Chicken and Dumplings using Tortillas..

In an earlier post I told you about Aunt Bertha's wonderful Chicken and Dumplings. I have to tell you the easier version for dumplings that we use most often.

Cook the chicken in boiling water with salt, pepper, 3 stalks celery chopped and 1 small onion chopped. When tender remove from the water and let cool. Remove from bone and chop.
Use flour tortillas and cut them into strips.Add about 1 1/2 cups chopped chicken back to water. Bring the water you cooked the chicken to a level of a little over half the pot. Bring to a boil and lay the sliced tortillas on top of the water, one at a time. When you have them all in the pot do not stir. Take the back of your spoon and push the tortillas down into the broth and turn the burner off and cover with lid. Do not stir.   That's very important. Serve immediately with dressing and giblet gravy.
