Chicken Noodles & Dumplings

This is also dedicated to my Momma. This is the ultimate comfort food of my childhood. Its amazingly easy and you can completely modify it to your personal preferences. It is THE perfect belly warming cold weather dinner!

Ingredients:
1 whole chicken("presents" on the inside removed, and chicken rinsed off)
1 package frozen klusky style noodles
**For the dumplings, you may use your favorite recipe. My mom used the Bisquick dumpling recipe.

Directions:
1.Place the chicken into a pot large enough to be covered by a couple of inches of water, bring to a boil, tun the heat down to a simmer. Simmer until when you grab the chicken by the leg, it comes off.
2.Take the chicken out of the pot, & let sit until cool enough to handle. Keep the pot simmering on the stove(I like to add some chicken bouillon to taste). When the chicken is cool enough to handle, de-bone it and shred the meat. Place the meat back in the pot & discard the bones(or keep to make chicken stock later).
3.Turn the heat back up on the pot & bring to a boil. When water is boiling, add noodles.
4.After you add the noodles, follow your favorite dumpling recipe. When the dumplings are done, season with salt & pepper(maybe add some chopped fresh parsley for color) and enjoy!
MMMM I am toasty thinking of this!
