Ah, the comforting feeling of a big pot of chicken and dumplings on the stove! Enjoy an Asian twist with a lighter sweet and
sour style broth and dim sum dumplings. Easy to make and flavorful!-

store meat department)

1. In a large soup pot, combine
all ingredients in "add first" category. 2. Add enough water to cover chicken and heat on high burner setting until boiling;
reduce heat, cover and simmer for one hour (leaving it on longer, up to an additional hour, is fine.). 3. Remove chicken
pieces from pot and add "add last" ingredients. 4. Strip chicken off the bones; discard skin and bones and return chicken
meat to soup pot. 5. Cook uncovered over medium heat 15 minutes and serve hot.
