Well, we are back on track this week after taking a fall break last week to spend some time in East Texas with our family! I decided awhile back that at least once a week, I would like the girls to start helping with dinner. This is a HUGE deal for me because, typically, I prefer to be ALONE in the kitchen!! Too much chaos and I cannot focus on the all important task at hand!
Anyway, Tuesday night, the menu was a MUCH REQUESTED chicken and dumplings. Because my recipe is completely simple and takes no culinary skills whatsoever, I thought it would be the perfect meal for our young chefs! (Any and all REAL cooks should stop reading now! This rendition of chicken and dumplings completely dishonors any real dumpling recipe!)
JP was in charge of pulling the bought-from-Walmart-rotisserie-chicken off of the bone and cutting it into bite size pieces!
What a magnificent job she is doing!!
Abster was in charge of opening the canned biscuits and cutting them into bite size pieces! Which she executed beautifully!
I helped them put the chicken and “dumplings” into the boiling stock. Then, we all patiently waited the required 25-30 minutes until dinner was ready!
Everyone was super pleased with the results…
I must say that teaching these two how to make chicken and “dumplings” was actually a very pleasant experience! Only time will tell if I am able to keep my “once a week” commitment to our home economics course!
