Tomato Dumplings - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 -4 lbs cooked deboned chicken
12 ounces frozen kettle dumplings
2 (8 ounce) cans whole stewed tomatoes, in juice
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon butter
1 (16 ounce) box chicken broth (Swansons reccommended)
2 cups water
1 dash poultry seasoning
salt
cracked black pepper (4 grinds)
1/2 cup whole milk
1 (12 ounce) can V8 vegetable juice

Preparation

Boil chicken; reserving some of the broth for extra flavor, drain and let chicken cool then debone and reserve the now shredded chicken for the dumplings.
Next, put the chicken back in pot with the entire box of chicken broth. Let the broth and chicken come back up to a medium boil add seasoning and sugar.
Follow the instructions on the package of frozen dumplings to prepare. I recommend the brand Kettle Dumplings, but you could use homemade dumplings.
When the dumplings have cooked through, add the V-8 and the tomatoes.
Add the salt & pepper and milk; stir constantly. Turn down to a simmer.
Be careful that the pot doesn't scorch because you have to start over if your dumplings scorch.
