SKILLET CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• Combine the cornmeal, paprika and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Cut each biscuit dough round into quarters. Toss to coat with the cornmeal mixture. Set aside.
• Melt the butter in a large skillet with a lid over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook uncovered, stirring often, until slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with the flour and stir to coat the onions. Slowly stir in the chicken broth 1 cup at a time. Add 2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a strong simmer and stir in the chicken, celery and carrot.
• Put the biscuit pieces on top of the chicken mixture, cover with the lid and cook until the biscuit dough is cooked through, light and fluffy, about 25 minutes. Sprinkle with the parsley before serving.

MOMMA'S BEST CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS

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.

30-MINUTE SHORTCUT CHICKEN AND DUMPLING RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:

• In heavy bottomed Dutch oven or large wide pot, over medium heat, add chicken broth, water, butter and all seasonings. Cover and bring to a boil. Meanwhile, cut chicken breast into bite sized pieces. Add to soup mixture. Stir to combine and cover. In a sealable container combine flour and milk. Seal tightly and shake vigorously to combine well. You will create a smooth flour mixture for thickening your sauce called a slurry. Slowly pour the slurry into broth, stirring constantly. Add frozen vegetables. Cover. Combine dumpling ingredients in a medium bowl. Mix well with a fork. Remove cover from stew and stir well. Drop dumplings into stew one tablespoon at a time, use a 1 tablespoon scoop to make it even easier. Reduce heat to simmer, cover and cook for 10 minutes. Serve and enjoy!

Steps:

• Remove chicken meat and cut into small pieces or shred.
• In a large pot, heat the chicken broth to boiling and add the chicken meat.
• Meanwhile mix the Bisquick with the milk (the dough will be wet and sticky).
• Add large spoonfuls of dough to the boiling soup. I usually make about nine dumplings and keep them on the surface of the soup and along perimeter of the pot. If they are in the middle, they don't seem to cook properly.
• Cook uncovered for 10 minutes, turning heat to low after a couple minutes.
• Cook covered another 10 minutes on low.

SHORTCUT CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• First, pick all of the usable meat off of the rotisserie chicken. You could use leftover chicken or anything else you have as well to make this a "round 2 recipe". Put the chicken in a bowl to the side.
• Chop your tortillas into strips approximately 1 inch wide. You can use any size tortillas for this, just depending on if you want more or less dumpling in your chicken and dumplings.
• Ok, in a large stew pot over medium heat, dump your broth, cream of chicken, and cream of mushroom soups, and whisk all together. I usually add about a can or two or water as well, just fill the empty cans of cream soup. You'll be adding a thickener later so keep this in mind, depending on how thick you like your liquid to be.
• In a mug or bowl, microwave and melt your stick of butter, and then add your flour to make a rue base. You will want to add flour until there is a paste type consistency. Once the rue is mixed together, add to your heating stew pot, and whisk in until blended.
• Now that you have all of your liquid base heating, wait until simmering and add your chicken and tortilla strips. You can stir more than average dumplings as the tortilla strips hold up well and don't break easily.
• Let all this simmer together until your dumplings are tender and your liquid thickens a little, making sure to give your flour from the rue time to cook off that flour flavor. If needed, make more rue as described in step 4, and add more rue to thicken your liquid some.
