THE BEST CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS
This is pure comfort food at its finest. Tender chunks of chicken and vegetables come together in a creamy, richly-flavored sauce with pillowy dumplings baked right on top. It's hearty but not too heavy and comes together from scratch in about an hour.

Steps:
- For the chicken: Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot with a lid over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the carrots, celery, onion, 1/2 teaspoon salt and about 10 grinds black pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables just begin to soften but don't take on any color, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Stir in the garlic and thyme and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the wine and simmer until completely evaporated, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the butter until completely melted. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir until it is completely incorporated and a sandy paste forms. Pour in the milk and stir until the flour has been smoothly incorporated into the liquid.
- Add the chicken and the chicken stock to the pot and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil then lower the heat to medium-low and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir in the parsley and peas and remove from the heat.
- For the dumplings: Whisk together the flour, baking powder, garlic salt, 1/2 teaspoon salt and about 10 grinds black pepper in a medium bowl. Stir in the melted butter until just combined, then add the milk and stir until a ball of dough forms.
- Use a small ice cream scoop or measuring cup to scoop 10 balls of dough into the pot (about 2 tablespoons each). Cover the pot and simmer over medium-low until the dumplings have puffed up and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 10 to 15 minutes. Divide among bowls and sprinkle with more parsley.

Steps:
- Melt butter in a stock pot over medium-high heat. Add celery, carrot, onion, garlic, bay leaves, thyme, salt, pepper, and poultry seasoning; cook and stir until flavors combine, about 5 minutes. Push vegetable mixture to the sides and add chicken; cook until browned, 3 to 5 minutes per side.
- Pour enough water over the chicken to cover by 3 inches; bring to a boil. Stir, scraping the browned bits off of the bottom of the pot. Reduce heat; simmer until chicken is tender, about 1 hour. Transfer chicken and carrots to a serving plate with a large slotted spoon; let cool.

- Place 2 cups flour in a large bowl; cut in shortening with 2 knives until mixture forms pea-sized bits. Mix in chilled chicken broth until dough is combined.
- Turn dough out onto a floured work surface. Knead 5 to 6 times; pat down to 1-inch thickness. Sprinkle lightly with flour; roll out to about 1/8-inch thickness. Cut dough into squares with a sharp knife.
- Drop squares, in batches, into simmering cooking liquid, moving squares to the side with each addition. Partially cover pot; simmer until dumplings are firm, about 12 minutes. Separate any dumplings that stick together. Remove from heat; keep covered.
- Bone chicken; cut into bite-sized pieces and return to the pot. Chop carrot; return to the pot. Cool chicken and dumplings, about 30 minutes, before serving.

THE BEST CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS
The best things take a little work, and these are SO worth the extra effort. This is one of those recipes that you'll be remembered for long after you're dead!

Steps:
- Start with the soup. Chop all the veggies.
- In the biggest pot you have, saute the veggies in olive oil until the onions are soft.
- Add the chicken broth, the seasoning salt (I like Morton's Nature's Seasoning best) and the chicken breasts.
- Cook for about 30 minutes, until the chicken is done.
- Take the chicken out, shred it, and return it to the soup.
- Now for the good part: the dumplings. Mix all the dry ingredients.
- Add the milk, and cut it into the dough until it forms a kind of dry, crumbly texture.
- Now knead it until it forms a nice dough-y texture.
- Put some flour down on the counter, and roll the dough until it is really, really thin. This'll take some work. It's fun though. If you're making a lot, or if you're short for room, or if you did as I advised and doubled the dumplings, you'll need to do this in a few batches.
- With a pizza cutter, cut the dough into little rectangular dumplings about the size of those gummy erasers we used in elementary school. If they don't come out even, you'll live.
- Drop the dumplings one by one into the soup. Don't stir it for a few minutes.
- The dumplings will float to the top in a few minutes. If they don't, you probably did something wrong.
- Simmer at least another 45 minutes, or as long as you like.
- Put on your fat pants and go to town.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, sift flour, baking soda and salt. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in water until mixture forms a ball. Divide dough in half and shape into balls. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight.

- On a lightly floured surface, roll one ball of dough to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut into 2 inch squares. Drop into simmering broth, and let cook for about 2 minutes. Stir gently to prevent sticking; add more water if needed. Season broth while dumplings are cooking with salt, pepper and poultry seasoning. Simmer for about 15 minutes, or until dumplings are cooked through.

Tips:
- Choose the right chicken. For the best flavor and texture, use bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or breasts. The bones and skin will add flavor to the broth, and the meat will stay moist and juicy during cooking.
- Use a variety of vegetables. This recipe calls for carrots, celery, and onion, but you can also add other vegetables that you like, such as potatoes, green beans, or corn.
- Make sure the dumplings are cooked through. The dumplings should be cooked through before serving. To test if they are done, insert a toothpick into the center of a dumpling. If the toothpick comes out clean, the dumplings are done.
- Serve the chicken and dumplings immediately. Chicken and dumplings are best served hot, so make sure to serve them immediately after they are cooked.
Conclusion:
Chicken and dumplings is a classic comfort food dish that is easy to make and always a hit with the family. This recipe for bacon, chicken, and dumplings is a delicious and hearty version of the classic dish. The bacon adds a smoky flavor to the broth, and the dumplings are light and fluffy.
