts
1 qt chicken broth
6-8 cups of water, plus more to add later
salt
pepper
crushed red pepper flakes
1 stalk celery
1 carrot
1/2 onion
2 cloves garlic
2 cans cream of mushroom soup
1 can evaporated milk
1 package of frozen dumplings, Mary B's brand

Directions:
Boil the chicken breasts in the chicken broth, water, salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes.
Remove from cooking water when it's cooked and shred. I used only half of my chicken and reserved the rest for chicken salad-- yum!
Add the dumplings to the boiling cooking water and cook according to package directions. Meanwhile, finely chop onions, carrots, celery, and garlic and saute in butter in a separate pan. Add the contents of this pan to the dumplings and broth. Once the dumplings are done, stir in the soup and evaporated milk.

Enjoy!!
