MOM'S CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS



Mom's Chicken and Dumplings image

On Sundays, Mom set our big round oak table with a snowy white cloth and her fine dishes and tableware. On the old wood stove, pushed way back to simmer slowly, was a big pot of chicken and dumplings from scratch in a thick gravy. I can still taste it. -Willa Govoro, St. Clair, Missouri

MRS. CRIBBS'S CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS



Mrs. Cribbs's Chicken and Dumplings image

This is a "simple ingredients make the best meals" dish. She uses dark meat because of their moistness and extra flavor, and the cooking methods are what makes all of them shine. The dumplings - Amish style or flat, not the rising kind - have to freeze for at least 4 hours so plan ahead. Its a great dish to get ready the day before then just put together the final cooking and serve in minutes. Its a simple dish, i only put the 45 min for prep because of the dumplings (does not include freezing time).

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 lbs chicken legs
5 carrots (2 cut into large chunks, 3 thinly sliced on the diagonal)
2 celery ribs (1 cut into large chunks, 1 thinly sliced on the diagonal)
2 medium onions, coarsely chopped
6 cups water
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
salt & freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, combine the chicken legs with the large chunks of carrot and celery, half of the chopped onions and the water. Simmer over moderate heat until the chicken legs are cooked through, about 15 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate. Let cool slightly, then remove the meat from the bones and let cool. Strain the chicken broth and discard the vegetables.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the flour with 1 cup of the chicken broth, adding a little of the fat from the broth; stir to form a stiff dough. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured board and knead until smooth. Wrap the dumpling dough in plastic wrap and let rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  • 3.Cut the dough into quarters. Working with 1 piece at a time, roll out the dough a scant 1/4 inch thick on a very lightly floured work surface. Cut the dough into 3-inch-wide strips and transfer to a sheet of wax paper. Working on the paper, cut each strip crosswise into 1-inch-thick dumplings and transfer the paper to a baking sheet; do not separate the dumplings. Repeat with the remaining dough, stacking each layer on the baking sheet. Freeze the dumplings until solid, at least 4 hours and preferably overnight.
  • In a large enameled cast-iron casserole, combine the sliced carrots and celery and the remaining chopped onion with 4 cups of the broth and bring to a boil. Season well with salt and pepper and cook until the vegetables are just tender, 7 to 8 minutes. Add the cooked chicken and return to a boil.
  • Separate the frozen dumplings and add them to the simmering broth a few at a time, submerging them in the broth. Bring the broth to a simmer and cook until the dumplings are tender, about 15 minutes; tuck the dumplings into the broth occasionally.
  • Spoon the chicken and dumplings into bowls and serve.
  • MAKE AHEAD The recipe can be prepared through Step 3 up to 3 days ahead. Refrigerate the broth and the chicken; keep the dumplings frozen.

MAMAW'S CHICKEN AND RICE CASSEROLE



Mamaw's Chicken and Rice Casserole image

I grew up on this recipe, my Grandmother got it from a lady from church at a pot luck a long time ago! She passed it down to my mom and it's always been a family favorite. Quick and easy for school nights, and the leftovers are just as good! You can use less butter on top of course, my Momma and Mamaw always put the full stick on top (gotta love Southern ladies and their butter!)

MAMAW'S SOUTHERN BUTTERMILK CHICKEN



Mamaw's Southern Buttermilk Chicken image

This recipe was given to me from a friend's housekeeper, who was kind to share it with me. It was passed down through her family. Chicken would be fried early in the morning or night before, then placed in the oven to finish while at church, then served for Sunday lunch. It is the best fried chicken around! Love and thanks, Maxine!

Time 9h50m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (3 pound) chicken, cut into 8 pieces
2 quarts buttermilk
2 tablespoons hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco®)
2 tablespoons crushed garlic
2 cups vegetable oil for frying
3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ tablespoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon ground dried sage
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon garlic powder

Steps:

  • Rinse the chicken, and cut the chicken breast halves in half horizontally to make 10 pieces in all. Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels. Combine the buttermilk, hot pepper sauce, and garlic in a large plastic zipper bag. Add the chicken pieces, and squeeze the air out of the bag, close it, and refrigerate overnight.
  • The next day, preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep-sided skillet over medium heat until the oil shimmers but doesn't smoke. Whisk together the flour, brown sugar, salt, black pepper, sage, paprika, and garlic powder in a large bowl. Remove 2 or 3 pieces of chicken at a time from the buttermilk mixture, and press into the flour mixture until well coated. Shake off excess flour.
  • Fry 2 or 3 pieces of coated chicken at a time in the hot oil until the crust is golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes (chicken meat may still be pink inside). Drain on paper towels, and place into a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 1 hour.
