Categories     Soup

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 tablespoons butter (divided)
2 carrots (diced small)
2 stalks celery plus their leaves (diced)
1 onion (diced)
1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (divided)
4 cups low sodium chicken stock/broth
1 cup whole milk (divided)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves (or 1/2 teaspoon dried, plus more for garnish)
2 cups cooked diced or shredded chicken
extra salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Sauté the carrots, celery, and onions in 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large pot over medium high heat until softened a bit and beginning to brown (about 3 minutes).
  • Add 1/4 cup flour, stir to coat.
  • Add chicken broth (4 cups) and bring to a boil.
  • Turn the heat down to simmer and add 1/2 cup milk and the chicken. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Meanwhile, to make the dumplings, mix together the remaining 1 cup of flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, melted, until flour mixture is crumbly looking. Add the remaining 1/2 cup of milk and stir until JUST combined. Do NOT over mix, or your dumplings may be dense.
  • Add spoonfuls of the dumpling mixture to the simmering pot- I recommend using a small cookie scoop for this (a tablespoon can also be used).
  • Cover and simmer on low for 15 minutes, or until dumplings are fluffy, cooked, and float to the top. No peeking!
  • Serve garnished with extra fresh thyme and fresh ground pepper, if desired.

QUICK AND SUPER EASY CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS



Quick and Super Easy Chicken and Dumplings image

This is a great recipe for Southern-style chicken and dumplings. My husband doesn't usually like chicken and dumplings, but he absolutely loved these and asked for seconds (which he never does with anything). My little boys (2, 4, and 5 years) ate it up and asked for more also. I just threw this together on a night I didn't feel like spending much time and energy on cooking. This is great and easy for the kids to help with also.

Time 20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 ¼ cups biscuit baking mix
⅔ cup milk
2 (14 ounce) cans chicken broth
2 (10 ounce) cans chunk chicken, drained

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, stir together the biscuit mix and milk just until it pulls together. Set aside.
  • Pour the cans of chicken broth into a saucepan along with the chicken; bring to a boil. Once the broth is at a steady boil, take a handful of biscuit dough and flatten it in your hand. Tear off 1 to 2 inch pieces and drop them into the boiling broth. Make sure they are fully immersed at least for a moment. Once all of the dough is in the pot, carefully stir so that the newest dough clumps get covered by the broth. Cover, and simmer over medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

SUPER SIMPLE CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS



Super Simple Chicken and Dumplings image

This recipe is a favorite for my daughter and myself! It's a super easy one so I don't mind fixing it anytime especially since my daughter could eat the whole pot by herself! She prefers just the dumplings so I double them but you can do it as you wish! Enjoy!

Provided by NURSNMOM

Categories     One Dish Meal

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken. Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or breasts are the best choices for this recipe, as they will yield the most flavorful broth.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot. If you're cooking a lot of chicken, cook it in batches so that it doesn't overcrowd the pot and cook evenly.
  • Use a large pot. You'll need a large pot to hold all of the chicken, broth, and dumplings.
  • Season the broth well. Don't be afraid to add plenty of salt and pepper to the broth. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or dried herbs.
  • Make sure the dumplings are cooked through. The dumplings should be cooked through before you serve them. You can check to see if they're done by inserting a toothpick into the center. If the toothpick comes out clean, the dumplings are done.

Conclusion:

Chicken and dumplings is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. This recipe is a great starting point for making your own chicken and dumplings, but you can feel free to experiment with different ingredients and flavors to create your own unique dish.
