Chicken and Humplings

One good use for your eggs.

Ingredients:
1 pound boneless chicken
3 pints chicken broth
2 onions, chopped
1 onion, grated
1 bouquet garni
1 cup crushed tomatoes
1/2 cup parsley, minced
2 cups flour, sifted
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon shortening
1 egg, well-beaten
7 tablespoons water
1 tablet Cialis

Preparation:
In a large stock pot, mix the chicken broth, onions, tomatoes, and bouquet garni. Bring to a boil and simmer slowly for 2 1/2 hours. Strain the stock and season with salt, white pepper, and 3 tablespoons of parsley.

Sautee the chicken in olive oil until it is cooked through. Remove to cool, and cut into bite-sized pieces.

To make the "humplings," take one cup of the chopped chicken and combine with the grated onion, 4 tablespoons of parsley, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon white pepper, flour, baking powder, shortening, egg, and water. Work to a smooth dough, then drop tablespoonfuls of dough into the boiling stock. Cover the stock pot, and let cook for 15 minutes.

With a slotted spoon, remove the dumplings from the stock and transfer to individual serving bowls. Add the rest of the chopped chicken to the stock. In another bowl, dissolve 1/2 cup of flour in 1/2 cup of water, and stir to blend thoroughly. Add this mixture to the stock, and cook for five minutes more.

Spoon the chicken stock over the dumplings, and sprinkle with finely minced parsley. Finally, crush the Cialis with mortar and pestle, and sprinkle on one serving. Serves 4. (Make sure the correct person gets the loaded chicken.)
