Here Is What Most People Don’t Know About Making Chicken and Dumplings
- Fluffy Dumplings: To ensure fluffy dumplings, don’t overmix the dough. Stir until just combined to avoid tough dumplings.
- Flavorful Broth: Use homemade or high-quality chicken broth for the best flavor. Adding a splash of white wine can also elevate the taste.
- Thickening the Soup: For a thicker soup, mix a bit of flour with cold water and stir it into the broth before adding the dumplings.
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup diced carrots
- 1 cup diced celery
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Bald Buck Seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
Instructions
- In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions, garlic, carrots, and celery, cooking until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes.
- Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Stir in the shredded chicken, Bald Buck Seasoning, pepper, thyme, and parsley. Let the mixture simmer while you prepare the dumplings.
- In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and 1 teaspoon of Bald Buck Seasoning. Stir in the milk until just combined to form a dough.
- Drop spoonfuls of the dough into the simmering broth, making sure they are evenly spaced. Cover the pot and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the dumplings are cooked through and fluffy.
- Optional: For a thicker soup, mix 2 tablespoons of flour with 1/4 cup of cold water until smooth. Stir this mixture into the broth before adding the dumplings.
- Let the chicken and dumplings cool slightly before serving to enhance the flavors.
