Add a whole chicken to the pressure cooker.

Pour in water to cover the chicken.

Seal the pressure cooker and cook for about 1.5 hours.

In a mixing bowl, add all-purpose flour, shortening or butter, baking powder, and salt.

Mix the dry ingredients together using a pastry blender or fingers.

Gradually add milk to the mixture, mixing until combined.

Knead the dough until smooth, adding more flour as needed.

Roll out the dough to about 1/8 inch thick.

Cut the rolled dough into rectangles using a pastry cutter.

Flour a sheet pan and place the dumplings on it.

Transfer the broth from the pressure cooker to a separate pan using a colander.

Bring the broth to a boil.

Add the dumplings to the boiling broth and cook for about 20 minutes.

Add the shredded chicken back into the pot after the dumplings have cooked.

Season the broth to taste with salt.

If the broth is too loose, create a slurry with equal parts cornstarch and water, add it to the broth, and boil to thicken.
