GRANDMA'S CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS



Grandma's Chicken and Dumplings image

This is one of my family's favorite recipes for chicken and dumplings, handed down to me from my grandmother. And the leftovers taste great, too!

Categories     Soups, Stews and Chili Recipes     Soup Recipes     Chicken Soup Recipes     Chicken and Dumpling Recipes

Time 4h5m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup shortening
1 egg
½ cup milk
1 whole chicken
2 cubes chicken bouillon
2 cups chopped celery
2 cups chopped carrots
1 small onion, chopped
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Mix flour and shortening together in a bowl until it resembles cornmeal.
  • Slightly beat egg and milk together in a separate bowl. Add to flour mixture and stir to form a ball of dough. Place onto a floured surface; knead and roll as thin as possible using a floured rolling pin. Let dough stand for 2 hours.
  • Place chicken into a large pot and add water to just cover. Bring to a boil over high heat and continue to boil until chicken is no longer pink in the center and meat falls off of the bone, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Remove chicken from the pot; strain broth and return to the pot. Add 2 cups water and bouillon. Remove meat from bones and return to broth. Add celery, carrots, and onion. Bring to a boil; continue to boil for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cut dough into strips, approximately 1-inch wide. Tear strips and drop into boiling broth. Continue to boil for 10 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper and serve.

BETTER THAN GRANNY'S AND EASY CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS



Better Than Granny's and Easy Chicken and Dumplings image

When my Granny died, I missed her and her chicken and dumplings, because NO one made them like Granny. I tried several recipes but they were either very complicated or not very good. Then I found this one and even my Yankee husband who doesn't like dumplings tried to hide the leftovers to take to work the next day. We LOVE this recipe. They are actually better than Granny's. Even Mama agrees. (Sorry, Granny!)

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 35m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups rotisserie-cooked chicken (cooked, pulled off bones)
4 (14 ounce) cans chicken broth
2 (10 1/2 ounce) cans cream of celery soup
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1 (10 count) can buttermilk biscuits

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.
