Delicious Chicken And Dumplings Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oil in Dutch oven (or a nice big pt that you have a lid for) on medium high heat, add cubed chicken and garlic. Stir; cooking until chicken is white.
• Add broth, bouillon, salt, pepper, bay leaf, and fresh vegetables to create a stew. Bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat on stew; simmer on low, covered, 30 minutes, or until chicken and vegetables are tender.
• While stew simmers, open biscuits and set out on a plate (to rise) or make your own biscuits.
• In separate container, mix flour and milk. After 30 minutes of simmering, remove bay leaf from broth, then whisk flour and milk into broth on stove. Stir well.
• Add biscuits to top of stew. Cover and continue cooking on low heat 15 minutes.
• Let stand a few minutes before serving.
• VARIATION: Make homemade or Biquick biscuits instead of canned.

Steps:

• Melt butter in a stock pot over medium-high heat. Add celery, carrot, onion, garlic, bay leaves, thyme, salt, pepper, and poultry seasoning; cook and stir until flavors combine, about 5 minutes. Push vegetable mixture to the sides and add chicken; cook until browned, 3 to 5 minutes per side.
• Pour enough water over the chicken to cover by 3 inches; bring to a boil. Stir, scraping the browned bits off of the bottom of the pot. Reduce heat; simmer until chicken is tender, about 1 hour. Transfer chicken and carrots to a serving plate with a large slotted spoon; let cool.
• Ladle 1/4 cup cooking liquid into a bowl; cool slightly, about 5 minutes. Mix in 2 tablespoons flour. Stir back into the pot.
• Place 2 cups flour in a large bowl; cut in shortening with 2 knives until mixture forms pea-sized bits. Mix in chilled chicken broth until dough is combined.
• Turn dough out onto a floured work surface. Knead 5 to 6 times; pat down to 1-inch thickness. Sprinkle lightly with flour; roll out to about 1/8-inch thickness. Cut dough into squares with a sharp knife.
• Drop squares, in batches, into simmering cooking liquid, moving squares to the side with each addition. Partially cover pot; simmer until dumplings are firm, about 12 minutes. Separate any dumplings that stick together. Remove from heat; keep covered.
• Bone chicken; cut into bite-sized pieces and return to the pot. Chop carrot; return to the pot. Cool chicken and dumplings, about 30 minutes, before serving.

Steps:

• Bring broth and water to a boil in large pot. Add onion, celery, carrots, salt and pepper. (Remember you have a lot of broth to flavor).
• Add chicken. Cover and simmer over medium heat for about 1 1/2 hours.
• Remove chicken to slightly cool.
• Turn heat on high.
• During this time rip each biscuit into 3 pieces, add to pot coating each piece with broth.
• Cover, cook for about 7 minutes.
• Remove lid, gently flip or stir dumplings to cook other side.
• Cover for 7-10 minutes until dumplings seem sturdy.
• Taste gravy, salt and pepper to taste.
• Remove skin from chicken, and rip from bone into chunks.
• Add chicken back to pot, simmer on low for about 5-10 minutes.
• The dumplings will look like a large amount, but they will shrink as they cook.
• Also, they will float and cover the entire pot, so don't worry!
• Enjoy, they are delicious!
