This recipe is perfection,I doubled it this time,always comes out fantastic

[@ChittiFoods]

Superrrrrrrrr recipe 😍

[@rebeccajames4564]

You are an excellent teacher! Cooking intimidates many and I recommend you to those who want to learn how.

[@MelvisVelour]

I found this clip this morning and made it and it was fantastic! The only change I made was adding a handful of peppercorns to the stock along with the salt but otherwise, turned out great and took some across to the street to my neighbors who have to really isolate themselves and they were most appreciative. Though, they are now the official victims of a walk by chicken and dumpling-ing...or, whatever...

[@nairbllebpmac4179]

This is way different than my chicken & dumplings but it looks yummy, I'll have to make it and see what the family thinks. My daughter will only eat my version so we'll see. Sometimes when I'm lazy I use canned biscuits for dumplings, saves time and tastes great.

[@kathysnyder8293]

Made this Sarah as you did and it was delicious. Love watching your demos. You are a hoot.My dumplings were not as pretty as yours.

[@pebbleshore2731]

Yum!

[@alicecalsada3838]

Yummy

[@Hayala0414]

I feel that on the kids winter break a recipe I can try. First timer. Dumplings here I come.

[@ninatretiakova7388]

Just made this for dinner: 90 mins cooking, plate cleared in less than 15 mins 😅😊 super comforting!

[@kareng3847]

You should add mint...I use it for veggie chicken and dumplings and it's amazing. My aunt made traditional chicken and dumplings with mint added huge difference.

[@Tattikat]

Yeeeey!!! I love your hair, thanks for bringing it back, you look wonderful Sara! Merry Christmas!

[@abdusshahid5305]

WE NEED MORE DUMPLING VIDEOS PLSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!

[@zacharylavender1568]

I would use buttermilk in my dumplings

[@carolynsmith9172]

agreed.Buttermilk is the only way to go.

[@olarky1]

I never tried it but Chef John says butter milk can make the dumplings separate and come apart in the broth .

[@AlergicToSnow]

Creme Fraise

[@Fairland3]

I am from Alabama and I’ve always had it with more dumplings and a thick creamy sauce.

[@sheteg1]

Thx. That was the solution I was looking for.

[@angelaha7574]

Celery is my favorite

[@pathsofnature8806]

Hmm. Yes. 👍

[@pathsofnature8806]

That's why I like recipes with dumplings similar to the Chinese New Year soup Tangyuan. 👍

[@chenlinqian7766]

Love your new hair color

[@SorrentoShore]

This looks amazing... I'm making a similar recipe but will be "cheating", with a Costco rotisserie chicken and a premix dumpling mix. I'm thinking no potatoes or peas so the starch level is lower. I'm going with adding a lot of garlic and 🍋 lemon for a garlicky Greek version.

[@bethsontag]

I notice that you use a santoku knife . Is this something I need to own?

[@autry2012]

In cooking chicken, did you use any vegi and herb? Could you explain in little more details and cooking time? Thank you.

[@beibeim3537]

Ha ha that's a new definition of dumplings to me 😄

[@jamesjfisk4968]

Yeah, it's funny that an old English (or at least European) word ended up meaning something else in Asia.

[@Marilyns888]

So what can I do to make it way more fluffy?

[@suzisaintjames]

I'd leave out the potato. The dumplings and gravy alone are enough starch for my family. Otherwise a recipe that I would try! 🎄💜🌞🌵

[@suzisaintjames]

@J RT besides potato is a nightshade... Toxic to many people. 💜🌞🌵😷

[@rayradiance666]

Hi hunny!!!

[@sinamruff]

Could you meal prep this and put it in the microwave with the dumplings and all?

[@creepyuncle542]

How long did you poach the chicken?

[@sunshinelove1537]

FYI: The pastry cutter is actually to avoid using your hand for pastries because the dough crumb should stay cold to be “crumbly” with the bit of cold butter so it can melt during baking. Your body temperature from your hands melts the butter and defeats the goal.

[@jjackeeeKooKz]

O.M.G. Send me a BIG BOWL! i like lemon in mine too Sarah ❤️

[@robertbarnes7871]

How many Southern Moms and Grandma’s made this in a big pot and rolled out their dough and cut it into squares and dropped it in and cooked it that way ?? But the recipe looks good ... Thanks for sharing...

[@peshgirl]

Slickers vs Floaters. Alton Brown did an episode about it. They're both right, just different.

[@nahlamostafa1262]

This is the dumplings I knew growing up. My mother made them with beef stew. SO GOOD.

Robert barnes yeah, that’s the way I make mine. This one looks more like stew and a biscuit, but still looks yummy.

[@semco72057]

The chicken and dumpling dish you made look great and different than what was fed to the inmates and staff at the prison I worked at. Theirs was so heavy until I stopped eating that dish.

[@DanyelleMullins]

What in the city slicker is this

[@fannyboni472]

usualy sarah you are really in the season things. you made videos and the ingredients (well almost...) according to the season.. why nothing for christmas, for New Year's Eve even for the winter??!! not even a word about it...... snif.. i miss it! i dont want to look like a nostalgic but i really prefer the style of video that you guys was making 2 or 3 years ago.. but i still adore your channel and everything dont get me wrong you are awsome. it was just a little critic. happy New Year to all the team of everyday food, i wish you even more sucess that you already have! xoxo

[@francesbrooks228]

Lmao this is fun!

[@priscillaclanton7577]

How did you get the carrots & potatoes chunks perfectly cut small?

[@tochamp5441]

She used a chefs knife

[@mikeyd946]

Nice hair 💗

[@sheteg1]

I know in posting way past the video. But if anyone sees this. The dumplings were tasty but a bit dense. Anyone have a solution to make them fluffier ?

[@bellenesatan]

Three years late! I'm so sorry! But try adding baking powder to your dumpling flour, a small amount, about a quarter to half a teaspoon.

[@jerolinegoree4404]

[@Forevertrue]

Those are my kind of dumplings. A person can also use a grater for the butter, freeze it first and grate it in and you got great dumplings, biscuits or whatever without the extra work. The same grater you use for hash browns. Thanks for this. Work on the hair.

[@possumtater9544]

Dem babies (dumplins) look good

[@klmhookedmoore5847]

Looks like an ok recipe but could in no way replace my southern grandma's chicken & dumplings. Northerners & West Coast folks would definitely be on board with you.

[@TastyFoods4k]

best option to win over killing winter damn 🔥;)

[@cmenowOn]

with peas, carrots, and potatoes, for a moment I thought it was chicken pot pie

[@gail7384]

KLM Hooked Moore care to post your grandma’s recipe? I’m a big fan of good southern comfort food and would very much appreciate it!

[@sourgummiez]

Heck no! im from California and i prefer most things like this SOUTHERN made! My dad is from Texas ;) aint nobody got time got chicken and dumplings that arent from the south

[@cmenowOn]

Courtney Pie haha, it’s the ONLY way!!

[@moishglukovsky]

No need to worry about lumps anyway....you're making chicken and dumplings. How would you know? ;-)

[@dianastable5236]

How could I make this recipe gluten free and vegan?

[@lylymongeon]

Diana The Healthy Pescatarian/Vegan Home Chef Hmmm. Use oil instead of butter, coconut milk instead of the dairy, veggiestock instead of chicken stock, lentils or beans instead of chicken and rice flour instead of wheat. Will taste different but delicious am sure.

[@NobleSteed00]

You can just drink water. It's gluten free and vegan.

[@Nocturne22]

Just make vegetables and dumplings.

[@phillipsmom6252]

Diana The Healthy Pescatarian/Vegan Home Chef ..... Why is a vegan watching this video? Why? Duh......

[@sebastiandelvillar8542]

Do not use your fingers when using a pastry cutter!!! You can cut your fingers!! Use a spoon instead 🙏🏻

[@janikiawoods8486]

Sara seems not her cheery self in this video. I hope the c&d cheered her up

[@miznewjerzeycooks755]

I agree and noticed in last few vids she isnt wearing her wedding rings hope things are ok

[@destiniburkham1436]

Celery? Strong flavor? Tastes like water to me... wonder what you think about cayenne pepper??? I put a lot of it in everything.

[@arny1036]

Hey Destini Miss Ms Sarah is a spice head since way back. I love everything with a pinch of heat myself. thank goodness Sarah has lots of demos with heat. I hope this answers your Sarah question,

[@JessyJess04]

It's one of those vegetables that transforms when cooked; too much can make a dish taste medicinal or soapy.

[@Hockeyfan9884]

Good dumplings. It the hairstyle expensive at the saloon or is it from not such a good knights rest ?

[@roadheaven6475]

It dosen't work 😊

[@tomsparks6099]

Sarah seems annoyed making this and I can see why. It is one of those recipes that is "relative". Southern, Jewish, et al. The best Ive ever had was when there is TOP ROOM in the pot of simmer to fulfill the puff of the dumpling, so you need a good uncrowded tall stock pot -- also, the chicken fat from the skin helps -- a trick is using soda water with matzo meal. Dumplings that aren't dense bricks of blech is a talent.

[@gregkosinski2303]

lol it cracks me up seeing a middle aged woman rocking the same hairstyle us BMX rats rocked in middle school circa 1995

[@tomcloss9764]

A lot of people don't add potatoes to their c&d's. I do. Me like.😊.

[@evonne1957]

That’s more like chicken soup with dumplings on top. Traditional southern Chicken and Dumplings is just that...Chicken and Dumplings. Rather it’s rolled and cut or spooned and dropped. Putting parsley in Chicken and Dumpling well that’s optional for color. But that soup she made looks tasty tho.

[@grahambunton377]

How can you measure a cup of diced onion or a tablespoon of butter ??? Don't they sell digital scales in America? 150g of onion or 20g of butter is the modern way to cook. Cups were used because nobody on The Mayflower packed their scales but 399 years later you would think Americans could understand those "new fangled gadgets with numbers on the front" It's 2019 America.

[@valeriepowell1736]

Why do people always try to improve on grandma chicken and dumplings? It's just not necessary 🥴

[@brettashton66]

Lovely Sarah seems sad...…….AND no wedding rings??!!

Florrie Goldman I noticed that too looking back on old videos she always had it on maybe her and her wife got a divorce

[@brettashton66]

So sad if true...……...

[@richardvergara]

She lost me at “add potatoes 🥔”

[@dorispowell7643]

What does Sarah’s appearance have to do with her teaching ability. I for one thinks she is very good at what she does. All else does not require the attention of all the derogatory dumb people who think it matters whether she has her wedding rings on today. Ridiculous thing to take notice of.

[@StArFuRyZz]

The cutting board looks like it needs some TLC...noticed some cracks in one end and it looks dry. Food looks amazing though.

Peas? No. Parsley? No. Thyme? ....no. Wayyyyyyy waaayyyyy too much green Looks like spinach stew.

What IS this abomination?! No. These look more like matzo balls. I like those but they’re NOT dumplings.
