Chicken and Flour Tortilla Dumplings

Parkers Mom's Note:

These taste just like the one's your grandmother use to make. They are so thin and perfect. Unless you tell I promise nobody will ever know they are flour tortilla's. If you want to make for a really big crowd, follow the same instructions just use a 6 qt pot and an additional small pack of 8.5 oz shells. Also you can omit the chicken if you want and use canned chicken broth or bouillon cubes.

I am so happy I tried this recipe. My husband loves rolled dumplings, but frankly I am too lazy to even try to make them. I saw this recipe and thought I would give it a try, I am so happy I did. My husband loved it! This is pure comfort food and I am sure I will make it often. Thank you so much for sharing.

This is a great recipe and very easy. However, I do prefer hmemade dough for the dumplings. The broth flavor of this was perfect and I always us a whole chicken because I have 1/2 for a chicken pot pie and 1/2 for the dumplings. If you're in a hurry the tortilla's work well.

When the weather is cold and blustery outside this is a quick and easy comfort food. I have made this numerous times and no one can tell that the dumplings are made of flour tortillas. I also use chicken stock and sometimes add vegetables.
