   How to make chicken dumplings? Yes, very simple and quite fast. First, prepare all the necessary ingredients for cooking. If you don't have fresh spinach, use frozen spinach, but defrost it completely and squeeze out any excess moisture. Wash raw chicken eggs well and dry with napkins.

2. STEP 2

   

   Rinse and pat dry the chicken breast. Cut it into pieces and grind in a meat grinder with a fine grid or using a blender. Transfer the minced breast meat to a bowl.

3. STEP 3

   

   Break an egg into a bowl with minced meat.

4. STEP 4

   

   Salt everything. It is best to salt with coarse salt, since fine salt can oversalt it.

5. STEP 5

   

   Add ground black pepper. If desired, it can be replaced with white or green varieties.

6. STEP 6

   

   Add chopped spinach to the bowl. If you use fresh spinach, sort and remove the stems. After this, lower it into boiling water for 30-60 seconds, and then immediately transfer it to ice water and leave until it cools. Remove, squeeze and chop finely.

7. STEP 7

   

   Add flour to the bowl with the minced meat and spinach. It must first be sifted from small debris, if any, and lumps of flour.

8. STEP 8

   

   Pour paprika into a bowl and mix everything thoroughly until smooth. Let stand for 10 minutes.

   You can also make dumplings by hand. But if you take them with a tablespoon dipped in water, the dumplings turn out very neat and almost identical. Wet a tablespoon with water and scrape the minced meat against the side of the dish. Then transfer to a damp palm and, using a spoon, form a dumpling.

10. STEP 10

    

    Place the dumplings on a plate moistened with water.

11. STEP 11

    

    Pour one and a half liters of water into a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat, add salt. Reduce the heat to low and lower the dumplings, being careful not to let them stick to the bottom. And don't put everything in at once, they may stick together and lose their shape. Cook over low heat until they float to the surface. This will take approximately 5-7 minutes. Focus on your stove. Then remove the dumplings with a slotted spoon and serve immediately with any side dish or vegetables and herbs.

The recipe for chicken dumplings interested me because of its simplicity and speed of preparation. I had turkey fillet, I decided to cook it based on this recipe. I had 1 kg of meat, according to the calculator for 10 servings. Eggs used category C1. I used parsley instead of spinach. The greens were passed through a meat grinder along with the meat. I made the minced meat in the morning and made the dumplings in the evening. I formed them with a tablespoon, as the author advises. I cooked the dumplings for about 6 minutes. The dumplings turned out dense and did not fall apart during cooking. They are aromatic and very tasty. An excellent option for a hearty, but at the same time light dinner. Thank you very much for the recipe!
