• 1 Esslöffel Margarine (1 tablespoon margarine)
• 1 Ei (1 egg)
• 1,5 Tassen (Tee) Wasser (1.5 cups (tea) water)
• 600 g Weizenmehl (600 g wheat flour)
• 1 große gekochte und zerkleinerte Hähnchenbrust (1 large cooked and shredded chicken breast)
• Gewürze nach Geschmack (spices to taste) (Knoblauch (garlic), Zwiebel (onion), Hühnerbrühe (chicken broth), Oregano, schwarzer Pfeffer (black pepper), Paprika, Petersilie (parsley), Olivenöl (olive oil))

Directions

1. In einer Schüssel die Hefe im Zucker auflösen, bis eine pastöse Flüssigkeit entsteht. (In a bowl, dissolve the yeast in sugar until a paste forms.)
2. Margarine, Ei und Wasser hinzufügen und gut vermischen. (Add margarine, egg, and water, and mix well.)
3. Nach und nach das mit Salz vermischte Weizenmehl hinzufügen, bis der Teig glatt ist. (Gradually add the wheat flour mixed with salt until the dough is smooth.)
4. Gut kneten, bis der Teig nicht mehr an den Händen klebt; gegebenenfalls mehr Mehl hinzufügen. (Knead well until the dough no longer sticks to your hands; add more flour if needed.)
5. Den Teig in 12 Portionen teilen, zu Kugeln formen und ruhen lassen, bis sie sich verdoppeln. (Divide the dough into 12 portions, shape them into balls, and let them rest until they double in size.)
6. In einer Pfanne einen Schuss Olivenöl erhitzen und Knoblauch sowie Zwiebel anbraten. (Heat a splash of olive oil in a pan and sauté garlic and onion.)
7. Zerkleinertes Hähnchen und Gewürze hinzufügen und gut umrühren, bis alles gut gewürzt ist. (Add the shredded chicken and spices, stirring well until everything is well seasoned.)
8. Mit Petersilie abschließen und abkühlen lassen. (Finish with parsley and let cool.)
9. Jede Teigkugel mit einem Nudelholz ausrollen, mit der Hähnchenfüllung belegen und schließen, um eine Knödelform zu bilden. (Roll out each dough ball with a rolling pin, fill with the chicken mixture, and seal to form a dumpling shape.)
10. In heißem Öl frittieren, bis sie goldbraun sind, und sofort servieren. (Fry in hot oil until golden brown and serve immediately.)
