CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS



Chicken and Dumplings image

My mom made a similar recipe for this comforting dish, and I still remember the wonderful aroma of chicken and dumplings cooking throughout the house. She didn't make it often, but when she did, what a treat. I especially loved the light, tender dumplings, which is still my most favorite part of this dish. (In a pinch, Bisquick dumplings are also very good). For those of you, like my good friend Cindy, who like a more Southern style of dumpling (heavier, chewier), the recipe is at the bottom. This recipe is from Steph's Country Kitchen Goodness. This is my favorite website for recipes.

Tips:

  • Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken is best when it is cooked through but still tender. Overcooked chicken will be tough and dry.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will add flavor and nutrition to your chicken and dumplings. Some good choices include carrots, celery, onions, and potatoes.
  • Make sure the dumplings are cooked through. Dumplings should be cooked until they are light and fluffy. Undercooked dumplings will be dense and doughy.
  • Serve chicken and dumplings immediately. This dish is best when served hot and fresh. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Chicken and dumplings is a classic comfort food that is enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a simple dish to make, but it can be time-consuming. With a little planning and effort, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that your family and friends will love.
