Old Fashion Chicken and Dumplings

I am posting this one for Nathanael. But I know that everyone loves a good pot of chicken and dumplings in the winter. This recipe is easy and good enough to serve to guests. I have not figured out the points on this, but it isn't too high. 3 lbs chicken (I like legs and thighs) skin removed seasoning salt cooking spray 6 cups chicken broth Cut chicken into parts if not already done. Brown it on both sides in a nonstick pan sprayed with cooking spray. Simmer the broth in a dutch oven (4 or 5 quart pot with lid). Add the chicken to the simmering broth. Cook at a low simmer for 20 minutes or until completely done. Check the broth to make sure it has enough salt and pepper. Mix: 1 1/2 cups flour 1/2 cup corn meal 1 Tablespoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon dry dill weed 7 oz buttermilk 1 egg After you have mixed the batter, let it rest for 5 minutes. Drop heaping tablespoons of batter into simmering broth. Cover the pot and simmer on lowest setting for 20 minutes.
