Chicken and Dumplings Recipe?

Question

I am making chicken and dumplings for dinner, and can't remember how to make it! It's been a while. Any simple recipes would be great!

**Just normal Chicken and Dumplins please!

Answer 1

oh my family just made this. season the chicken. they used chicken of course, and they put it in a pot to boil. once it is done cooking, or almost done, you use biscuit dough in the can. you season the dough and roll in it like 1/2-1 in balls and let them cook in the chicken with the water.  

Answer 2

Everyone loves my chicken and dumplings and it is so easy.  I have been using the same basic recipe for years and it never fails and here it is....

I use 2 and half to 3 pounds of fryer chicken pieces.  Wash and pat dry the chicken pieces.  Mix 1 cup of flour and quarter cup of bisquick, about two teaspoons of salt, fresh black pepper and about a teaspoon of paprika in a a paper bag.  Melt 2 tablespoons of shortening and a tablespoon of butter in a large skillet (must have a lid).  I like to use my electric skillet for this recipe.  Shake chicken pieces a few at a time in the flour mixture.  Once your oil is hot , brown chicken pieces on all sides (just brown it, do not cook it through).  After the chicken is golden brown on both sides, remove the chicken from the skillet and place on paper towels to drain.  Drain the the fat from your skillet, and stir in one can of cream of chicken soup and a cup and a half of milk.  Place chicken back into the skillet and simmer covered for 40 minutes.  While the chicken is simmering, prepare dumplings according to the recipe on the bisquick box.  You must mix this properly.  Make sure and use a dry measuring cup for the bisquick and a liquid one for the milk.  Make sure and double the recipe, because everyone is going to want seconds.Before adding the milk, to the bisquick add 1/2 a teaspoon of dried parsley flakes, a quarter teaspoon of  poultry seasoning and a dash of ground nutmeg. After the chicken has been cooking for 40 minutes, drop your dumpling mixture by teaspoon full into the simmering gravy and cook uncovered for exactly 10 minutes.  (When making dumplings timing is everthing!)  Then cook covered for exactly ten minutes.  No peaking!!  If you open the lid during the last ten minutes of cooking your dumplings are doomed!  That's it... perfect chicken and dumplings evertime.  If you want, you can add some canned or thawed frozen mixed veggies in with the chicken before adding the dumplings.

Enjoy your dinner!

Answer 4

Chicken & Dumplings are a family favorite and so quick and easy to make.

Boil your chicken, salt and pepper to taste and add a chicken bouillion cube or granules. (Boneless chicken is easier and quicker)

Tear or cut cooked chicken into bite sized pieces, put back into pot.

Add carrots, green peas and potatoes (I peel and cube mine).

Let all this simmer together for a bit and thicken the broth (I use cornstarch mixed with a little water, stirred together, then added to the broth).

Use Bisquick baking mix...following directions on the package..2 cups Bisquick and 2/3 cup of milk...

Drop spoon-sized balls of dough onto broth and cook uncovered for 10 minutes...Then cover and cook for another 10 minutes.

Quick ...Easy...1 dish recipe!!!

Answer 5

I agree that Bisquick is the best out there (besides our mom"s recipe that is).

I take chicken b*****s in the biggest pan you can get; either add canned chicken broth or chicken boullion cubes (the go a long way and I get the low salt ones), with lots of water and cook the chicken until it's easy to pull apart.  Or you can cube semi-frozen chicken b*****s which will speed up the process.

Then shred carrots (or cut them up), and drop the mixed bisquick into the mix; cook 10 mins uncovered and 10 covered.  

When you dish the dumplings out, the chicken is on the bottom, so it plates really nice.

Easy stuff and tastes like homemade.

Answer 6

This is my grandmothers recipe adapted to a crockpot for those busy moms. Also I use refrigerator biscuits instead of homemade. My family likes them better.

If you don't have a crock pot you can cook this on top of the stove just cut the time down to 2-3 hours and follow the rest of the recipe as is. You can add the carrots with the chicken if you like. It's just easier to separate and de-bone without the carrots at the beginning. You can also substitute boneless chicken b*****s or cut up pieces of chicken. If you use boneless cut the time down to 1 hour.

Chicken and Dumplings

1 whole chicken

1 bay leaf

2 tsp garlic salt

6 black peppercorns

6 cups of water

1 cup baby carrots

1 package refrigerator biscuits (10 – 12)

Place chicken in crock pot and add everything except carrots. Cook on low for about 8-10 hours. Remove chicken and de-bone. Pour broth into large pot on stove and heat until boiling. Add carrots and cook for 30 minutes. Thicken broth with cornstarch or flour mixed with cold water. Tear refrigerator biscuits into 3-4 pieces each and drop into boiling broth, lower heat and cover. Simmer for about 5 minutes, until biscuits puff up. Add chicken and carrots, stir, and serve.

Answer 7

Cook your chicken breast in a dutch oven. When cooked, take out and chop or shred the chicken. Put back into pot with the chicken broth. Add about 2 cups of milk. Then take some self-rising flour and milk. (make biscuit dough without the crisco) Bring your chicken and liquid to a boil and then drop the dough by spoonfuls into the liquid. This will thicken in just a few min. Add salt and pepper and enjoy!
