Common Sense About Chicken and Dumplings

Ingredients:

  • Chicken
    Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs for a leaner dish.
  • Dumplings
    Dumplings can be made from scratch using flour, baking powder, and milk, or you can use pre-made dumplings.
  • Vegetables
    Common vegetables added to chicken and dumplings include carrots, celery, and onions.
  • Broth
    Use chicken broth or vegetable broth for a flavorful base.
  • Seasonings
    Salt, pepper, and herbs like thyme or rosemary enhance the flavor.
  • Cooking:

  • Simmer
    Chicken and dumplings are typically simmered in a pot or slow cooker until the chicken is cooked through and the dumplings are fluffy.
  • Don't overcook
    Overcooking the dumplings can make them tough.

  • Tips:
