Chicken and Dumplings - Cozy chicken recipe with the best, fluffy dumplings!


Hello,

Last year, on a cold night, our friend Richard made us chicken and dumplings inspired by his childhood and grandmother. We loved them! The dumplings were melt-in-your-mouth tender and so unbelievably fluffy. We immediately asked if he could share the recipe with us, and here we are. I’m so excited to share this recipe with you (and thank you to Richard for sharing it with us).

You can break this cozy classic chicken and dumplings recipe into three easy steps. We love starting with a whole chicken and making the broth from scratch (it only takes an hour). If you are short on time, I have included a speedier option using store-bought broth in the recipe.

Our recipe has Southern-style chicken dumplings (similar to drop biscuits). We make a somewhat wet dumpling batter and then drop it by the spoonful into simmering broth. The dumplings then steam on top of the broth to cook (about 15 minutes).
