Nannys Chicken And Dumplings Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Put 2 glugs of olive oil in the IP, set to saute. Allow to heat and add a few chicken pieces at a time to brown slightly. Remove to a side dish/bowl. Shut off IP
• 2. Add chicken broth and scrape the fonds off the bottom. Add in chicken pieces (big ones on the bottom). Cover with enough water to cover the chicken. Add spices/herbs and stir.
• 3. Set IP for 30 minutes pressure. Natural release, remove chicken pieces with a slotted spoon to a bowl. Allow to cool enough to debone.
• 4. Taste the broth in the IP after removing chicken. Add more spices/herbs if you need to (you won't). Add 1 stick of butter to the broth and enough water to make a good cooking broth for the dumplings to cook.
• 5. See the recipe for Nanny's Dumplings to complete this dish. I cook the dumplings in the broth FIRST....then add in the cooked chicken after. We like it more soupy.....my mother always served this over mashed potatoes. Nanny's Dumplings: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/main-course/chicken/nannys-dumplings.html

Steps:

• Knead to make a tough dough. (Like really tough)
• Roll out VERY thin. Cut into long strips. Pinch off bite-sized pieces into your hot, bubbly chicken broth/stock. (Yes, you cooked your chicken already and it was happily deboned and cut into nice chunks) and is waiting patiently to be added back in the broth.
• Cook until done (the longer they simmer, the softer the dumpling). Keep taste testing to get the firmnes/softness you prefer. Add in your chicken and serve.

Steps:

• In a shallow bowl, mix 1/2 cup flour, salt and pepper. Add chicken, 1 piece at a time, and toss to coat; shake off excess. In a 6-qt. stockpot, heat oil over medium-high heat. Brown chicken in batches on all sides; remove from pan., Add onion, carrots and celery to same pan; cook and stir 6-8 minutes or until onion is tender. Add garlic; cook and stir 1 minute longer. Stir in 1/4 cup flour until blended. Gradually add stock, stirring constantly. Stir in wine, sugar, bay leaves and peppercorns. Return chicken to pan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, 20-25 minutes or until chicken juices run clear., For dumplings, in a bowl, whisk flour, baking powder and salt. In another bowl, whisk milk and melted butter until blended. Add to flour mixture; stir just until moistened (do not overmix). Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet; set aside., Remove chicken from stockpot; cool slightly. Discard bay leaves and skim fat from soup. Remove skin and bones from chicken and discard. Using 2 forks, coarsely shred meat into 1- to 1-1/2-in. pieces; return to soup. Cook, covered, on high until mixture reaches a simmer., Drop dumplings on top of simmering soup, a few at a time. Reduce heat to low; cook, covered, 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center of dumplings comes out clean (do not lift cover while simmering). Gently stir in cream, parsley and thyme. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.

Steps:

• Dice tenders into bite size pieces and set aside. Wash hands.
• Place a large pot on stove over medium high heat. Add oil, butter, vegetables and bay leaf and cook 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Season mixture with salt, pepper and poultry seasoning. Add flour to the pan and cook 2 minutes. Stir broth or stock to the pot and bring to a boil. Add chicken to the broth and stir.
• Place biscuit mix in a bowl. Combine with 1/2 cup warm water and parsley. Drop tablespoonfuls of prepared mix into the pot, spacing dumplings evenly. Cover pot tightly and reduce heat to medium low. Steam dumplings 8 to 10 minutes. Remove cover and stir chicken and dumplings to thicken sauce a bit. Stir peas into the pan, remove chicken and dumplings from heat and serve in shallow bowls.

Steps:

• Boil broth, chicken, margarine. Add seasoning to taste. Turn the heat down before adding the noodle dumplings.
• For dumplings: Mix flour, baking powder, and salt together. Beat egg before adding to mix. Add milk and water. Dough will be sticky. On floured surface place dough and knead. Pinch off dough and roll out flat and cut into 1 inch strips. The strips can be long or short. Let them dry slightly before adding to soup. If soup is too thick after adding dumplings, heat 1/2 cup of milk in microwave and slowly add to soup until thin.

Steps:

• Rinse the hen with cold water, then put into a large pot with the bay leaf and cover with cold water. Let cook over medium heat until it's tender, about 40-45 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside in a bowl-to cool. When it is cool, skin (throw away)and remove chicken from bones, then chop into bite size pieces.
• Skim the fat off the cooking broth, then strain the broth(I use cheesecloth)then return the broth to the pan. Then add the butter and heat/stir till it melts.
• take 1/2 cup of the broth from the pot and add 2 ice cubes to cool. Put flour in a bowl and pour in the cooled broth. Mix well with a fork (Mamma used her fingertips and so do I) to form a dough, add a little more flour if the dough is too wet. Roll out the dough, on a floured board, just a little bit thinner than pie crust. Cut into strips and then into 1 inch pieces
• Bring the broth to a boil, then drop the pieces of dough. DO NOT STIR, the boiling will stir the dumplings. WHen all dumplins are in pot, shake the pot, then sprinkle the chicken pieces on top, reduce the heat to low, place lid on top of pot and do not bother for 10 minutes!

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.
• Repeat with all biscuits. Then take a knife and slice the circles into one inch strips.
• Bring pot back to a low boil. Pick up each strip and pull into 1 1/2 to 2 inch pieces and drop into broth on low boil.
• Stir gently to prevent them sticking together.
• Simmer for ten minutes.

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.
