Cooking the Chicken:

Clean and cut chicken up.

Place in pot and nearly cover with water.

Cover and simmer gently for 1 to 2 hours.

Add potato flakes just before you add the dumplings.

About 20 minutes before serving, add dumplings and cook.

Just before serving add salt and pepper and a paste made from the flour and milk.

Cover and cook until ready to eat. It makes a big pot.

Makes about 20 (1 cup) servings.

This recipe figured out to be:
1 serving = 7 points

Note: We freeze the leftovers in gallon size freezer zip-lock bags for later use. This keeps in the freezer up to 3 months. If frozen, let it thaw completely overnight. Then you can heat it up in the microwave.
