Chicken And Dumplings
It’s one of those stick to your ribs, down home, country cooking meals. I made these last week when my son’s friends were visiting, and they’d never had dumplings! Say what?!? They loved them! I remember being little, standing on a step stool, cutting them out while mom put them in the broth. They tasted amazing then and still do now!

Ingredients
- 5-6 pound whole chicken
- 8 cups regular or low-sodium chicken broth
- 1-2 cups water
- 1-2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon flaky poultry seasoning optional
- 2 cups self-rising flour
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup salted butter
- 1 cup milk
- ¼ cup cornmeal optional
Instructions
- To a large stockpot on medium-high heat, add chicken, broth, water, and seasonings. Add enough water to nearly cover the chicken. Bring to a boil, then lower the temperature to medium-low. Cover and simmer 1 hour.
- Carefully transfer the cooked chicken to a bowl.
- For the dumplings, in a bowl, whisk together the flours.
- Grate butter into the flour and toss until coated. Make a well in the center and add milk. Fold the ingredients until it forms a cohesive dough ball. If it seems too dry and won’t combine, add additional milk.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface. Roll to an ¼ inch thickness. Using a butter knife or pizza cutter, cut into approximate 1”x1” squares. Optional step, sprinkle cornmeal on top of the dough and gently pat.
- Bring the broth back to a boil. Drop the dumplings in one-by-one. Once they’ve all been added, bring the mixture back to a boil. Lower the heat to low and simmer until the dumplings have cooked and the mixture has thickened, about 10 minutes.
- Pull apart the chicken, and add your desired amount to the pot. Add additional salt and pepper to taste.
