Prepare the dumplings: Cook bacon in a skillet over low heat until tender, not crisp. Add onions, salt, and pepper. Cook over low heat until onions are soft, about 7 to 10 minutes. Reserve. Place chicken in a food processor fitted with the metal blade, along with the allspice, potato and egg.

Delicious flavor! Be sure and use larger skins then 3" so you can add more of the aspic. Most of the dumplings didn't have much soup due to either leakage or absorption by the wrappers. Also, the wrappers were too wonton like so next time I will make my own dough. I must make this again!
