Anita's Chicken and Dumplings

Recipes »  Main Dish  »  Poultry - Chicken

This is what home-cooking is all about! Heavenly !!

"Was in the mood for a little comfort food on a chilly Saturday night. This hit the spot. I haven't had chicken & dumplings in years.

Used 6 breasts...yes, a little much for 3 of us...but will use the leftovers for a chicken pie in a couple of days.

Following recipe...the only mention is that you might want to use some chicken stock for part of the water volume as it needed a little more flavor. Additionally...we had to add salt. Perhaps the chicken stock added would take that place.

Overall...a great recipe. Will definitely consider this as a re-do in the dead of winter.

Anita's Chicken and Dumplings Preparation

In large Dutch oven or kettle, combine chicken, celery, onion, carrots, parsley, poultry season, rosemary, salt, pepper; cover with water and bring to a boil. Turn down temperature and cook on low until chicken and vegetables are tender. (approximately 1 hour) Remove chicken breasts, cool, and cut up in bite size pieces and return to vegetable broth mixture in kettle.

For dumplings, combine bisquick mix, thyme, nutmeg, poultry seasoning, parsley; stir in milk just until moistened.

I usually double the dumpling recipe because we like lots of dumplings and a thicker gravy.

Drop by tablespoonfuls onto the boiling broth. Cook uncovered, for 10 minutes; cover and cook 10 minutes longer.

To add to my previous comment, I did only cook veggies 40 minutes as per posted comments. Not sure about the bland comments, mine was anything but!

Not a big fan of the original recipe but I thought I would give it a shot. Definitely needs more seasoning as it is quite bland. Very easy though.

Wow. This was a great surprise. We peppered it up a little more than the recipe and got some added kick. I would only simmer the chicken for about 40 minutes then finish cooking winkle boiling the dumplings

I would say this a great way to cook chicken and dumplings quick. I would say flavor was in issue. Luckily I read other reviews. Ousted 3 boullion cubes and 50% chicken stock and 50% water and I would say it stil lack. A little flavor. I agree with the author on extra dumplings I did not do that and I wish I would of. I have left overs frozen. And I know they will be good always better secon time around

I really enjoyed this recipe. The herbs were very prominent, so I'll cut them back a little next time. But overall, it was very satisfying.

Absolutely awesome. My family loved it and it was easy to make! Leftovers for lunch tomorrow!!!!

I've fixed it twice and loved it both times. I use leg quarters instead of breasts as they are juicier. I also make another batch of dumplings when I heat up the leftovers.

FANTASTIC! Only comment is that if you use less chicken breasts still use a little more water than covering chicken as it boils away quick with the dumplings. This will be a new regular in our home. Everyone loved it!
