Old Fashioned Chicken and Dumplings

Old Fashioned Chicken and Dumplings is a family favorite meal that is both comforting and delicious! This easy recipe is created from scratch including the tender dumplings and juicy chicken in an easy homemade broth. This recipe starts with a whole chicken simmered to tender perfection with veggies and seasonings. Simple dumplings made with pantry ingredients are simmered in the broth until plump and tender. This is a family favorite that will be requested again and again!

Ingredients :
  • Parsley
  • Dumpling
  • 3/4 cup Milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking powder
  • 1 3/4 cups Flour plus extra for dusting
  • Salt
  • 1/3 cup Shortening
  • Broth
  • 1 Bay leaf
  • 4 tablespoons Cornstarch
  • 8 cups Low sodium chicken broth
  • 3 stalks Celery cut into thirds
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • 3 Large carrots cut into thirds
  • 1 Chicken cut into pieces
Directions :
  1. Combine chicken, onion, carrots and celery in a large pot. Season to taste.
  2. Add chicken broth. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer covered 45-60 minutes or until chicken is tender. While broth is simmering, prepare dumplings below.
  3. Remove chicken and vegetables from broth. Discard skin and bones and chop remaining chicken, set aside.
  4. Gently add dumplings to broth. Simmer 15-20 minutes or until tender.
  5. Stir chicken (and vegetables if desired) into broth and cook about 2-3 minutes or until heated through.
  6. Combine flour, baking powder, salt and shortening with a fork until shortening is mixed in.
  7. Add milk a little at a time and mix until combined (you may not need all of it, you want a soft but not sticky dough).
  8. Knead a few times on a floured surface until dough is smooth.
  9. Generously flour your surface and roll the dough out to 1/8″ thick. Cut dough into 1″ x 2″ strips. Flour generously to avoid sticking.
  10. Cook in broth as directed above.
  11. In a small bowl combine 4 tablespoons cornstarch with 4 tablespoons water.
  12. Add to boiling broth a little bit at a time stirring to reach desired consistency.
