Old Fashioned Chicken and Dumplings

Published 2022-10-15
Making chicken and dumplings doesn't have to be hard with a ton of complicated ingredients. Come along with me and learn this simple old fashioned recipe that has been passed down for many years in our family.

Recipe:
Soup
1-2 qts chicken broth
2 cups milk
2-3 cups shredded chicken
salt and pepper to taste
1 Tbsp butter

Dumplings
2 cups SELF RISING flour
1 tsp salt
4-5 Tbsp butter
1 cup milk

Combine all the soup ingredients. Bring to a rolling boil. While waiting for your mixture to boil, start making dumplings. Combine all dumpling ingredients in a separate bowl. Once soup mixture is boiling, drop dumpling mixture into soup, 1 Tbsp at a time until your pot is full or you are out of the dumpling mixture. DO NOT STIR. Cover and simmer until dumplings are fluffy and cooked through, approx. 5 min. Let cool and enjoy!

Hey y'all, I'm Meagan. My husband Andy and I grew up in rural NC and as newlyweds, decided we wanted something more than the typical American lifestyle. So we started growing our own food, I learned to can and so started this passion of food preservation and knowing where our food comes from.

Even though we grew up around this lifestyle, we still had to learn for ourselves, the ways of our ancestors before us. We now grow a huge portion of our food, including our own meat.


High society and MSM want you to think you don't have time to grow, preserve and cook your own food from scratch, but I am here to help you along the way. As a working mother of 2 on a busy little farm, there is time, we just have to prioritize it.


Through my weekly videos, I'll show you how to prepare easy meals cooked from scratch, tips on preserving your garden harvest and the occasional farm video. Live life on YOUR terms

    I like fluffy dumplings too. I use bisquick and they are delicious. I start with a whole chicken and boil with onions, carrots and celery until it can be picked from the bone. I pull the chicken out, pick meat and put back into the pot right away. I leave all the vegetables. After meat is put back into pot I drop the dumplings. You are right it is the best meal ever.
  • FINALLY someone who knows how to make chicken and dumplings!!! I'm a new fan 😀😋💕

    That is how my Mom made dumplings and I grew up eating them that way. When I moved to Texas 35 years ago I encountered the rolled dumplings and thought folks were crazy...now I make the rolled ones. Lol one of my fav meals-either way I make dumplings 😂

    You are the only one who makes homemade dumplings , Like I do ! The best ever !❤❤❤😊😊
  • I stumbled upon this method years ago when I was trying to make a dumpling that was fluffy in the middle instead of being a slicker. What I discovered: wet on the outside gives fluffy inside. I splash a little buttermilk down the side of my mixing bowl and then roll my spoon-sized ball of dough around in it. It works! I cook mine for about 15 minutes. Half-way through, I'll push them down a bit to get liquid over the tops. Great video! Thank you.
