Time 1h5m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 whole chicken
1 (8 ounce) package frozen dumplings (not sure how many oz it is but it's the regular package)
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
salt and pepper (to taste)
1 (14 ounce) can chicken broth (may or may not need)

Steps:

  • Cook whole chicken in large pot full of water until done. Remove chicken from pot and debone. Save broth from chicken and add soup. Return broth and soup to a boil, then add frozen dumplings. We use Mary B's open Kettle dumplings. They are often found in the frozen food section near the other frozen breads. We use two packages of dumplings and often have to add more broth because of it. Just watch and add as desired for your preference of thickness. Boil as directed on package (I think it's 45 minutes) then add chicken back. Cook just long enough to warm chicken back up. Be careful because once chicken is added dumplings will easily stick.

Time 1h25m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (3 lb) whole chickens
1 onion, sliced
5 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons pepper
1/4 cup milk
3 cups flour
3/4 cup water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • Place all listed ingredients into stock pot and add just enough water to cover chicken.
  • Simmer for approximately 40 minutes or until chicken parts easily from bone.
  • Reduce heat to low.
  • Remove chicken from pot and allow to cool.
  • Separate meat from bones, divide into bite-sized pieces, and set aside.
  • Discard bones.
  • In a medium bowl, combine flour, water, salt and pepper for dumplings and mix well.
  • Dough should be well-defined, barely sticky, and easy to handle by hand: If it is too sticky, add more flour, or if it is crumbling, add more water.
  • Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll with a rolling pin to 1/8" thickness.
  • Return chicken stock to a simmer and add chicken.
  • With a sharp knife, cut dumpling dough into stips approximately 1" x 3".
  • Add strips to simmering stock, stirring as you add them to keep them from sticking to each other or to the pot.
  • Continue to re-roll the dough as needed, cutting dumpling strips and adding them to the stock until all dough is used.
  • When stock turns an opaque yellowish-white color and thickens, add milk and stir.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Excess may be frozen in a tupperware container or a doubled ziplock-type container for up to a month.
  • Feel free to add up to 2 cups of water for more stock or to even up to double the amount of dumplings to accomodate your needs or tastes.

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into 1 inch pieces
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 3/4 cups water
1 cup milk
1 (7/8 ounce) envelope chicken gravy mix
3/4 teaspoon marjoram or 3/4 teaspoon rosemary

2 cups Bisquick

  • Stir in the water, milk, gravy mix (dry), marjoram, salt, and frozen vegetables.
  • Heat chicken mixture over high heat until boiling.
  • Once boiling, reduce heat until mixture boils gently.
  • Meanwhile prepare dumplings.
  • Mix according to Bisquick directions.
  • Drop dumplings by the spoonful into the chicken mixture.
  • Cook uncovered 10 minutes.
  • Cook and cover 10 minutes longer.
  • (It seems unnatural to not stir the mixture, but I have found that if you stir the mixture the dumplings will be doughy).

Tips:

  • Ensure the dough is well-chilled before rolling and cutting the dumplings. This will prevent the dough from becoming sticky and tearing.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the dumplings. This will ensure clean cuts and prevent the dough from becoming ragged.
  • Do not overcrowd the dumplings in the pot when cooking. This will prevent them from sticking together and ensure they cook evenly.
  • Stir the dumplings gently while cooking to prevent them from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  • Cook the dumplings until they are cooked through. This can be tested by inserting a toothpick into the center of a dumpling. If the toothpick comes out clean, the dumpling is cooked.

Conclusion:

Chicken and dumplings is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple tips, you can make delicious chicken and dumplings that will warm your heart and fill your belly. So next time you're looking for a satisfying and easy-to-make meal, give chicken and dumplings a try. You won't be disappointed!
