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.

CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS



Chicken and Dumplings image

Heartier than chicken soup, this classic comfort dish is decidedly more stewlike, thanks to a golden-brown roux, a densely flavored chicken broth, and, of course, the dumplings. Think of them as a biscuit meeting a matzo ball: fluffy little clouds made from a quick mixture of flour, baking powder, buttermilk, butter and an egg for springiness. They're cooked right on top of the chicken stew, partly poaching and partly steaming.

Categories     dinner, poultry, soups and stews, main course

Time 2h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large yellow onion, diced
4 stalks celery, chopped
6 medium carrots (about 1 1/2 pounds), peeled and sliced 1/4-inch thick
4 sprigs thyme
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, plus more as needed
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 large leeks, white and light green parts thinly sliced
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
3/4 cup buttermilk
1 large egg
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup parsley, tender leaves and stems, finely chopped (optional)
1/4 cup chives, finely chopped (optional)

Steps:

  • Season chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Working in batches if needed, sear chicken, skin-side down, until deeply golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Flip chicken and continue to cook until it is browned on the other side, another 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer chicken to a large plate, and pour off all fat into a measuring cup. (You should have about 5 tablespoons, depending on the fattiness of the chicken.)
  • Leaving all the browned bits in the pot, return 2 tablespoons of fat to the pot. Add onions, celery and half the carrots. Season with salt and pepper and cook on medium heat, stirring to scrape up all the bits on the bottom of the pot. Cook until vegetables start to soften, about 4 minutes or so. Return chicken to the pot along with thyme and 8 cups of water. Simmer, uncovered, until chicken is completely tender and liquid has reduced by about 1/4, about 30 to 40 minutes.
  • Transfer chicken to a plate or cutting board to cool. Strain the stock (you should have about 5 cups; if you have less, you can add water to make up the difference) and wipe out the pot.
  • Heat remaining 3 tablespoons chicken fat along with 1 tablespoon butter (if you don't have enough chicken fat, use enough butter to equal 4 tablespoons of fat) over medium heat. Sprinkle in flour and stir constantly until it's all a pale golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Slowly whisk in reserved chicken stock until no lumps remain (it will thicken considerably at first) and bring to a boil. Add leeks and remaining carrots, season with salt and pepper and lower the heat to simmer.
  • Remove and discard the skin and bones from the chicken. Shred the meat and add to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid is nicely thickened and carrots and leeks are tender, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Make the dumplings: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt and pepper. In a small bowl, whisk together buttermilk and egg and add to dry ingredients, followed by melted butter. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, stir just to combine. (Do not overmix.)
  • Using a spoon, drop generous quarter-size dollops of the dumpling dough into the pot (they should just sit right on top; they will not sink), spacing them apart as much as possible (it's O.K. if they touch). Cover the pot and reduce heat to low. Cook, undisturbed, until the dumplings are puffed and totally cooked through, 18 to 22 minutes. (Test a dumpling by cutting it in half; it should look slightly biscuity, but with no raw bits of dough. If it needs more time, continue to cook.)
  • Remove lid and divide among bowls; sprinkle with parsley and chives, if using.

THE BEST CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS



The Best Chicken and Dumplings image

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! Oh, and go ahead and double the dumplings, because I promise you'll want them. My mom was famous for these, and I can only imagine she'd want me to share this recipe with everyone I can.

Provided by SilverOpera

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 2h45m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 large onion, chopped
3/4 cup carrot, chopped
3 stalks celery, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 chicken breasts
64 ounces chicken stock
2 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon powdered thyme
1/4 cup shortening
1/2-2/3 cup milk
1 teaspoon seasoning salt

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.

Tips:

  • Use a heavy pot or Dutch oven to cook the chicken and dumplings. This will help to prevent the dumplings from sticking to the bottom of the pot and burning.
  • Bring the broth to a boil before adding the dumplings. This will help to ensure that the dumplings cook evenly.
  • Drop the dumplings into the boiling broth one at a time. This will help to prevent them from sticking together.
  • Cook the dumplings for about 10 minutes, or until they are cooked through. You can tell that the dumplings are cooked through when they float to the top of the broth.
  • Serve the chicken and dumplings immediately. They are best enjoyed hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Chicken and dumplings is a classic comfort food dish that is enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a simple dish to make, and it can be tailored to your own personal taste. Whether you like your chicken and dumplings thick or thin, with or without vegetables, there is a recipe out there that is perfect for you. So next time you are looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give chicken and dumplings a try.
