Quick Southern Chicken And Dumplings Recipe 55

SOUTHERN STYLE CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• Heat a large dutch oven pot over medium high heat. Add in olive oil and heat through, 1 minute. Add onion and saute 5 minutes, or until onions are soft and translucent. Stir in garlic and cook 1 minute more.
• Add in chicken breasts and season with salt and pepper. Pour in chicken broth. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium low, and simmer 15 to 20 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and easily shreds with a fork.
• Meanwhile, make the dumpling dough. Mix flour, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl. Cut in the cold shortening using a pastry cutter or food processor. Gradually pour in the buttermilk, stirring until the dough comes together. Turn the dough out on a floured surface and work it just until everything is well combined. The dough should not be sticky. Roll the dough out about 1/4-inch thick. Cut into 1 inch strips. Cut each of those strips into pieces that are approximately 2 inches in length.
• Remove chicken from soup pot and shred. Add in milk and bring to a simmer. Drop dumplings strips into soup and simmer 15-20 minutes until cooked through.
• In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and water. Pour into soup pot, stir, and return to a simmer. Simmer 2-3 minutes until broth is thickened. Return chicken to soup pot and serve hot.

SOUTHERN CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Stir in the onion, and cook until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Place the chicken breasts into the pot, skin-side-down. Pour in the chicken broth, and enough water to just cover the breasts. Bring to a simmer over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the chicken begins to fall off the bone, about 1 hour. Once cooked, remove the chicken breasts from the pot. Remove and discard the skin and bone; allow the meat to cool, then tear apart into bite sized chunks.
• While the chicken breast are simmering, prepare the dumpling dough by whisking the flour, baking powder, and 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt together in a mixing bowl. Work the vegetable shortening in with your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse cornmeal. Make a well in the middle and pour in the milk. Stir together until a stiff dough forms. Turn out onto a floured surface, and knead until smooth. Form the dough into 12 pieces, and set aside.
• After you've shredded the chicken, stir the cream of chicken soup, 2 cups water, salt, pepper, and shredded chicken back into the pot. Return to a simmer over medium-high heat. Drop the dumplings into the simmering broth one at a time to keep them from sticking together. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until the dumplings have puffed and are no longer doughy in the center, 10 to 20 minutes.

Steps:

• In a large stockpot over medium-high heat, melt 1/4 cup butter and lightly saute the onions and garlic, about 3 minutes. Add the chicken, water, and stock, making sure liquid covers meat. Tie the thyme sprigs, parsley stems, and sage sprigs together and add to the pot along with the peppercorns, and celery. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer the chicken until it is "fall of the bone" tender, about 30 minutes, skimming off scum as it simmers. Remove the chicken from the pot to a cutting board and let cool. Remove the herb bundle and the celery and discard. Reserve the stock. When the chicken is cool enough to handle, pull it from bones and cut into bite-sized pieces.
• In a large bowl, mix together 2 cups of flour with the remaining chopped herbs and the tablespoon of salt. Make a well in the middle and pour 1 cup of the reserved chicken stock, including fat, into the well. Using a fork, slowly stir the stock into the flour. Repeat, adding more flour and/or stock until a soft, doughy consistency is reached. Add more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, if it gets too sticky. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to 1/8 to 1/4-inch thickness. Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to slice the dough into 2-inch squares, then cut the squares in half on the diagonal into triangles.
• Return the stock to a simmer and slowly add the dumplings, allowing some excess flour to remain on the dumplings to increase the body of the broth. Be careful not to let the dumplings touch as they are added to the pot. Cook until the dumplings rise to the surface. If the broth does not thicken to your liking, mix together 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon flour in a small bowl with a fork. Slowly add the mixture into the broth to help thicken the soup. Stir in the reserved chicken and ladle into serving bowls.

Steps:

• Place the chicken into a large pot. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Add the onion, carrot and celery. Simmer slowly until tender, about 2 ½ to 3 hours. Remove the chicken and debone, then chop into small strands. Set aside. Save ½ cup of chicken broth and let cool. With an immersion blender, puree all the vegetables until they are liquid form. (If you don't have an immersion blender, you can strain and save the broth by separating the vegetables into a sieve or colander, then put the vegetables into a regular blender and puree. Put them and the broth back into the pot you cooked the chicken in.) Season the remaining broth with butter and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil and cook the dumplings.
• Dumplings:.
• In a mixing bowl, cut the shortening into the flour and stir in the cooled broth, cover and let stand about 30 minutes. Roll out as thin as possible on a floured pastry cloth. Cut into strips or small squares. Drop layers of dumplings into the boiling broth and let the broth boil over each layer before adding another layer. Do not stir. Cover and cook for 12 minutes. Carefully add chicken which has been deboned and chopped.
