How to Make Chicken and Dumplings | Get Cookin’ | Allrecipes.com

Chicken and dumplings is one of the most quintessential Southern Comfort foods of all time to know it is to love it but do you know how to make it I’m showing you how to make chicken and dumplings from scratch grandma style I’m starting by cooking our chicken and making the

Flavorful broth all in one step just chop up a couple onions and a few stalks of celery this is not my recipe but it is one of our highest rated chicken and dumpling recipes so I’m not gonna question this process I can already tell this is going to have so

Much flavor we’re starting by making the broth and cooking the chicken all in one pot to that I’m adding in a quart of store-bought chicken stock or just pre-made chicken stock and then I’m going in with about seven pounds of cut up chicken I just went ahead and

Purchased the breast and the thighs they’re just the easiest to handle to that I’m going to add a couple teaspoons of salt once that comes to a simmer I’m going to keep it on about medium low and put the lid on just kind of slant it off to the

Side so it’s partially covered and then just cook it until the meat is cooked through and tender about 20 minutes now it’s time for the dumplings you got to say dumplings okay it just makes the whole experience taste even better it starts by cracking one egg and mixing that with a little milk Mix that together add in our our baking powder that’s going to help these get nice and fluffy and then a little bit of salt get all that mixed in together and then you want to get some cold butter dispersed through this dough sometimes when I’ve made it I’ve kind of

Cut some shortening into the flour mixture before adding your wet ingredients that might blend a little better but a trick I have for cutting that butter in is to grate it and then just kind of fold it in and then finally I’m going to stir in a little bit of

Fresh chopped parsley I love the way it kind of brings in a little bit of freshness and color once that chicken is mostly cooked through and tender I’m just going to doll up these dumplings right on the top and cover it and let it cook for another 10 minutes and the

Steam and the liquid is all going to cook this mixture into pillowy bites of them at this point you want to fully cover the pot so that all that steam is trapped in there and really cooks the dumplings all the way around Let It Go about 10 minutes and get ready pillows

These are going to be the perfect vessel to sop up that creamy delicious comforting gravy I’m going to pull these out and keep them separate do yourself a favor and double The Dumpling part of this recipe it’s a whole lot of chicken for only six dumplings

And now I’m going to remove the chicken shred it from the bone now all of this goodness left in the bottom of the pot is our Liquid Gold that we’re going to turn into that thick gravy like consistency that we love in our chicken and dumplings so I’m going to strain out

All of the onions and celery and any little remnants of chicken left you’re going to want to press out the vegetables just to get any liquid remaining I mean look it’s even the color of gold when I tell you Liquid Gold I mean this goes back into our pot

And then I’m going to thicken it up so I’ve just got about a cup of water into that I’m adding in some flour and then whisk that together until it’s really smooth and now it all just comes together I’m going to whisk this into our stock I’m going to bring that up to

A simmer this is that nice thick gravy this is what you want when it coats that spoon really well it’s nice and velvety smooth add in the chicken I’m giving the chicken a good stir because once you add the dumplings back in you don’t want to break them up by stirring too much

Now I’m going to place my dumplings back in looks to me like chicken and dumpling perfection steamy goodness right here I wish y’all were here right now I don’t know that you can fully appreciate this until you make it yourself a little more parsley and some pepper that’s what I’m

Talking about the perfect bite is a little bit of dumpling a little bit of chicken smothered in the gravy this recipe is an absolute must try and when you do don’t forget to tag me also let me know what other Comfort Classics you want me to teach you how to make

Next now get cooking chicken and dumplings from scratch grandma style and no I’m not a grandma yet For a long long time
