    -At this point, you may remove half of the mixture to freeze for a later meal.
    -Remove chicken from the pot and let it cool until it can be handled.

    -Reduce heat to simmer, cover and cook 15 to 20 minutes.

    -4 to 6 servings.

    Dumplings:
    -Sift dry ingredients together.
    -Stir in green onions (or chives).
    -Cut in shortening with a pastry blender or 2 knives until the mixture resembles corn meal.
    -Add milk and stir until dough forms a ball that leaves the sides of the bowl.

    -Roll out 1/4 inch thick.
    -Cut into strips 1/2x4 inches.
