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.

SUNNY'S EASY CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS



Sunny's Easy Chicken and Dumplings image

Provided by Sunny Anderson

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 8 servings (makes about 50 dumplings)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 cup unsalted butter, plus 1 tablespoon
1 medium onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 whole (5- to 6-pound) chicken, skin on, cut into 8 pieces, including neck
6 cups water
6 cups low-sodium chicken stock
5 to 6 fresh thyme sprigs, plus 1 tablespoon chopped leaves
Small bunch parsley stems, plus 1 tablespoon chopped leaves
2 fresh sage sprigs, plus 1 tablespoon chopped leaves
1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
1 stalk celery, trimmed and halved crosswise
2 to 3 cups all-purpose flour, plus
1 tablespoon 1 tablespoon kosher salt, plus more for seasoning

Steps:

  • In a large stockpot over medium-high heat, melt 1/4 cup butter and lightly saute the onions and garlic, about 3 minutes. Add the chicken, water, and stock, making sure liquid covers meat. Tie the thyme sprigs, parsley stems, and sage sprigs together and add to the pot along with the peppercorns, and celery. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer the chicken until it is "fall of the bone" tender, about 30 minutes, skimming off scum as it simmers. Remove the chicken from the pot to a cutting board and let cool. Remove the herb bundle and the celery and discard. Reserve the stock. When the chicken is cool enough to handle, pull it from bones and cut into bite-sized pieces.
  • In a large bowl, mix together 2 cups of flour with the remaining chopped herbs and the tablespoon of salt. Make a well in the middle and pour 1 cup of the reserved chicken stock, including fat, into the well. Using a fork, slowly stir the stock into the flour. Repeat, adding more flour and/or stock until a soft, doughy consistency is reached. Add more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, if it gets too sticky. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to 1/8 to 1/4-inch thickness. Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to slice the dough into 2-inch squares, then cut the squares in half on the diagonal into triangles.
  • Return the stock to a simmer and slowly add the dumplings, allowing some excess flour to remain on the dumplings to increase the body of the broth. Be careful not to let the dumplings touch as they are added to the pot. Cook until the dumplings rise to the surface. If the broth does not thicken to your liking, mix together 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon flour in a small bowl with a fork. Slowly add the mixture into the broth to help thicken the soup. Stir in the reserved chicken and ladle into serving bowls.

QUICK CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS



Quick Chicken and Dumplings image

This is the perfect soup for when you're craving chicken and dumplings, but not quite up to the task of making the traditional dish. Store-bought rotisserie chicken and gnocchi live their best lives here, simmered in a comforting broth of chicken stock and heavy cream seasoned with rosemary and thyme. Leeks, carrots and celery are standard, but butternut squash, parsnips, mushrooms, fennel or shallots are worthy additions. Simply sauté your aromatics and vegetables, simmer with some chicken stock and cream, stir in the chicken and gnocchi, and dinner is done in 20 minutes from start to finish.

Provided by Alexa Weibel

Categories     dinner, quick, weekday, poultry, soups and stews, main course

Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings (about 9 cups)

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 medium carrots or 8 ounces butternut squash, peeled and chopped into 1/2-inch pieces (about 1 cup)
1 medium leek, trimmed, white and pale green portion halved lengthwise and thinly sliced (about 1 cup)
2 medium celery stalks, peeled and sliced 1/2-inch thick (about 2/3 cup)
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning (optional)
Kosher salt and black pepper
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
5 cups chicken stock
1 cup heavy cream
1 (16-ounce) package fresh or shelf-stable store-bought gnocchi
1/2 small (3-pound) store-bought rotisserie chicken, skin and bones discarded, meat torn into bite-size pieces (about 2 cups shredded meat)
Fresh tarragon, parsley or dill, for garnish

Steps:

  • In a large pot, melt the butter over medium. Add the carrots, leek, celery, garlic, rosemary, thyme and poultry seasoning, if using. Season generously with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are slightly softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Sprinkle with the flour, then cook, stirring, 2 minutes. (This cooks the flour to soften its raw flavor.) Gradually stir in the stock and cream, and bring to a boil over high heat.
  • Once the mixture boils, stir in the gnocchi, reduce the heat to medium and cook until gnocchi and vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the chicken in the last couple of minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Divide among bowls and top with fresh tarragon and more black pepper, if desired.

  • Prep Your Ingredients: Before you start cooking, make sure all your ingredients are prepped and measured. This will help you save time and ensure that your cooking goes smoothly.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Whenever possible, use fresh ingredients for the best flavor and texture. Fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices will make a big difference in your dish.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Pan: When cooking chicken or dumplings, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and will result in soggy dumplings.
  • Cook the Chicken Thoroughly: Make sure the chicken is cooked thoroughly before adding it to the dumplings. This will help prevent foodborne illness.
  • Use a Large Pot: Use a large pot when making chicken and dumplings. This will give the dumplings plenty of room to cook and prevent them from sticking together.
  • Don't Overcook the Dumplings: Dumplings are delicate, so be careful not to overcook them. Overcooked dumplings will be tough and chewy.
  • Serve Immediately: Chicken and dumplings are best served immediately after they are made. This will ensure that the dumplings are light and fluffy.
