Time 1h5m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 whole chicken
1 (8 ounce) package frozen dumplings (not sure how many oz it is but it's the regular package)
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
salt and pepper (to taste)
1 (14 ounce) can chicken broth (may or may not need)

Steps:

  • Cook whole chicken in large pot full of water until done. Remove chicken from pot and debone. Save broth from chicken and add soup. Return broth and soup to a boil, then add frozen dumplings. We use Mary B's open Kettle dumplings. They are often found in the frozen food section near the other frozen breads. We use two packages of dumplings and often have to add more broth because of it. Just watch and add as desired for your preference of thickness. Boil as directed on package (I think it's 45 minutes) then add chicken back. Cook just long enough to warm chicken back up. Be careful because once chicken is added dumplings will easily stick.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh, organic chicken and vegetables will make a big difference in the flavor of your soup.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot. If you add too much chicken or vegetables, the soup will be watery and bland.
  • Simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to your liking.
  • Serve the soup with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, and crusty bread.

Conclusion:

Chicken and dumplings is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and always a hit. This recipe is a great starting point, but feel free to experiment with different ingredients and flavors to create your own unique version of this classic dish.
