Trying to get my wifes amish recipe will be like asking a chicken for a $20
Here is a link to a recipe that is almost the same as the one my wifes grandmother gave her when we were married 54 years ago, our two sons would sooner have this then a good steak...
and if there is ever any left over which is very rare. we fry it up the next morning with some scrambled eggs... makes a great breakfast too...

Do you need me to send you $20?
Thanks for the link Ghost...
After I phoned a friend I got some ideas (I always take ideas from a few recipes and call them my own 8))
I simmered he following ingredients until the chicken was done. I pulled the chicken from the stock and let cool then shred the meat from the bone.
4 Chicken Thighs
2 Chicken Legs
2 Cans Chicken Broth
2 cans of water
I then added 2 cans cream of chicken to the stock and salt and pepper to taste. I like my stock a little thicker (almost like gravy) so I mixed together 2 tablespoons cornstarch and 1/4 cup of water then whisk this mixture into the stock.
For the dumplings I used 1 package of bisquick. Once the stock was to the consistency that I like I spooned in the dumpling mixture and added the shredded chicken back in. Once the dumplings were ready (not doughy) I plated and sided with smashed tators.... This was awesome! I never made chicken and dumplings before because I always get scared off by making dough or baking, but the bisquick really made it dummy proof. I think this made it on the wife's top 10 list.... hahha
