My Mom always had a second pot of Bullion going to steam a pot full of Dumplings, so we could have many dumplings as we could eat.

As a southerner from eastern Kentucky, I was a bit hesitant when I started this video. This isn’t really how we make them, but that doesn’t mean it’s bad! I think this looks delicious! And tbf, you never claim that this is the definitive southern way. It’s just your way, and I respect that. 🔥

[@patriciacrane548]

My family is from Alabama n I was thinking the same thing as you. They are nothing like how my Mama used to make them but they do look very tasty. 😋

[@theresamc8515]

E. Ky native here also. Lived in SC and NC and they called this chicken and dumplings. But I met an elderly lady in SC that said this style was originally called chicken stew with dumplings. I like drop dumplings without the veggies. But flat dumplings with the veggie version is good and can be stretched to feed a crowd economically.

[@elissafanzo1124]

Yeah. Some people call these northern dumplings. Being a New Yorker, this is the type of dumplings I grew up on.

[@margotjones7168]

As a suburban Louisville, Kentucky native, this is exactly how my mother made chicken and dumplings.

[@kristinaandthegerman4554]

Tennessean here. Looks yummy regardless if it a northern or southern version.

[@chickade4eva]

Preface: I am a full blooded southerner. Now you know. My husband loves to watch sip and feast and when he saw this recipe, begged me to make it. I was dubious to say the least. I made it tonight and I must say, this was damn good. The dumplings were the perfect texture and the sour cream really gave them an excellent flavor. The soup was delish. I did add extra onion but were an onion loving family. Honestly 9.5/10.

[@lisastephens77]

Southern old lady here. We were born with chicken and dumplings in our veins. Suggestions: if you coat your chicken with flour, you won't need that much flour to thicken your broth. Between it and the dumplings, there's more than enough flour to thicken the broth. Personally, I prefer buttermilk when making my dumplings/biscuits and butter not melted. No peas either.

[@margotjones7168]

I love how everyone's tastes are so different! The peas are my favorite part. I actually wait 'til almost the end of cooking to add the peas because I like them still bright green! A friend of mine, however, hates peas; calls them "little dirt balls" 😆

[@cherylschwarz3950]

I with you on NO PEAS....unfortunately, my husband loves them in Chicken and Dumplings LOL.

[@crystalrowan]

Oh I love some peas in my chicken and dumplings! Funnily enough, when I was a kid I used to beg mom to not put the peas in because I didn't like them when I was younger, but now they seem crucial (something about that nice pop adds a textural dimension to the soup that I miss when it's not there).

[@originalhgc]

I'm from N.C. and grew up eating chicken & dumplings. They used to serve it those cafeteria restaurants that are now a distant memory. It was usually the thick rolled pasta style dumplings, rather than the floating clouds, which are superior. Anyway, it's sweet, sweet comfort food. I like to make it this time of year. Your recipe for the seasonings in the dumplings is something I will adopt right away.

[@chiefbein]

At the start of covid is when I started finding bone shards in the boneless/skinless chicken thighs and still find them today. Great looking recipe and will try it out with the family next week. Thanks for the fantastic content.

[@amberwaves2223]

Not only bone shards in chicken, but little pieces of bone are in ready to cook meatballs. I hate when that happens😕

[@awankstain]

That´s so true even in France I´ve noticed the same problem and I mentioned it to the butchers last week again -how weird.

[@amberwaves2223]

[@jordanwolfe597]

I knew exactly what he was talking about when he said that! I've found tiny bones for a while and three days ago, found an 1.5-inch bone in boneless skinless chicken breasts. Those were Springer Mountain Farms brand, but I've found smaller pieces in Bell & Evans, too.

[@larryjenkins1256]

I just want to thank you for all of the hard work you put into your videos and recipes. Unlike a lot of chefs who complicate recipes, yours are uncomplicated and look delicious.

Chicken and dumplings is one of my most favorite meals, but I'm embarrassed to say I've only ever made drop dumplings using Bisquick. I am so excited to try your version, including the homemade dumplings. Looks absolutely delicious!

[@crystalrowan]

That's how my mom made them and we're from the south - I never liked the rolled pasta versions. Drop dumplings for the win!

[@donkemp8151]

Bypass the Bisquick and go straight to refrigerator biscuits - butter flavor. Roll flat. Cut in smaller pieces. Coat in seasoned flour. Drop.

[@couchpoet1]

Some of us like to control our ingredients, it’s not always best to be convenient.

[@bustedkeaton]

​@donkemp8151 why coat them in flour if theyre going straight into stock? Itd just rinse off.

[@donkemp8151]

@ it thickens the soup and keeps them from sticking together.

[@jgalc]

Im from massachusetts and my grandma used to make this all the time when I was a kid. I can’t wait to try this

I heartily agree. Living in the South there are only drop biscuits. This is what I had when growing up in MA.

This recipe was fantastic. We viewed the video today and I made this tonight. WOW. My wife and I both said, this isn’t the chicken and dumplings we had when growing up in the south. It was better as it was like a soup and not watery chicken with gummy dumplings. Thank you. ❤

I’m glad to see I’m not the only one craving chicken and dumplings. For the cookbook, I suggest buth measurements. Recipes are only guidelines or suggestions to me. I may follow a recipe when I’m trying something totally new and different, otherwise I like to make everything my own. The only problem is reproducing some of the things I make 😊

AMAZING! I made this over two nights. Night one was the soup and then last night I brought it back to the simmer and made the dumplings. It is great. Better than the comfort food that my own mom made many years ago. These dumplings are perfection.

[@amyk6659]

Looks great! The one change I would suggest if you want authentic Southern dumplings is to make a slightly stiffer dough, roll it out into a rectangle about 1/8 inch thick, and cut it into strips about 1-inch wide and 2 inches long. That's how my Mama always made them. But these look great, too. Peace! ❤

[@kimfoschini2774]

I love that you ask your sons opinion on the food. Our kids are ultimately who we're trying to make food for that they enjoy. My son is 39 years old and I still work hard at making what he enjoys. And our kids will be painfully honest. That's what I'm looking for.

This is a lifelong favorite winter dish for me. I really like your dumpling recipe and I'm looking forward to trying it. Please do keep with the gram weights. I live on the West Coast and bake a lot. I've moved completely over to weighing my ingredients.

[@Nikua13]

Love this! In Alabama that is not our standard chicken and dumpling. My mom is from Maryland, and that is how she always had them. It is a treat! Comfort, warm, filling. Perfection on a cold evening! May God bless and keep you all!

[@clsanchez77]

Shoutout to the neighbor walking by the window! I am loving the background music, volume was 🤩 Chicken and dumplings is the most nostalgic meal to me. My mom and dad would cook thus at least once a month when I was little and learned this recipe simply from watching them. Sadly my mom died when I was only 7. 40 years later and this is still a favorite. I like it better than gumbo and I live in New Orleans!

[@natashafrance717]

Love the blanket/shirt coordination almost as much as this recipe, thanks James ….p.s. as a London girl, most my family and friends just say it like ‘woo-stir sauce’, much easier and definitely acceptable 👍

[@lindaabernathy4876]

I live in the South and I make "slick" dumplings...try those sometimes. You roll out the dough and cut it in strips.There's no levening in the dough. I mix hot, homemade chicken stock into the all purpose flour until it is the right consistency to roll and then drop the strips, one by one into the remaiing por of chicken stock. You can use vegetables in the stock if you wish,...I usually don't, but it would be good. Just don't crowd the pot too much.

[@CranialAccess]

New subscriber here from upstate NY. My love of 46 years made this for Sunday dinner. Absolutely delicious!

[@senzubean31]

I have a similar recipe that I took out of my grandmother's recipe book when she died. Turns out it belonged to her mother's grandmother. So it goes back to my 3x-grandmother in England. Amazing what they could do in the 19th century with such simple ingredients.

[@jbjacobs9514]

Love the dish and the video, as always. One note (don't mean to be that person): chicken and dumplings WAY predate the South. They were pervasive in Germany in 1820 (nearly 20 years before the South), but also in Eastern Europe before that and it actually is a Russian and Jewish dish that goes WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY back before then. 🙂

[@donnag7066]

Looks delish. Can’t wait to try. So happy you are doing a cookbook 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@larrycanepa]

This is identical to how my Mom made chicken and dumplings for us when I was a kid, with one addition; she added diced potatoes as well. This brought back so many memories! I can't wait to make it for my family.

[@yafitschtink5512]

I've been watching many of these videos for more than a year. Great recipes, excellent insights an tips, totally genuine and practical. Lovely family. All around wonderful. Thanks so much for sharing your skills and cooking passion.

[@charliedavis8894]

This looks delicious! Out west, our chicken and dumplings doesn't have milk in it, just broth. I roast or boil a whole chicken, refrigerate the broth or strain and refrigerate the drippings overnight. I lift off the fat (schmaltz) the next day to use in the dumplings instead of butter. Sometimes I'll dry fry the chicken in a well seasoned cast iron skillet to get the fat, I never cut it off. At any rate I like these fluffy dumplings better than the flat ones. Sometimes I'll put the pot under the broiler uncovered to brown the tops of the dumplings. I do that with beef stew and fluffy dumplings too, it gives the dumplings a toasty top that is delicious.

[@Spetz83]

I've watched more than a handful of your videos up to this point. I finally pulled the trigger and decided to make this one tonight. This was fantastic. The dumplings are insane. There is so much flavor throughout this entire dish. 10/10 Will make again.

That's good advice about bone fragments. Thanks for the video. I've never made chicken soup with dumplings but will try this.

[@crystalrowan]

I made this recipe after I saw it in the email newsletter. I'm from the south and my mom always made phenomenal chicken and dumplings but I've never attempted it because I was always terrified of ending up with those soggy, submerged dumplings you sometimes get in restaurants. I will say that I should have waited for the video because my dumplings definitely should have cooked longer, lol. I used a smaller cookie scoop, but mine were also still a little stodgy. But they were so tasty, we didn't care, lol. Can't wait to try it again and just exercise some patience to let them get to that perfect stage. But I have to agree with James here: it's a 10/10 recipe for sure. The flavors were so good, it even beats my mom's recipe (but don't tell her I said that).

[@midhudsonmarketing6484]

Best Chicken and Dumplings I've ever seen. Thanks for the video. Looking forward to your cookbook.

[@deniseheins2133]

I can't love this enough. This is very close to my recipe, including the wine. No Worcestershire. I add an egg to my dumpling dough and I use poultry seasoning in my broth. Just a bit, along with the sage. So, I've been eating chicken and dumplings since the 60s. My grandmother had an outdoor kitchen with a wood cooking stove. She would go out to the barn yard and grab a hen and pluck and clean it. The hen would then go into a big pot on top the wood stove in the outdoor kitchen. The absolute best dumplings you'll ever have. No wine 😄 Great tutorial from someone that lives in the Northeast! 😆

My grandmother made Chicken and Dumplings using Bisquick mix, so that's what I used for years. One day, I found I was out of Bisquick so l made my own. My homemade dumplings were even better than ever. I mix flour, baking soda, salt white pepper and sage, cut in a few tablespoons of cold butter, then some buttermilk. It's biscuit batter, really. 😋

From Texas - Mine has All the same flavors! My mirepoix is only used in the broth, strained out and not in the finished dish. This looks great! I'll have to try it this way with the vegetables served in the dish. I roll out the dumpling dough (much dryer) like an 1/8" thick noodle and let dry for an hour or so, cut with a pizza cutter into 1"x2" strips. Then dropped in and cooked until done and add the cooked chicken. I know ours tastes the same but mine it not as colorful.... My dumplings are much thinner and denser with a little chew... Awesome!

[@Kymberlee_W]

Thank you, it looks amazing. I grew up in South Carolina and loved my Granny's chicken and dumplings. I think I might like yours even better. Oh, just wanted to say that you should probably measure your liquids is Millilitres, not grams (not all liquids weigh the same amount but they DO all measure the same by ml's.). The very best thing about the metric system is that you measure liquid by volume and non-liquids by weight. There are a few exceptions but the only one I might occasionally use is water (because 1 ml = 1 gram). Thanks for the video! love them all. I grew up in the south but I've lived overseas for 20+ years and so I was forced to learn the metric system in a crash course of daily life because our ovens do not have 2 sets of numbers like American speedometres - our cars ONLY have km/hr and our ovens ONLY have Celsius.

We make the dumpling using a sourdough starter, milk, and an wgg. The butter is cold. We roll it out 1/4 inch thick and make 1/2 inch × 1/2 inch dumplings cut with pizza cutter.

I made this last night and it was a hit. Now I have been making this for about 40 years and I just wing it usually and like another subscriber I make bisquick dumplings. So 2 notes: I did 2 batches of dumplings as per usual since my family scarfs them down and I did your dumplings in the pot and a second pot of bisquick dumplings in another pot of just broth.your dumplings one the taste test unanimously. However I make large dumplings, 2 spoon method, probably an 1/8 cup each and cook 10 minutes uncovered then 10 minutes covered like th bisqick directions and they were perfectly cooked. Second, I saved the cream ti stir in before serving so it wouldn't cook on a high simmer for 20 minutes while the dumplings cooked. Yes this recipe is a keeper!

I grew up in the south, so Chicken and Dumplings were definitely on the menu. Back in those days my mom would use a whole chicken, with of course carrots, celery and onion, she didn’t add cream or milk, it was more like chicken soup with homemade biscuits on top. I prefer your version Jim, the creamy version is even more comforting, and James gave it a 10⭐. Definitely will give it a try! Thanks for sharing Jim, James and Tara, great class.👍💕 Note: Regarding enamel cast iron, it’s the best for any kind of stews, but you must always put in your liquid or fat before you turn on the heat, and the heat should never be high. I noticed if I’m not in a hurry even at medium heat you can get beautiful browning, just let it come up to temp before adding whatever you are trying to brown. I’m sure you know this, but just in case😉.
