that Arab gives it something fire and I tasted it and I know it's right so once I get it on here like this you know what I mean then I shake it off once my oils up the temp then we're going to go ahead and start Browning you know our chicken okay so you shake off your excess right and then you want to go and just put it down I'm gonna start with the bottom part of the you know of the brush right so now I'm gonna go ahead and do the rest of them we're gonna get these in here and we're gonna go ahead and brown them we're not gonna cook them we just want to Brown them [Music] oh okay so if you guys take a look you'll see take this chicken out I went a little far on that side you know I mean you guys do it how you want to I like for it to be just a little bit Brown that right there you guys know that's a lot of flavor look at that right there so I can put them some this way just so you guys can see my the point is you don't want to go ahead and just you know like cook it all the way through right but this right here is cool so I'm gonna set this over here okay so look I'm gonna show you right now look at that fond right so we're gonna come with our onions just go ahead and add those in there right don't forget we got carrots and celery okay so look this is my favorite Park y'all look I'm gonna take these garlic cloves load my press up we're gonna have some minced garlic so let me go ahead and get my get in position right here look we only gonna cook this garlic right only for like one minute all right so look at that right there you want to talk about layers of flavor we building it folks okay so now we're gonna come with our flour it's been just a little bit over a minute we start adding it and don't forget folks everything in moderation right so we'll just keep moving this around like this you know I mean then we just add a little bit more right until we get it all Incorporated so now that we got this in here all of our flour has been like cooked in we made sure we cooked that off now we'll go ahead and introduce you know our broth right oh yeah this is going to be nice and thick for y'all the way you like it it's really into that flower that absorbs all of the flavor you know what I mean and look at how I'm doing it I'm just working it in you guys can see it come together on your on on your own look at that right there okay so it's coming up to a simmer now I'm gonna go ahead and add my apple cider trust me folks you know I always tell you guys trust the process right add that little bit of sugar keep just moving around and then we got our bay leaves and then underneath these bay leaves look we got them peppercorns okay so as this is coming up back to a boil then we're gonna reduce that to a simmer right we're gonna go ahead and add our chicken inside of here just like that remember I told you guys we wasn't cooking until it was done right we just wanted to put some of that flavor on there so I'm just going to set this in here just like you see once it comes back up to a boil we're going to set it to a simmer and now we're going to make them dumplings folks okay with the chicken down here on the bottom let me make sure you guys can see that you see that right there we just put it in right now you can see the bubbles right we set it for a simmer we cover and we're gonna cook it for about 25 minutes okay so look we got a cup and a third of all-purpose flour right we making them dumplings folks so I'm gonna go ahead and add my baking powder right then when it comes to the Salt we're going to add three quarter teaspoon right then we're gonna get that magical whisk and we're gonna mix and incorporate all this together you want to make sure it's everywhere folks so go ahead and just spend just a little bit of time making sure that you get it you know completely Incorporated you want that baking powder to be everywhere look because it's a process we're going to do okay so look first thing I did was melted my butter right so I'm gonna add my milk to this bowl bowl right here right now my butter all right now I'm just gonna go ahead and incorporate this together all right so now that we have that done I'm gonna bring my flour back right and what we're going to do is we're going to start introducing this over here to this right so I got myself a bigger whisk now I'll just start adding a little bit to it you know like this about about half is what you want to do right off the bat right so just just give it a couple of swirls we don't want to like overwork it that's good right there can you guys see that now I'm getting ready to come with the last you know the second half right so now I'm just going to go ahead and just work this you can see it's going to start turning the dough right in front of you right you just want to get into the whole thing is completely moist now I'm gonna go ahead open this up get all of this out and I'm gonna get in here and work this with it like a fork so look I want you guys to pay attention now I'm getting in here working with you know working it in my hand right so just keep moving it kneading it over again you don't want to overdo it you know what I mean I rub it over the side just to pick up some of that flour you know okay so look we got our dough right look I just want to pull off just a little piece of dough you know about like that just this right here is the dumpling folks and we're just gonna put it right there all right just grab a little bit don't need a whole lot because look we put that powder in there it's gonna rise up a little bit you know I mean so you just want to go ahead and add just about the same size as you see right here okay so look it's been about 22 minutes right I already turned off my fire you know I checked my chicken it was up to Temp real nice right so now you just want to take your chicken right I don't want to get none of my veggies with it you know I mean we just want to go ahead take it drain it best you can and then you just want to put it on a plate because we gotta let this cool because we're going to shred this down folks okay so now what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna take my spoon and I'm gonna go ahead and skim the fat off at the top right you want to get as much of it as you can you know it's possible you know what I mean this should only take you like a couple of minutes but your end result you're gonna like it it'll look more like what you guys get if you guys got a fat separator you can use that too I do have one but everybody don't have one of those okay so look I got the chicken broke down get yourself like two forks right and then you just want to shred it it's really up to you how big of pieces you want I don't want to shred them I don't like that fine it's not like chicken noodle soup or nothing like that you know I mean even though it's gonna have a similar taste to it and it'll be fire folks okay I can hear it okay we didn't come back up to a boil right I'm gonna go ahead and check this to a simmer right now right now we're going to take our chicken after we then shredded it and then we just go ahead and just start adding this you know to it right now it's up to you how much chicken you want to put in there but look at that right there folks we got a dish right here with all of these flare flavors that we didn't layered up you know this is gonna be good so look I'm gonna go ahead and give you a little bit of that money right now and that ain't even got no dumplings in it look at that oh wait okay so I can hear it look we didn't got it up to a nice little you know boil like a small boil you know I mean I'm gonna reduce it down to where to simmer right let me just go ahead and give this a little stir like this can y'all smell what I'm cooking and check this part out right here now we're gonna put them dumplings in the inside right so you just want to take them just add them in just like this you know what I mean get the ones you like because we made a lot of them you know so I'm picking like really like the bigger ones you know oh wait then we're gonna cook these for about 15 minutes okay so let's take a look at it after about 15 minutes look at that right here this is nice let me see if I can reduce this down even lower all right so look you want to get yourself a toothpick you want to stick it inside of your dumpling like that then you want to pull it up and then when you look at it you want to see if it's going to be clear you know clean that right there I don't see no bumps no nothing just tell me
