BETTER THAN CRACKER BARREL® CHICKEN 'N DUMPLINGS

My Grandma grew up on a farm and this was her recipe - no shortcuts but still pretty easy. For best results you must use a whole chicken and flour. You can also use some chicken stock for added flavor. The trick is the lemon which makes the chicken tender and adds flavor to the soup. Leftovers won't last very long with this.

Steps:

  • Mix flour and shortening together in a bowl until it resembles cornmeal.
  • Slightly beat egg and milk together in a separate bowl. Add to flour mixture and stir to form a ball of dough. Place onto a floured surface; knead and roll as thin as possible using a floured rolling pin. Let dough stand for 2 hours.
  • Place chicken into a large pot and add water to just cover. Bring to a boil over high heat and continue to boil until chicken is no longer pink in the center and meat falls off of the bone, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Remove chicken from the pot; strain broth and return to the pot. Add 2 cups water and bouillon. Remove meat from bones and return to broth. Add celery, carrots, and onion. Bring to a boil; continue to boil for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cut dough into strips, approximately 1-inch wide. Tear strips and drop into boiling broth. Continue to boil for 10 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper and serve.

BETTER THAN GRANNY'S AND EASY CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS

When my Granny died, I missed her and her chicken and dumplings, because NO one made them like Granny. I tried several recipes but they were either very complicated or not very good. Then I found this one and even my Yankee husband who doesn't like dumplings tried to hide the leftovers to take to work the next day. We LOVE this recipe. They are actually better than Granny's. Even Mama agrees. (Sorry, Granny!)

Steps:

  • In large pot, bring chicken, broth, soup, pepper and poultry seasoning to a boil.
  • Then reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes.
  • In the meantime, lightly flour a piece of waxed paper and a rolling pin (or a round drinking glass works). Also lay out a clean piece of waxed paper to put on after rolling.
  • Take two biscuits and roll out in circle to 1/8 inch thickness. Lay them on the other piece of waxed paper.

4 (14 ounce) cans chicken broth
2 (10 1/2 ounce) cans cream of celery soup
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • 1. FOR THE SOUP: 1) Put the water and Wyler's chicken bouillon in a medium sized pot. 2) Add the uncooked chicken, carrots, celery, green beans, and onions. Cover for 10 minutes on medium heat or until chicken is cooked. 3) Remove the chicken from the pot and separate the meat. NOTE: You can cut the chicken into small cubes beforehand if you want to skip this step. (My kids prefer the shredded chicken to the cubed ones for some reason) 4) Add the entire can of Campbell's cream of chicken soup. Simmer for 15 minutes. 5) Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder according to your and your family's taste. Mix well and cover for another 5 mins. Then, serve and enjoy.
