CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS
My mom made a similar recipe for this comforting dish, and I still remember the wonderful aroma of chicken and dumplings cooking throughout the house. She didn't make it often, but when she did, what a treat. I especially loved the light, tender dumplings, which is still my most favorite part of this dish. (In a pinch, Bisquick dumplings are also very good). For those of you, like my good friend Cindy, who like a more Southern style of dumpling (heavier, chewier), the recipe is at the bottom. This recipe is from Steph's Country Kitchen Goodness. This is my favorite website for recipes.

Steps:
- For the chicken: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Remove the neck and giblets from the cavity of the chicken and discard. Rinse the chicken under cold water, inside and out. Pat dry thoroughly with paper towels. Season the body and cavity of the chicken generously with salt and pepper.
- In a small bowl, mash together the butter, lemon juice, and chopped herbs. Rub the herbed butter all over the chicken, as well as under the skin. Put the lemon halves, onion, garlic, and whole herbs inside the chicken cavity, for added flavor. Tie the legs together with kitchen twine. Place the chicken, breast side up, in a roasting pan fitted with a rack. Roast for 1 hour until the meat is no longer pink. When cool enough to handle, shred the meat, discarding the skin and set aside. Reserve the bones for chicken stock.
- For the stock: Coat a large stockpot with olive oil and place over medium heat. Add the vegetables and saute for 3 minutes. Add the reserved chicken bones, water, and herbs; simmer for 1 hour. Strain the stock to remove the solids and set aside.
- For the dumplings: sift dry ingredients together in a large bowl. In a small bowl, lightly beat the eggs and milk together; pour the liquid in the dry ingredients and gently fold. Mix just until the dough comes together, the batter should be thick and cake-like.
- For the sauce: In a Dutch oven, melt butter and heat oil over medium heat. Add carrot, celery, garlic, and bay leaves. Saute until the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in the flour to make a roux. Continue to stir and cook for 2 minutes to coat the flour and remove the starchy taste. Slowly pour in the chicken stock, 1 cup at a time, stirring well after each addition.
- Let sauce simmer until it is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 15 minutes. Stir in heavy cream.
- Fold the reserved shredded chicken into the sauce and bring up to a simmer. Using 2 spoons, carefully drop heaping tablespoonfuls of the dumpling batter into the hot mixture. The dumplings should cover the top of the sauce, but should not be touching or crowded. Let the dumplings poach for 10 to 15 minutes until they are firm and puffy. Season with freshly cracked black pepper and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Steps:
- Start with a large heavy bottom pot that has a lid (like an enameled cast iron pot or Dutch oven) over medium heat.
- Add the olive oil. Once it is hot add the onions, carrots, celery and garlic. Sauté for about 7-8 minutes, stirring often, so the onions are nice and soft.
- Stir in the onion powder, turmeric, salt, pepper, and chicken base, so it coats the veggies.
- Pour in the chicken broth, water and add the bay leaf. Give everything a good stir.
- Simmer over medium heat for 20 minutes, until the carrots and celery are just fork tender.Go ahead and make the dumpling dough at this point and set aside until the stew is done simmering. See instructions below.
- Remove the bay leaf and discard. Stir in the cooked chicken.
- Increase the heat to medium-high to bring the pot to a gentle boil. Drop tablespoons full of the dumpling dough into the simmering broth. PRO TIP: Resist the urge to stir the dumplings!!!! They will have a better texture if you let them simmer/steam.
- Once all the dumplings are in the pot, lower the heat to medium-low and pop the lid on. Let the dumplings lightly simmer for 15 minutes without disturbing!
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl mash together the flour and butter (Beurre Manié) until it is combined. Set aside.
- Remove the lid and pour in the heavy cream and frozen peas. Lightly stir in the flour/butter thickener. Let it simmer over low heat for another 5 minutes. The heat will thaw the peas and thicken the stew.
- Remove from the heat and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Steps:
- Put the chicken and the veggies (if using) in a large stockpot. Cover completely with water. Bring to a quick boil, then continue cooking chicken for one hour. When done, remove chicken to large bowl to cool. Strain broth to remove leftover veggies or other particles. Return broth to stockpot.
- Once chicken is cool, remove skin, then cut chicken into bite sized pieces. (At this point I divide the chicken pieces in half, and freeze half for use in another meal).
- Add chicken pieces (approx. 2 1/2 cups) back into chicken broth. Heat the chicken and broth back up to boiling. Add bouillon cubes, salt and pepper (to taste).
- While chicken is coming to a boil, make the dumplings. In a large bowl, using a pastry blender or two knives, cut the shortening and salt into the cup of flour, until shortening is the size of small peas. Add 1/2 cup HOT water and 1/2 cup, plus 2 Tablespoons of flour to the mixture. Stir and work the mixture until a soft dough ball forms (firm enough to roll out). Divide dough into 3 equal sized balls, then let the dough rest for 10 minutes.
- Generously flour a work surface. Roll each dough ball out (one at a time), sprinkling with flour (if necessary) to keep dough from sticking to work surface. Roll out to about the size of a large pie crust (roll out thin). Cut dough into strips about an inch wide using a pizza cutter or knife. Repeat process for remaining dough balls.
- Drop dumplings a couple at a time into hot boiling chicken/broth mixture until all have been added to pot; add butter, and continue cooking.
- Make a slurry by mixing 1/4 cup water with 2 large Tablespoons flour. Stir well to combine, then add to soup pot, and stir well. (this helps to thicken broth a bit). Cook an additional 10 minutes on high to fully cook dumplings. Taste test broth, and add additional salt and pepper, if desired. Ladle hot soup into bowls, serve, and enjoy (especially with crusty french bread on the side!)

THE BEST CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS
The best things take a little work, and these are SO worth the extra effort. This is one of those recipes that you'll be remembered for long after you're dead! Oh, and go ahead and double the dumplings, because I promise you'll want them. My mom was famous for these, and I can only imagine she'd want me to share this recipe with everyone I can.

Steps:
- Start with the soup. Chop all the veggies.
- In the biggest pot you have, saute the veggies in olive oil until the onions are soft.
- Add the chicken broth, the seasoning salt (I like Morton's Nature's Seasoning best) and the chicken breasts.
- Cook for about 30 minutes, until the chicken is done.
- Take the chicken out, shred it, and return it to the soup.
- Now for the good part: the dumplings. Mix all the dry ingredients.
- Add the milk, and cut it into the dough until it forms a kind of dry, crumbly texture.
- Now knead it until it forms a nice dough-y texture.
- Put some flour down on the counter, and roll the dough until it is really, really thin. This'll take some work. It's fun though. If you're making a lot, or if you're short for room, or if you did as I advised and doubled the dumplings, you'll need to do this in a few batches.
- With a pizza cutter, cut the dough into little rectangular dumplings about the size of those gummy erasers we used in elementary school. If they don't come out even, you'll live.
- Drop the dumplings one by one into the soup. Don't stir it for a few minutes.
- The dumplings will float to the top in a few minutes. If they don't, you probably did something wrong.
- Simmer at least another 45 minutes, or as long as you like.
- Put on your fat pants and go to town.

Steps:
- For the chicken: Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot with a lid over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the carrots, celery, onion, 1/2 teaspoon salt and about 10 grinds black pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables just begin to soften but don't take on any color, 4 to 5 minutes.

Steps:
- Chicken:
- Cut up chicken, but do not remove skin. The skin and bones can be removed later. Place chicken, celery, onion, bay leaves, bouillon and House Seasoning in water and cook at a low boil for 30 to 45 minutes, until meat begins to fall off the bones. Remove skin and bones at this point, along with bay leaves. Return chicken to pan. Prepare dumplings and set them aside for a few minutes. Add cream soup to chicken and continue to boil. If desired, you can thicken the stock at little by mixing 2 tablespoons cornstarch with 1/4 cup of water and adding it to the stock. Drop dumplings into boiling stock. Never stir dumplings. Shake the pot gently in a circular motion to submerge dumplings in stock. Cook until the dumplings float and are no longer doughy, 3 to 4 minutes. Do not overcook.
- Dumplings:
- Put flour/salt mixture in a mixing bowl. Beginning in center of flour, dribble a small amount of ice water. Work mixture with fingers from center of bowl to sides of bowl, incorporating small amounts of water at a time. Continue until all flour is used up. Batter will feel as if it is going to be tough. Knead dough and form into ball. Dust a good amount of flour onto dough board and rolling pin. Roll out dough, working from center. Dough will be firm. Roll to 1/8 inch thinness. Let it air-dry for a minute or two while you return your attention to the boiling pot at the point at which you add the canned soup to the chicken mixture. Cut dumplings into 1-inch strips. Working with one strip at a time, hold strip over pot, pull it in half, and drop into the boiling stock. Remember, do not stir after dumplings have been added to pot.
- Note: Frozen dumplings are available in most supermarkets if you don't have time to make them.

- In a large, deep pot set over medium-high heat, melt together olive oil and butter. Generously season chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Brown the chicken on both sides, working in batches so as not to crowd the pot (about 4 to 6 minutes per side). Transfer chicken to a plate and set aside.
- Add the celery, carrots, and garlic to the pot. Cook the vegetables in the drippings until they begin to soften, stirring and adjusting the heat as necessary, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add the browned chicken pieces, thyme, bay leaves, garlic powder, onion powder, and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer and cook until the chicken is cooked through, about 25 to 30 minutes. Remove and discard the thyme stems and bay leaves. Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate. Remove and discard the skin and bones, shred the chicken, and return to the pot.
- Ladle 2 cups of the cooking liquid into a large bowl or quart-sized measuring cup. Whisk in 1/2 cup of the flour until smooth. Continuously whisk the contents of the pot while slowly pouring in the flour mixture. Simmer and whisk until slightly thickened, about 8 to 10 minutes.
- To make the dumplings, in a medium bowl, whisk together the remaining flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Stir in the melted butter, buttermilk, and minced parsley until just combined. With heat reduced to low, drop rustic, tablespoon-sized balls into the simmering broth. Gently stir dumplings one time and then simmer, covered, until the dumplings are firm, about 12 to 15 minutes. Stir in sherry and season the dish with additional salt and pepper, to taste. Serve immediately, sprinkled with additional minced fresh parsley.

- Place the chicken into a large boiling pot. Add chicken broth and water. Make sure the chicken is covered with water. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to a simmer. Throughout cooking skim away any foam that forms in your pot. Simmer for 1-1/2 hours until chicken is done and tender. Remove chicken from the broth and allow to cool.
- Debone the chicken once it is cool enough to handle. While deboning the chicken discard the undesirable parts (skin, bones, etc). Cut deboned chicken into bite-sized pieces.
- Now it's time to prepare your dumplings. Preparing the dumplings is easy. Mix your flour, salt, egg, butter, and milk in a stand mixer. If you don't have a stand mixer, a mixing bowl and hand mixer will do the job. Continue to mix to form balls.
- Form your dumplings by rolling out the dough to about 1/8 inch on a cutting board. Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to cut your dough into bite-size pieces. If you feel creative try cutting out small circles, squares or diamond patterns.

- Cooking the chicken - Add chicken, bay leaves and 3/4 teaspoon of salt to a large cooking pot with enough water to cover. Bring to a low boil and reduce heat to medium/low. Simmer partially covered until chicken is cooked through. Remove from water and set aside, cut the chicken into pieces when it's cool enough to handle. Strain the water from the pot reserving 4 cups of broth, keep the bay leaves. Add the 4 cups of reserved broth, bay leaves and the extra 4 cups of broth (or bouillon)back to your large cooking pot.
- Cooking the vegetables - While the chicken is cooking, bring 1/2 inch water to simmer in a skillet fitted with a steamer basket. Add celery, carrots and boiling onions; cover and steam until tender, about 15 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- Making the gravy - Simmer your chicken broth. Add butter, thyme and vermouth to the pot. Next your going to make a roux that will thicken your gravy - put your flour into a bowl and add just enough warm water to make a paste. Then using a wire whisk, slowly add the roux to the pot. Next add your evaporated milk and continue to simmer. If the gravy doesn't thicken slightly by the time your dumplings are finished, add another roux with the measurements halved.
- Preparing the biscuits - While your gravy is simmering, you can start making your biscuits. Place a little bit of flour on your cutting board and rolling pin. Open the package and knead the dough together with your hands. Roll it out into a sheet as best you can, the dough will be very resistant. Cut into thin strips about a half an inch thick and 3 inches long. Don’t make them to thick or they won’t cook properly.

- For the dumplings, whisk buttermilk and egg together in a measuring glass/small bowl and refrigerate until needed.
- Heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat in a large Dutch oven/soup pot. Season chicken with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper then sear until golden, about 2 minutes per side. Remove to a plate but leave drippings.
- Melt 3 tablespoons butter with 2 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add onions, carrots and celery; sauté for 4 minutes scaping up the golden bits on the bottom of the pan. Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds; sprinkle in flour then cook, stirring constantly for 2 minutes (it will be thick); don’t let flour stick to the bottom of the pot or it will burn later. You can add additional oil if needed.
- Stir in chicken broth, chicken bouillon, all seasonings, 1/4 teaspoon salt, bay leaf and chicken broth. Add chicken back to the pot. Cover the soup to bring to a simmer, then displace the lid so it’s partially covering the pot, with about a one-inch opening. Simmer the soup for 12-15 minutes or until chicken is tender enough to shred, stirring occasionally and replacing the lid. Meanwhile, make dumpling dough.

- Sautéed Collard Greens. This Southern staple is an excellent way to get some nutritional greens into your diet while still feeling like you’re indulging in a hearty meal.
- Mashed Potatoes. This classic dish is perfect for satisfying any craving you might have when it comes to comfort food. They’re essentially potatoes whipped up with milk or dairy substitute, butter, salt, and pepper.
- Buttered Carrots. These are a classic side dish as well, and they go with just about any main course. If you want them even more delicious, add some herbs like thyme or rosemary after they’ve been boiled in water until tender.
- Fried Onion Rings. Who doesn’t love fried onion rings? They’re crunchy on the outside but soft on the inside, with that sweet flavor coming through perfectly alongside anything else you’re serving.
- Roasted Asparagus. Pick up ahead of asparagus at the grocery store and roast it in your oven. It’s so easy, and you can make them with just salt or pepper to taste if you don’t want anything else on there.
- Cornbread Stuffing Balls. If you’re looking for something different than traditional bread stuffing and cranberry sauce, try these cornbread balls instead.
- Baked beans. If you’re not into traditional Southern-style baked beans, try different variations with ingredients like molasses, maple syrup, or bacon to give them more flavor.
- Rice Pilaf. Any side dish that’s made from the rice will be an excellent accompaniment because there’s plenty of carbs to go around as well as protein if you cook some meat or beans in with the rice.
- Red Cabbage Coleslaw. This is a classic favorite for serving alongside chicken and dumplings because it provides all of the crunches that you need without overloading on carbs like mashed potatoes might do.
- Cheddar Scalloped Potatoes. Potatoes are a staple side dish for Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner, but they’re also perfect for serving alongside chicken and dumplings.

- Make the Soup-Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper. In a large Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium-high heat. Working in two batches, brown the chicken until golden, about 4 minutes per side. If the pot is looking a little dark on the bottom, splash some water and scrape up any browned bits between batches, and keep those juices with the chicken.
- Return all the chicken to the pot and add 8 cups water, the bay leaf, thyme, rosemary, and 1 tablespoon salt. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to a gentle simmer, and cook for 1 hour.
- Strain the broth through a colander set over a large bowl (there should be about 8 cups liquid; skim off some of the fat if you want). Discard the bay leaf and herb sprigs. Using two forks or a pair of tongs, pick the chicken meat off the bones (discard the bones and skin and set aside).
- In the same Dutch oven, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and the butter over medium-high heat. Add the onion, carrots, and celery and cook, stirring, until the carrots begin to soften, about 6 minutes. Add the flour and cook, stirring, until all the flour has been absorbed and darkens a bit, about 5 minutes. Add the strained broth, the chicken meat, and the potato, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the broth thickens, about 20 minutes. Stir in the cream, if using. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
