SOUTHERN CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS



Southern Chicken and Dumplings image

Old fashioned stick to your ribs chicken and dumplings recipe. The secret is using bone in chicken to make your stock. The bones help flavor the stock and give it richness.

Provided by staceywatts

Categories     Soups, Stews and Chili Recipes     Soup Recipes     Chicken Soup Recipes     Chicken and Dumpling Recipes

Time 1h45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons butter
1 onion, diced
3 large bone-in chicken breast halves with skin
1 (32 ounce) can chicken broth
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 ½ teaspoons salt
⅓ cup vegetable shortening, plus
2 tablespoons vegetable shortening
¾ cup milk
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
2 cups water
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Stir in the onion, and cook until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Place the chicken breasts into the pot, skin-side-down. Pour in the chicken broth, and enough water to just cover the breasts. Bring to a simmer over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the chicken begins to fall off the bone, about 1 hour. Once cooked, remove the chicken breasts from the pot. Remove and discard the skin and bone; allow the meat to cool, then tear apart into bite sized chunks.
  • While the chicken breast are simmering, prepare the dumpling dough by whisking the flour, baking powder, and 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt together in a mixing bowl. Work the vegetable shortening in with your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse cornmeal. Make a well in the middle and pour in the milk. Stir together until a stiff dough forms. Turn out onto a floured surface, and knead until smooth. Form the dough into 12 pieces, and set aside.
  • After you've shredded the chicken, stir the cream of chicken soup, 2 cups water, salt, pepper, and shredded chicken back into the pot. Return to a simmer over medium-high heat. Drop the dumplings into the simmering broth one at a time to keep them from sticking together. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until the dumplings have puffed and are no longer doughy in the center, 10 to 20 minutes.

Tips:

  • To make the dumplings, use a biscuit mix for a quick and easy option.
  • If you don't have a biscuit mix, you can make your own dumplings from scratch using flour, baking powder, salt, and milk.
  • Use a large crock pot to ensure that there is enough room for all of the ingredients.
  • Cook the chicken on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours.
  • Add the dumplings to the crock pot during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
  • Serve the chicken and dumplings with a side of mashed potatoes, rice, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

This crock pot southern chicken and dumplings recipe is a delicious and easy way to enjoy a classic comfort food. The chicken is cooked until tender and fall-off-the-bone, and the dumplings are light and fluffy. This recipe is perfect for a weeknight meal or a lazy Sunday dinner.
