You gotta good chicken n dumplings recipe???

When we lived over sea this lady from Georgia had THEE BEST chicken n dumplings.

But every recipe I try doesn't add up.

I got my boiler fryer thawing now.

Hit me with a recipe!!

Sorry I was mixing up a batch of essential oil blends

ANYWAY

I just make mine like - throwing stuff in a pot

what kinda dumplings do you like the fluff kind of the heavy noodle kind ?

Okay and this is so weird cuz last night on the drive home with my dad from a soccer game, we were talking about this exact thing

I only use breast meat in mine and I make the stock from scratch

for the hearty type dumplings I make up a batch of dough like I am going to make biscuts- then i roll it flatter and cut it into strips and then square that up into dumbling size

Mach said:

Yup, those are the kind of dumpling I like and that I usually make.

How do I do the stock??

I don't have any bullion cubes.

Do I have to go get some?

Mach said:

dead on, mach ...my granny made the best chicken and dumplings ever...she used biscuit dough also but made hers into clumps rather than flatten 'em out...

Lot #29.

TotalANXiousNESS said:

do you have any premade chicken broth ?

and - you can make your broth by boiling your chicken - let water cool sorta - skim off ick that comes to top and BAM you have broth add some salt and pepper

if you want creamier base then add some cream or milk or even cream of chicken soup( or mushroom, celery - whatever "cream of " soup you like )

roodboi said:

Mmm Hmmm that too

and some people like their dumplings even lighter so they use like a Bisquick mix

I make killer C&D

Mach said:

I normally do, but not now.

I do like it creamier.

I have cream of chicken.

So should I add that in then?

I dont think Ive ever eaten dumplings. Are they tasty?

JDInteractive said:

Tasty isn't the word I would use....but their fricken awesome!

They're just cooked dough.

Not really helpful with my new weight problem either.

TotalANXiousNESS said:

AFTER you make and strain your stock broth

do you add anything else - celery, oninions or anything ?

Mach said:

Celery and potatoes.

JDInteractive said:

some I have had some that were just awesome and some that were ick - like any food I guess

depends on what you like and how they are prepared

heybaby said:

I shit you not, I ate almost the whole pot myself.

If I was fat before I'm a fuckin heffer now!

My mom makes the best..everything from scratch uses pretty much the whole chicken. She is from the north and it is the best Chicken and Dumplings I have ever had..EVER!
Too hot here to think about food that heavy right now though.

TotalANXiousNESS said:

Mach said:

TotalANXiousNESS said:

evrybody needs something to be proud of!!!

roodboi said:

No. I swear to God.

This morning my husband is like....wheres my lunch for today?

Wait till he gets to work and sees, that its basically a container of chicken. Cause I ate all the potatoes and dumplings out of it.

.....I left him some carrots too.

TotalANXiousNESS said:

you're a bad wife....

roodboi said:

Shut up!

I'm making him his favorite today.

Stuffed Pepper.

He's the one that is constantly bitching at me to stop making him fat anyway.

TotalANXiousNESS said:

well, you took care of most of the carbs in the chicken and dumplings, so he can now enjoy those worry free..

stuffed peppers?? ewww...

roodboi said:

I don't like em either.

He's Polish/Italian...

Yup.....I ate all the carbs.

TotalANXiousNESS said:

if you start jogging from now until the kids get outta school, you can work off like almost half of those carbs....so get motivated....


I'm thinking of having a honey bun, want some??

roodboi said:

No!

I'm off to meet the rest of the soccer moms.
