Preparation Time: 10 mins
Cooking Time: 1 hrs

Ingredients:

1 potful water
1 1/2 lb chicken, white or dark, with bone and skin
1 large egg
1 cup flour
1 (32 oz.) bag frozen corn kernels
1 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley
1 dash each salt and ground black pepper, or to taste

Directions:

Place chicken in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 30 to 45 minutes.

Meanwhile, beat egg in a small bowl. Gradually add flour while whisking with a fork until small pieces of dough form.

When chicken is thoroughly cooked, remove from pot. Remove skin and debone the chicken. Cut chicken into bite sized pieces and return it to the pot. Add corn and parsley. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-high. Drop small pieces of the dumpling mixture into the boiling soup.

Add salt and pepper to taste.

Variations:

Two handfuls of egg noodles can be substituted for the dumplings.

If using boneless/skinless chicken, add 1 tablespoon of chicken bouillon to the pot when you add the corn.
