In reply to Susie. I also put a stick of butter and a can of cream of chicken soup in my dumplings ans like you everybody always raves about them. It took me about 20 dang years to come up with a recipe like this that was so good, my husband ate a lot of crummy dumplings LOL. I also came up with this idea of using butter and cream of chicken soup before this got popular, like to think I invented it.

In reply to Spud craig. I stew the chicken with vegetables to make the stock. Remove everything from the stock and shred the chicken. After the dumplings are added, stir in the chicken. The stock gets creamy from the flour in the dumplings

Thanks for the dumpling lesson but you didn’t say anything about the chicken. Are you boiling it in the stock and how do you get the btoth creamy as in the picture?

In reply to Sandy Pennington.

Sandy,

You have to make sure you’ve got plenty of stock/broth and turn the heat up high so it boils fast. Welcome to Syrup and Biscuits! 🙂

I make chicken and dumplins and I know recipes like yours always say not to stir but how do you keep them from sticking if you don’t stir? I just discover your site on Facebook and I love it. Thank you.

I make chicken and dumplings like yours but adding a stick of butter and a can of cream of chicken soup to the recipe. Absolutely delicious. There are no leftovers and when I take to a get-together, I’m always getting compliments.

Vicki,

What a delightful story! You are so sweet to share with us. Once you get your Chicken and Dumpling method perfected, you have to stick with it! 🙂

It has taken me 20+ years to perfect my dumpling recipe. My mother passed down her recipe of flour, eggs, salt, pepper and broth (instead of water). Then they are dropped one by one into boiling chicken broth. At a family reunion a few years back, my mom and I both made chicken and dumplings for about 50 people. My uncle raved about mine. That was the exact moment that I actually felt like a grown up at the family reunion, nevermind the fact that I was a little over 40! 🙂

In reply to Mary. My Granny add boiled eggs, too. I add them every now and again. I also add boiled eggs to my giblet gravy like she taught me. :)

In reply to Jackie Garvin. Love Chicken and Dumplings and make them often. My Grandmother added chopped boiled eggs...the egg yolks add a little something extra.

In reply to Darlene.

Darlene,

I hope my method works our for you. The key is making sure you have good, flavorful chicken stock, bringing it to a rapid boil and dropping the dumplings into the eye of the boil. The dumplings will absorb the flavor of the stock as they cook. Please let me know how they turn out. 🙂

I recently (this past Tuesday) made my recipe of c & d’s. The d’s have absolutely no flavor. I will try yours next time. Mine are the drop by the tablespoon kind.

Oh Jackie…thank you for finally giving me an easy, delicious recipe to make chicken and dumplings! And every Sunday dinner at Me-Maw’s house was her mouth-watering (huge) pot of her family-famous chicken and dumplings. It never dawned on me to use Bisquick which I keep on the shelf anyway. I’m going to make a big pot of them right now and then call the family to come running, lol.
