Chicken and Dumplings

chicken:
6 chicken thighs, bone in
1 1/2 qt water
1 tsp salt

dumplings:
2 eggs
1 tsp salt
1/2 stick butter
1 1/2 c flour

Put salt, chicken, and water in pot. Slow boil chicken until tender, 30-45 minutes. While boiling, mix well eggs, salt and butter. Mix in flour slowly until ready to roll, doughy consistency. Sprinkle flour on rolling surface. Take 2 tbsp of dough, roll into a ball covered with flour. Flatten thin with rolling pin, cut into 2 inch squares. Repeat until dough used. Remove chicken from pot, de-bone and set aside. Bring broth to a rolling boil. Drop in dumplings one at a time, avoiding dumpling collisions. Turn heat down to low, let cook for 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Add chicken back to pot, turn off heat, let stand for 3 hours.
