My mom was an amazing cook. We lost her in April. I have some of her recipes written down in her hand but she was a cook that just cooked from muscle memory. Chicken and dumplings was one of those recipes. I’ve been looking for one close enough to hers. This was it! I cried when I tasted them. Thank you!

[@jonescity]

Im sorry about your mom.

[@coomr419]

I'm sorry man😢

[@sarahwisner5941]

Aww. So sorry

[@bunkyman8097]

I am sorry for your loss. Losing your mom is tough... I am 65 and ever since I was a kid I enjoyed cooking with my mom and my grandmother. they were both great cooks. I always said my mom could make soup out of an old shoe and you would love it! The aromas and our inevitable laughter that filled the kitchen are the things I remember the most. And of course, the tastes. They are both gone now but when I cook I ask them to guide my hands and put their "mojo" into the pot. Its amazing how tastes and smells transport you because for just a moment, I close my eyes and we are all at the supper table enjoying A great meal and laughing our heads off once again! I wish you and your family Peace, health and joy...

[@deborahkirkpatrick5149]

My mother, aunts and grandmother made this dish. My grandmother would use left over frozen chicken backs after the good parts were cut away. She would roll the dough out with a R C cola bottle using lard, and would add mushrooms more flavor and meat texture. The meal fed my grandmother's nine children her and grandad. True comfront food and filling.

[@pamelamayeaux7458]

R C cola bottle, wow, wish I still had one of those. That's old stuff there.

I have been watching several videos of people making Chicken and Dumplings today. Yours is the one I want to make. They really look delicious.

[@philasupv]

This was perfect timing because my nephew told my niece, his mother, that he wanted some chicken and dumplings. Well she can't cook them because she's never had too. I sent this video to her because you cook them like me. Thanks...mmmm good....

Amazing chicken and dumplings 🥟 comfort food 🥘 Chef Jeffrey! That knock on your door 🚪 had me cracking up 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@carriemartinez2933]

My Mama passed last June, and she made the BEST chicken and dumplins. I was wanting comfort food, but I couldn't find her recipe, and was watching this for inspo! I just found her recipe, and it is almost identical to yours, so I'm going to make me a big bowl of comfort, and love, and go over fond memories of Mama in my mind!!! Thank you so much for what you do, I was a bit frantic looking for her recipe, but your voice helped calm me down!!!

[@rachelfrees1268]

My very favorite meal also. My granddaughter makes them for me on birthday, Xmas etc. Best present an 81 year old gal can receive. You are blessed to have a mom like yours and she is doubly blessed to have you. God bless both of you forever.❤️

Chef, it's January 2023 and I'm in rainy Northern California. I just put my chicken stock on the stove, and I can not WAIT to finish this wonderful dumpling recipe. I just wanted to say THANK YOU for these wonderful recipes, and your wonderful spirit of GIVING (everything from sharing your meals with neighbors, to sharing your special secrets to take our dishes to another level, like butterscotch for yams....YUM!!!) Thanks again, and have a Blessed, healthy, and prosperous 2023!

Love this recipe, never made homemade dumplings, always used butter can biscuits will try.Thanks for the Tutorial

One of my favorites!!! Yum! Yum! 😊 ,👍 Makes my mouth drool!!🤤

[@redpassion1313]

My mother was an excellent cook. Raised in the country, but she never made chicken and dumplings for us. I was 18 years old before I ever had any. The lady that prepared them was from Baxley, GA. Those dumplings were tender and fabulous. I asked my mom if she could make them and she said of course. She still never made them. I tried making them once, but the recipe I used was for drop biscuits. I didn't care for that. Your dish looks just like the lady from GA. I'm going to definitely try this again. It's been 40 years since I had good dumplings.

[@TaylorsFSCooking]

What a great Sunday meal after church service. Looks awesome chef.

[@joburrow9863]

I thought I was the only one who just wanted the dumplings and not the chicken. Your mama is right. Wish I could meet her. Bet she is the best cook. My mom was too. She surely taught you well.

[@wespeakforthetrees]

BTY I'm an old white guy living now in Oklahoma. I grew up in southern Illinois. We were dirt poor. Mom was not a great cook, the meals were simple, basic, cheap meat, stuff from the garden. But all these fancy flavors and styles of cooking weren't a thing when I was growing up. Now I watch a ton of cooking videos and try cooking many different things. I am learning how to use fresh herbs and spices. Trying different things. Life is an adventure and cooking good food is a huge part of that. I love the ideas you share, and the simple, down to earth way you show me how to cook. When you explain it, I understand it. Again thanks.

Now you got me craving chicken and dumplings! I make them pretty much like yours. My Great Aunt Linnie was the chicken and dumplings Queen, and she taught me. Her secret was to let the noodles dry out for an hour or so after you roll them out. I do that sometimes if I have time. Thank you for a great video!

I followed the directions for your dumplings. Soooo delicious! I cooked dumplings long ago but I put baking powder in them and they did just as you said. Thank you❣

Chef Jeffery that was classic! I've loved chicken and dumplings since the early 1960s when my grandfather used to make them (the only dish he ever cooked for us). He would have the hearts and liver sometimes the gizzards in his. If I have those on hand I add them, but most times I boil off some eggs in the broth and slice those up in mine. GOSH! I'm hungry now...lol
