All You Need: For the Chicken part: Pot (or Instant Pot) Chicken (whole or boneless, skinless chicken breasts) Chicken broth Water Salt (to season to taste and to mix drop dough) Pepper For the dumplings: 2 cups All purpose flour  4 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon salt  1 cup milk a couple spoons and a mixing bowl What You Do: To cook your chicken, either place in Instant Pot or pot and cook thoroughly. This can take anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour, depending on method. Here's a quick run-down of my favorite methods: Using boneless, skinless chicken breasts (thawed):      Cut into 1 inch cubes.

I'm learning. I'm trying new things even when I fail, and I'm making notes (extensive notes) so that I can track my successes and failures. I teased a sugar-free chocolate cake a while back and never came back around to it....it was a mess, and I ate one piece. My husband didn't like it, and I wouldn't even dare give it to my toddler.  I have a love/hate relationship with Devil's Food cakes, anyway**. This iteration is a modified version of my cupcake recipe. It didn't turn out well, so I made some notes on ways to alter the prep (not the ingredients) and see if that yields better results.
