INGREDIENTS | SERVES 8

2 cups flour

2 eggs

1 tablespoon water

½ teaspoon salt

1¼ cups cooked chicken, chopped

2 tablespoons minced onion

1 garlic clove, minced

1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley

1 tablespoon margarine or chicken fat

¼ teaspoon seasoned salt

10 cups chicken broth

  • Place flour, eggs, water, and salt in a mixer bowl. Mix with a dough hook 5 minutes. Place dough on a floured surface; roll to coat. Wrap in plastic and let rest 20–30 minutes.

  • In a food processor, combine chicken, onion, garlic, parsley, chicken fat, and seasoned salt; pulse until very finely ground. Unwrap dough and cut in half. Roll each half into a thin rectangle on a floured surface. Cut dough into 2 diamonds. Place a small amount of chicken filling on lower half of diamond; fold top over filling to make a triangle. Press dough together to seal.

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. When all kreplach are formed, drop into boiling water; simmer 20 minutes.
