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

MOM'S CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS (BOTT BOI)



Mom's Chicken and Dumplings (Bott Boi) image

When I was a child my Mother made "Chicken and Dumplings" that were out of this world. They approached Paradise. After I was grown and took up cooking I tried in vain to find "her" recipe. I never developed a taste for drop dumplings.A few months ago I was watching an regional home cooking show on the TV, suddenly there was "Mom's Chicken and Dumplings" on a program about Pennsylvania Dutch cooking. How Mom came by it originally is one of life's mysteries. This is so good, chickens volunteer for the privilege of being part of it.

This is my Mom's fantastic chicken and dumpling recipe. Of course there are as many C&D recipes as there are Southern mom's, but this sure is good to me and you don't have to cut shortening into the dumplings like others. I encourage anyone who tries it to adjust the thickness and quantity of dumplings to their suiting, This is mine.

MOM'S CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS (SLOW COOKER VERSION)



Mom's Chicken and Dumplings (Slow Cooker Version) image

This is a favorite recipe originally made by my mother with chicken on-the-bone and homemade broth cooked over a stove. I have found I don't have the time to start from scratch and that this version tastes just as good with less fuss! You can substitute freshly cooked chicken, if desired. You can line the slow cooker with a slow cooker liner for easy clean-up.
