Love & Best Dishes: Easy Chicken & Dumplings Recipe

[@PaulaDeen]

Do y'all prefer rolled dumplings or drop dumplings? And when you share, please let me know what part of the country you live in!

[@catherinejasin2606]

Oops, should have commented here, lol. My Kentucky grandmother called rolled dumplings 'sliders' and the drop ones dumplings. 🥰 We highly prefer Dumplings. I make them a few times a year. 😁

[@Carolina-nn6ye]

Good morning. I'm the dropped part of country, Connecticut. 😂 have a great day!!

[@staceythompson3922]

I'm in NC and my family always called the drop ones "dumplings" and the rolled out ones "pastry". I prefer the rolled out kind.

[@gwenb4531]

Drop dumplings.

MS girl. I love rolled dumplings.

This looks delicious. I remember the chicken & dumplings my mama used to make. There were NO leftovers in our family of four! Speaking of Food Porn, in 2013, I went through chemotherapy for a tumor that I had. I stayed with my dearest friend who insisted on taking care of me while I underwent chemotherapy and then radiation treatment. While going through the chemo part, I was hooked on the food network. If I was awake, it was on. When I had to sit in that chemo-receiving chair all day, during the treatment days, the food network was on. My friend said that it was Food Porn, since I couldn't eat anything, but could at least watch it. 😂 I would watch Paula's programs, and then pull up the food network on the computer to get those recipes. And now, I'm still watching Paula and collecting her recipes; but no longer taking chemo, which means I CAN make those recipes and Eat that food.

[@glynnramer3862]

I'm a thin rolled dumplin fan. A super easy dumplin cheat is to get a pack of flour tortillas, slice them however big or small you like (I do 3/4" inch squares), toss into a baggie with a cup of flour, bring your broth and chicken to a boil, sprinkle a handful of of tortillas pieces on top, lightly stir, and repeat until they're all in...and boom! Done!

I’m in Texas and grew up with drop dumplings so that’s what I prefer. In fact, I’ve never tried the rolled ones.

[@QueenCityHistory]

I have to say I like drop dumplings are the best. Fluffy like a biscuit.. mmmmm. Grandma was from Texas and that’s how she made it. I think it’s more preference than region

[@debrasedgwick4697]

we are from Maine and my mom and grandmother did the dropped ones. Fluffy on the inside, yummy. The first time I saw a "rolled" dumpling, I thought that they were making wide noodles.

I’m here in east TN. I make the drop buttermilk biscuit type of dumplings. Chicken broth, a can of cream of chicken soup & my drop biscuit dough or I have even thawed frozen biscuits & cut them into quarters & use those.

[@naomisims7230]

Yes! Someone told me recently to use the frozen Pillsbury Southern Butter Biscuits...& I was not disappointed...tasted homemade! I always had a problem with my dumplings dissolving, until I learned NOT to stir them AT ALL after dropping them in...& also NOT to boil...only very gently simmer them. Don't stir them after done either.

[@rhiahlMT]

My grandmother in Mississippi made drop dumplings. The great-grandmother in New Jersey did the same. Saying that, yes I think the 'slippery' dumplings, rolled out, are more common in the south. They also used poultry seasoning. Diabetes killed my dumpling eating though. Maybe someday! Congrats Michael! I'm down over 40 lbs and off diabetes meds. My fasting jump started that plateau in the weight loss area. A little work, goes a long way. 😀

It is soo wonderful when a member of the family helps in the cooking. It’s more enjoyable and turns into family time together. Honestly I like the videos that you make from home better than the ones from the TV. Soo friendly and relaxing. Thank you.

[@rwilson208]

Grandma did the rolled dumplings. Momma used can biscuit dough and cut the biscuits into pieces with scissors and added them to the chicken mixture. They were both really good. Grandma grew up in the early 1900s. My momma was born around the depression so when momma had us in the 1960's she did the can of Pillsbury biscuits which were smaller biscuits back then. No flaky or bigger biscuits with butter were offered back then. I know people who used Bisquick. NOT FOR ME!!! Also if you added small cuts of potatoes and onions you could make a chicken stew or chicken pot pie. Chicken Pot Pie would require a pastry dough or puff pastry. I have been a fan of yours since your first show on the Food Network Channel and I am still a fan.

[@rebeccagreenhill3016]

I've never tried those frozen ones, but they look more like noodles to me. I prefer dropped dumplings. I'm in Kentucky & always thought rolled dumplings were a Northern thing 🤣.

[@lisagialucci2296]

Reames - has a dumpling in the freezer section and they’re dumplings - they make frozen noodles to 💛

[@Joy_Sumpter]

I love both but mainly grew up on drop dumplings. My oldest sister went to culinary school years ago and learned how to make the best drop dumplings I've ever had. She passed away about a year and a half ago and I wish so much I would have gotten her recipe for drop chicken and dumplings. She also made some wonderful rolled dumplings too but her drop dumplings were simply delicious 😂!! I looked all round our town online for frozen dumplings especially the two brands that you mentioned Paula and could not find them. It kept coming up potstickers or frozen Asian foods lol. So I have to make my own after all which I don't mind at all. Btw I'm from Oklahoma Paula. We love our chicken and dumplings especially drop dumplings!

[@dianarossfan]

Thank you for another great video! Here in the UK I’ve always used shredded beef suet, flour, salt and water for my dumplings. Roll into balls and place on top of the stew for bout 20 minutes.

[@misslady1629]

Y’all are so funny together! I’m a southern cook but the older I get, the more I have to look for easier ways of doing things. For my chicken and dumplings or chicken and dressing, I do my chicken overnight in my crockpot. Comes out perfect and ready to go first thing in the morning and you still get that good homemade broth. I’m going to have to try those frozen dumplings.

[@susankando9320]

Rolled dumplings 100%. When I need fast chicken and dumplings I buy (raw) flour tortillas and cut them into strips dust them with flour. I buy a rotisserie chicken chicken stock and everything else 😋 and its a quick yummy meal

[@starthomasYoung]

I’m on keto too! But like having this gem in my pocket!

[@saralindsay3236]

My mom use the drop biscuit in her dumpling and at the end she would add green peas about 1/2 cup to add a little color!! We live in Clemson,South Carolina and both grandmother did the same.

Yup. I am in Missouri and my family (grandma, mom, me, and now some of my kids) make the fluffy biscuit kind. Alton Brown did a show on the different types and that was the first time I had seen the flat noodle like dumplings.

[@monawilliams6180]

My family always made dumplings with can biscuits. My Nanny would always roll them out an pinch them off in her broth, an we are from south Arkansas!! I only love dumplings made out of biscuits. My husband's mother made her dumplings an rolled them out thin as paper. My husband doesn't like my dumplings cause they are too thick for him, so I have to make 2 kinds of dumplings when I make them. They kind I make for him are too thin for me, I just can't eat them. Lol Both families are from the south! So Paula you may be wrong on the Yankee dumplings. Lol

[@KellyBirmingham-ij5qs]

No way in hell do I have time to make my dumplings from scratch. I'm in Mississippi and I simply thaw frozen biscuits, not canned, and drop pieces of them into my pot when ready. No mess, no time and it's EVERY bit as good as made from scratch.

[@shieldedangel6690]

I sympathize with Michael, I am on a low carb diet so I understand the torture! So why I am watching this? Lol. When I reach my goal I plan to treat myself at least on weekends. I grew up on rolled dumplings. I still can't make myself believe the frozen ones are as good, but I'll give it a try. I still prefer to boil a whole chicken, the broth is so much better. I also add a can of cream of chicken soup to give it that much more flavor. But it is nice to know the shortcuts. I put the chicken in a crockpot overnight and by morning it is falling apart. PS, I love the turquoise blouse, that is your color Paula! Love seeing you and Michael cooking together. You two are a sweet couple.

Shoot, my c&d is a 2 day affair. The night before, I fry chicken thighs then put them in the crockpot, add water and turn on low. The next morning, I strain it all, rinse the crockpot and put the broth back in. I sauté my onion, carrot and sometimes celery then add to pot. I pick the chicken off the bones and shred it then bag it. I mix my dumpling dough and put it and chicken in fridge. An hour before dinner I put the broth and veggies in a large pot on the stove, add seasonings, bring it to a boil then add the chicken. Bring to a boil again then drop in my dough by spoonfuls. Fluffy dumplings and chicken made in the PNW. Never had rolled, that's fat noodles to me, not fluffy dumplings.

mine is even quicker. you would have had to clean and dice the carrots, celery and onions, and then a lot of effort sauteeing in butter. Put Swanson chicken cooking stock in big pot, and bring to a high boil and add the Annie's- about a third of a package. Break the dumplings into 4ths, the whole ones are cumbersome to eat. No need to add flour because the starch from the dumplings thicken the mixture. Put in spice called Poultry seasoning- contains sage and thyme. turn heat to medium. While the dumplings are cooking, de-bone the rotisserie chicken. Then put a package of steamfresh mixed vegetables in the microwave- they are colorful and fresh tasting. when the dumplings are done, gently fold in the chicken and veggies and serve soon, do not cook the veggies any more. I eat this about once a week, therefore I cannot dump all that butter in there, and that Better Than Bullion stuff is like pure salt. That small bowl you served would exceed all recommended daily allowances. Eastern NC we call this chicken slick- it's where Annie's is made- says Slick on the package.

Granmama cooked the chicken and homemade strips together- adds chicken flavor to the strips= this is the price you pay adding precooked chicken.

Yes, usually Atora. US stores don't sell that and to explain what it is, it is the hard white fat from around the kidneys.
