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.

GRANDMA'S CHICKEN AND SLIDERS



Grandma's Chicken and Sliders image

Grandma's Chicken and Sliders is a heartwarming rich and delicious recipe with homemade chicken broth, hearty dumplings and roasted chicken.

Provided by HWC Magazine

Categories     Mains

Time 3h

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 Savory Herb Roasted Whole Chicken recipe
1 tbsp olive oil
4 stalks celery (chopped)
2 onions (small chopped)
1 carrot (chopped)
2 cloves garlic (chopped)
2 cups Pan drippings/juice from roasted chicken (approximately )
6 cups chicken stock ((homemade, boxed, canned, gluten-free or bouillon, etc.))
4 bay leaves
1/2 tsp paprika
salt and pepper (to taste)
4 cups 4 cups all-purpose regular flour
1 egg (beaten)
1 to 1.5 cups homemade chicken broth from the drippings of your Savory Herb Roasted Whole Chicken (cooled)

Steps:

  • Follow our Recipe for Savory Herb Roasted Whole Chicken. https://www.hwcmagazine.com/recipe/savory-herbed-roasted-whole-chicken/
  • Remove your Savory Herb Roasted Whole Chicken from the pan and tent with Aluminum foil to keep warm. (Reserve all those delectable juices in the pan from the roasted chicken for the chicken broth gravy for the sliders)
  • In a large pot place olive oil, chopped celery, onions, carrots, garlic, salt and pepper and cook until slightly translucent and soft. (If you wanted to you could have slow cooked your vegetables with the roasted chicken in the oven and this is nice as well)
  • Add reserved juice from your Savory Herb Whole Roasted Chicken, additional chicken broth, bay leaves, paprika and salt and pepper to taste and bring to a boil. Then reduce and simmer for 1/2 hour.
  • Strain and remove all vegetables and bay leaves from broth and bring broth back up to a boil
  • Add sliders to broth (recipe below)
  • While your chicken soup broth is cooking, make your sliders.
  • Beat one egg in a large bowl. Add 4 cups all-purpose flour to bowl and gently stir in the egg.
  • Next, add approximately 1- 1.5 cups or more of cooled chicken broth to flour while stirring. Add enough broth so that the flour mixture just starts to form a nice dough ball. You dough should just pull together. If your dough is too wet, add a little more flour. On the other hand, if your dough is too dry, add a little cooled chicken soup broth.
  • Liberally flour a clean surface and lightly knead dough just a couple of times to form into a ball. Do NOT over knead your dough as this can make your noodles tough.
  • Flatten bread lightly with hands and add more flour on top of dough and on to your rolling pin. Roll to about 1.8th of inch flat or as flat as you can get it as they puff up quite a bit when cooked.
  • Cut dough into long slices and then cut each slice into about 1.5 inches long.
  • Coat the fresh homemade noodles with lots of flour and do not shake off excess. (First this prevents the noodles from sticking together. In addition, it helps thicken the broth to a nice and thick consistency like a gravy for your sliders. Yum!)
  • Grandma used to make a few little small dough balls. She said you were the lucky one if you got one in your bowl. (Totally optional, but fun for the kids)
  • Drop the homemade sliders (noodles) into the boiling chicken broth a handful at a time. Be sure to leave on the extra flour to help thicken the chicken broth.
  • The broth will start to thicken, and the noodles will float up to the top when they are cooked (about 15-20 minutes). It really depends on how thick your noodles are. Sliders do take longer to cook compared to regular noodles.
  • Boil slider noodles until they are soft and pillowy. They should have a slight tooth bite but be light and pillowy. The time needed to get to this stage depends on how large and thick you cut your noodles. Our noodles took between 15 minutes to get to this stage. The sliders will float up to the top of the pot when they are getting close to be done.
  • We found that you need this extra time up to almost 25-30 minutes to let all the flavors mingle, the broth to thicken and to get rid of the flour taste. Unlike a traditional noodle, sliders are heartier and stay aldente as long as you have enough broth in the pot.
  • Now, your broth should be thick almost like a soup gravy and your sliders are pillowy soft but still have a little tooth bite feel. Salt and pepper and season to taste. If your broth is too thin, mix a little flour and water slurry and add to the chicken broth and bring up to a boil.
  • Allow to continue to boil for several minutes to remove the flour taste and for the flavors to mingle. On the other hand, if your soup broth is too thick and your noodles do not have enough liquid to boil, you will need to add more chicken broth to your pot. Then, re-season as needed.
  • Serve sliders alongside of sliced Savory Herb Roasted Whole Chicken and mashed potatoes for the full comfort food experience.
  • We hope you enjoy Grandma's Chicken and Sliders the worlds perfect comfort food! (Tonight, a rare event. We actually have leftovers and looking forward to eating it tomorrow as it is even better the next day)

Yield Makes 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

Gnocchi:
1 pound ricotta
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour plus more
1 large egg, beaten to blend
1 1/4 cups finely grated Parmesan
3/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 tablespoon kosher salt
Chicken and gravy:
10 cups low-salt chicken broth
2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 celery stalks, cut crosswise into 1/4"-thick slices
1 carrot, peeled, thinly sliced
1 parsnip, peeled, cut into 1/4"-thick rounds
1 leek, halved lengthwise, cut crosswise into 1/4"-thick slices
1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
Shaved Parmesan
Special Equipment
Cheesecloth (optional)

Steps:

  • For gnocchi:
  • If using fresh ricotta that has excess liquid, you may need to drain it overnight. Line a fine-mesh strainer with cheesecloth and set it over a medium bowl. Add ricotta; cover with plastic wrap and let drain overnight in refrigerator. If using supermarket ricotta, proceed with recipe; no draining required.
  • Gently mix ricotta, 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons flour, egg, Parmesan, nutmeg, and salt in a large bowl just to blend (do not overwork). Form dough into a ball (it will be sticky); wrap in plastic and chill for at least 1 hour and up to 1 day.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside. Place dough on a lightly floured work surface. Divide dough into 4 equal portions and cover with a clean kitchen towel. Using your hands, roll 1 portion into a 1/2"-diameter rope; cut crosswise into 1/2"-thick pieces. Lightly dust gnocchi with flour and transfer to prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining portions of dough. Cover gnocchi with a kitchen towel and chill until ready to cook. DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 months ahead. Freeze on sheets, then store, frozen, in an airtight container.
  • For chicken and gravy:
  • Bring broth to a boil in a large saucepan. Add chicken; reduce heat to low, cover, and gently simmer until chicken is tender and cooked through, 20-30 minutes. Remove chicken; let cool slightly and shred into bite-size pieces. Bring broth to a boil and cook until reduced to 8 cups, about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, melt butter in a small heavy saucepan over low heat. Whisk in flour until smooth and cook, whisking constantly, until roux is pale beige in color, about 15 minutes (do not brown).
  • Scrape roux into simmering broth; whisk until thickened and broth coats the back of a spoon. Reduce heat to low and add vegetables. Cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Add shredded chicken and herbs. Season with salt and pepper. DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 days ahead. Chill, uncovered, until cold; cover and keep chilled. Rewarm before serving.
  • Cook gnocchi in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until gnocchi float to the surface, about 2 minutes (slightly longer if frozen). Using a slotted spoon, transfer gnocchi to bowls, dividing equally. Ladle chicken and vegetables with gravy over. Season with pepper and top with Parmesan.

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.

CHICKEN AND "SLIDES" (AKA CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS)



Chicken and

My grandma used to make this version of chicken "noodle" soup. Chicken is simmered in a rich, hearty broth along with carrots, onions and celery then simple dumplings (aka "slides") are added. They help thicken the soup as well as add flavor and texture.

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 to 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 small yellow onion, cut into 1/4-inch dice
5 celery ribs, cut into 1/2-inch dice
4 carrots, scrubbed and cut into 1/2-inch dice
3 cloves garlic, grated or finely minced
1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary leaves
1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme leaves
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch cubes
8 cups low-sodium chicken stock
2 bay leaves
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Pinch freshly grated nutmeg
1 large egg
Flat-leaf parsley, torn for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat a 6-quart Dutch oven or stock pot over medium heat. Drizzle in the olive oil (enough to coat the bottom) and add the onion, celery, carrots, garlic, rosemary and thyme. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the veggies begin to soften, 5 to 6 minutes. Liberally season with salt and pepper. Add the chicken, stock and bay leaves. Stir, bring to a simmer then cover and cook over low heat for 35 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and nutmeg. In another small bowl, whisk together the egg and 1/4 cup water, then add to the flour mixture and whisk together until smooth.
  • Make sure the soup is at a gentle simmer, then using a 1/2 teaspoon measure, scoop some of the batter, then slide it off with your finger into the soup. Make 5 or 6 dumplings at a time, let cook for 20 seconds, then stir and add another batch. You should have enough batter for 25 to 30 slides. Cook for 5 minutes longer, gently stirring, then ladle into bowls and top with torn parsley and pepper.

Provided by Chris Salicrup

Categories     Dinner

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 lb bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
5 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
2 ½ teaspoons black pepper, divided
1 tablespoon McCormick® Poultry Seasoning
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
8 cups water
1 small yellow onion, quartered
1 medium carrot, roughly chopped, plus 2, sliced, divided
1 stalk celery, roughly chopped, plus 2, sliced, divided
1 bunch fresh parsley, stems and leaves separated, divided
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons McCormick® Garlic Powder
2 cups all-purpose flour, divided
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
3 tablespoons schmaltz, reserved from chicken thighs
¾ cup buttermilk

Steps:

  • Season the chicken thighs all over with 2 teaspoons of salt, 1 teaspoon of pepper, and the poultry seasoning.
  • In a large Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Place seasoned chicken, skin-side down, in the hot oil and begin to render the chicken fat, about 5 minutes. Once the skin in crispy, flip the chicken and continue cooking for 3 minutes more. Remove the chicken from pot and set aside. Pour the chicken fat into a small bowl and reserve.
  • Add the water, onion, the chopped carrot, chopped celery, and parsley stems to the pot. Return the chicken thighs to the pot and bring to a boil over medium high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
  • Remove the chicken from the pot and discard the skin and bones. Shred the meat and set aside. Strain the stock through a fine-mesh sieve and discard the vegetables.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of the reserved chicken fat to the pot over medium heat, along with the sliced carrots, sliced celery, garlic, and 2 tablespoons of flour. Stir to combine.
  • Slowly add the reserved chicken stock, 2 teaspoons of salt, 1 teaspoon of pepper, and the garlic powder. Add the shredded chicken back to the pot and bring to a simmer over low heat and continue cooking for 20 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
  • Meanwhile, make the dumplings: In a medium bowl, combine the remaining cups of flour, the baking powder, remaining teaspoon of salt, remaining ½ teaspoon of pepper, and the remaining 3 tablespoons of reserved chicken fat. Mix with a fork to combine. Add the buttermilk and mix to incorporate, then knead for 2 minutes, until the dough comes together.
  • Pull off about 1 tablespoon of dough at a time and add to the soup. Continue cooking until the dumplings are cooked through, about 10 minutes.
  • Ladle into bowls and garnish with the parsley leaves.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will add flavor and nutrients to your chicken and dumplings. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, and potatoes.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken is best when it is cooked through, but not too dry. Overcooked chicken will be tough and stringy.
  • Make sure the dumplings are cooked through. Dumplings are done when they are light and fluffy. If they are still doughy in the center, they need to be cooked longer.
  • Serve chicken and dumplings hot. This dish is best enjoyed when it is fresh out of the pot. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Add your own personal touch. There are many ways to customize this recipe to your own liking. For example, you can add different vegetables, herbs, or spices. You can also use different types of chicken, such as boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs.

Conclusion:

Chicken and dumplings is a classic comfort food that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own liking. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your chicken and dumplings turn out perfect every time.
