In a large pot, place aproximately three pounds of chicken breast filets and about 8 cups water. Add a sprig of fresh rosemary, a sprig of fresh sweet basil, about 1/2 teaspoon of fresh ground black pepper and a teaspoon of sea salt(seasalt has a better flavor than table salt and is healthier). Coarsely chop up one medium carrot, a celery stalk and a small onion. Add this to the pot and bring to a rapid boil. Cut the heat down to a simmer for about 45 minutes, covered. While simmering prepare your dumplings:





Dumpling recipe:


2 1/2 cups plain flour


1/2 teaspoon sea salt mixed into flour


cool water (stir into flour mixture enough to make a stiff dough)





Knead the dough until stiff. Use a floured rolling pin and roll out until the dough is about as thin as a thin pizza crust. Cut into about one inch wide strips about four inches long. After the chicken has simmered for aproximately 45-60 minutes, add the dumplings and cook until the dumplings thicken and turn slightly, up to about 30 minutes. The chicken should be beginning to shred and the mixture thickening up. It is now ready to serve(serves aprox.6).


Serve with some fresh, home made, thick sliced, garlic bread.


Use a thick sliced loaf of wheat bread smeared with a mixture of 5 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 heaping tablespoon of dried basil and a teaspoon of minced garlic stirred in. Coat both sides and bake at 350 degrees until golden brown in the oven. Prepare this during the final 20 minutes cooking time of the chicken and dumplings.


Serve with a fresh garden salad of your choice.


Total preparation time- aprox. 90-105 minutes.
