One of my favorite comforting meals is a bowl of homemade chicken and dumplings. Incredibly easy to make and ready in a breeze. You can easily make this chicken and dumpling from scratch using just six ingredients. I love making these dumplings using floured tortillas. Cut them using a pizza cutter and make sure to drop them one piece at a time. You can even make them a day ahead and just keep them in the fridge. To serve, slowly heat with extra broth.
My family loves this dish. This has been one of the most requested at home. A staple for many years. If you have not tried this easy homemade chicken and dumplings recipe, you are already missing out! So make sure to give this a go soon.
Ingredients
2 tablespoons butter
about 3 c. cooked chicken
2 c. flour
6-8 c. chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
about a c. of milk or maybe a bit less
salt to taste
How to make Homemade Chicken and Dumplings
Step 1: Place the flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Mix well until combined. Using a fork or pastry blender, cut the butter. Then, add the milk, whisking using a fork until the dough forms a ball.
Step 2: On a heavily floured work surface, roll the dough using a rolling spin. In flour, dip the cutter and cut the dumplings to about 2 x 2-inch squares.
Step 3: On a heavily floured plate, place the dumplings using. If not cooking right away, layer the dumplings on a cookie sheet with wax paper in between and with loads of flour. Freeze, then transfer to a Ziploc bag.
Step 4: If cooking right away, first bring the broth to a boil. One piece at a time, drop the dumplings. Make sure to stir while adding them to the broth. Cook the dumplings for about 15 to 20 minutes. Then, add the cooked chicken.
Step 5: Serve immediately. Enjoy!
