Classic Chicken and Dumplings

Here I present my recipe for the all-American classic; Chicken and Dumplings, with the FLUFFIEST dumplings you’ll ever taste 🙂

Aw Pinterest, how you inspire me!

I kept seeing a recipe for a copycat rendition of Cracker Barrel Chicken and Dumplings…

This one.

I almost followed it to the letter but I used shredded turkey I had in the freezer and I skipped the celery.

The recipe was good but when I think dumplings, I think DUMPLINGS!

Like Dumplings:

I must admit though I’ve never had traditional, American dumpling’s from Cracker Barrel.

So I thank the creator and inspiration for this recipe!

Description

A simple recipe for the all-American classic; Chicken and Dumplings, with the FLUFFIEST dumplings you’ll ever taste 🙂


Ingredients

Scale

6 Cups chicken broth

1 Medium onion peeled and cut in half

2–3 Cups Cooked, shredded chicken

3 Cups All purpose flour

1 1/2 tbsp baking powder

1 tsp salt

1/4 tsp pepper

3/4 Cup milk (I used 2%)

1 Large egg


Instructions

Use a soup pot with a tight-fitting lid and bring the stock to a simmer and add the onion.

Add in the shredded chicken.

Let the pot simmer for 20 minutes then prepare the dumplings;

Mix the flour, baking powder, salt and pepper.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and eggs.

Add the milk mixture to the flour mixture and combine to form the dough.

Use a spoon to cut the dough into tablespoon pieces and roll into ball.

Bring your soup to a boil and add in the dumplings.

Drop the temperature on the pot to a medium-low then put the lid on.

You can’t peak!

Set the timer for 20 minutes.

Remove the lid and give your dumplings a quick mix.

Let the pot simmer, uncovered for 10 minutes to thicken the gravy.

Serve immediately!

Notes

  1. You want the dough on the dry side; wet dumplings won’t work.
  2. Add more milk, tablespoon, by tablespoon if the dough is too dry.
