Chicken and Dumplings Recipe
Ingredients:
▪6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
▪Salt
▪Black pepper (approx. 1 tsp, divided)
▪300g (1 large) white onion, medium diced
▪150g (3-4 stalks) of celery, medium diced
▪150g (3-5 medium) carrots, diced
▪150g (1 medium) fennel bulb, chopped
▪20g (4-5 cloves) garlic, pressed
▪115g (1 stick) butter
▪135g (1c) all-purpose flour (or sub with cup for cup gluten free flour)
▪100g (1/2c) dry white wine
▪1200g (5c) chicken broth
▪100g (1/2c) heavy cream (or 400g milk and only 800g of stock if you don’t have cream)
▪3-4 sprigs thyme
▪2 bay leaves
▪2g (3/4t) poultry seasoning
▪200g frozen peas
Dumplings:
▪360g (3c) all-purpose flour
▪8g (1 2/3t) coarse salt
▪12g (2 1/2T) baking powder
▪4g (1 1/2t) black pepper
▪75g (5T) unsalted butter, melted
▪340g (2 1/4c) whole milk
Instructions:
1.Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C).
2. Season both sides of the chicken thighs with salt and black pepper. Roast in the oven for 30 minutes or until fully cooked and fat is rendered.
3. While the chicken is roasting, dice onion, celery, carrots, fennel. Press garlic cloves.
4. In a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat, melt one stick of butter. Add diced vegetables and garlic, a pinch of salt, and sweat for 6-8 minutes, stirring often. I'm using a 6 3/4qt dutch oven.
5. Stir in all-purpose flour to create a roux. Add wine, scraping the bottom of the pot to deglaze. Cook for about 30 seconds.
6. Add chicken broth, heavy cream, thyme, bay leaves, and poultry seasoning. Stir well.
7. Chop the roasted chicken thighs into small bite sized pieces and add to the pot over medium heat along with frozen peas. Stir and simmer on low for 5 minutes to reheat chicken and peas, scraping the bottom of the pot as you go.
8. In a separate bowl, mix the dry dumpling ingredients: all-purpose flour, salt, baking powder, black pepper. While mixing, stream in the melted (but not hot) butter, and milk and continue stirring until just barely combined.
9. Taste the chicken gravy mixture for seasoning and adjust with additional salt if needed.
10. Back to the dumpling dough, using two teaspoons, quenelle the dumpling dough and drop 12-16 dumplings into the pot.
11. Lower the heat to low, cover with a lid, and cook for 15 minutes or until the dumplings have expanded and cooked through.
12. Test a dumpling for doneness by cutting into it; it should be fluffy and cooked through, not gluey.

Bro, sorry of topic with the video but I have to really thank you man. 2 years ago I made my first bread thanks to your tutorials, and never stopped since. Yesterday I made bread for my mom and dad and they were so happy. Its a great feeling to give great food to people we love. Thank you so much :)
it's the best. glad to hear that you're still baking.
Same here. You're the man Brian
Same here. His video got me going and I’ll never go back to store bought bread and my family and friends love the gift of fresh bread
Same!
Samesies
Chef, the morning you posted this I asked my 73yo grandma what she wanted for dinner. Before I even saw you posted this she told me chicken and dumplings! Tonight I made this for my grandparents, mother, and my girlfriend. My grandma who doesn’t eat a whole lot ate TWO bowls.
This is truly one of the best meals I’ve ever made and the credit goes purely to you. Thank you so much.
A good recipe and tutorial yes. You also made the effort to watch, learn, buy the ingredients and cook then serve the meal for yourself those you love. Give yourself far more credit. Keep cooking. ; )
I was not prepared for "cloud-level dumpers." 🤣🤣 Looks great man can't wait to try this out.
There are two types of dumplings for chicken and dumplings: drop or rolled.
This is a drop version, where you are basically creating a biscuit dough and putting them into the liquid to cook.
Rolled dumplings are more like noodles, just thicker and heartier. The dough is heavier and then rolled out and cut into long, wide strips, dusted with flour to keep from clumping together then stretched a bit as you place them into the liquid. The end result thicker and chewier than a fluffy drop dumpling.
Both can be a ‘spent all Sunday in the kitchen’ dinner with boiling the chicken, stripping the meat and simmering the bones by themselves a few hours more for the stock. That is “Grandma’s secret.”
But, we have instant gratification in rotisserie chickens from the grocery store or use chicken breasts or thighs. The flavors we’d get from hours of simmering can be achieved with boxed or canned chicken stock, so it’s pretty much just the dumpling creation that takes up a lot of time. That might keep it out of work night cooking, but safely within a lazy weekend.
A stick of butter! I like your style. Your dumplings look absolutely perfect.
Thank you 😋
Damned skippy, they do!! I can't wait to make this! I've been looking for the perfect recipe for years. I think this could be it!
as soon as you dropped in the peas I realized that this is basically pot pie, which is great
very excited to make this one
In the swedish speaking part of Finland we call it ”klimpsoppa”. We make it with beef though and often put raisins in the dumplings. 😋
Yeah this version is basically like a pot pie. Usually chicken and dumplings is just gravy/broth with chicken in it and then the dumplings. Like a whole chicken gets boiled to cook it and make your stock then its pulled from the bone and shredded, stock reduced and tickened ro your desired consistency and dumplings dropped in to cook. In the deep south states they make these big ass thick square shaped noodles and call those dumplings. It's really chicken and noodles though. Real dumplings are just like these in the video.
Yes, I agree..in fact, there are several brands of flat egg noodles that are marketed as “dumplings.” All these alleged “experts” on southern dumplings don’t know what they’re talking about, as most of them are describing noodles, not dumplings, and why can’t someone have an interpretation that’s slightly different without it being deemed “wrong,” which it certainly is not?? This is certainly pot pie influenced, but pot pie crust uses oh, what is it, cornstarch I believe for that crumbly texture. If it’s delicious and has floury, fluffy, rich “dumplings” on top, why can’t he call it dumplings? Geez..ppl are so intolerant lately..@@Appalachianasshole41
Normal chicken and dumplings doesn’t usually have any vegetables, so this is definitely more of a pot pie/dumpling mix
Pot pie without the work.
My grandmother made chicken and dumplings and it was a family recipe using a whole chicken but no peas. The dumplings were made using Bisquick, set a timer and don’t lift the lid! There is probably a recipe on the Bisquick box even today. When I saw you cut into that dumpling it was perfection. Thanks for the memory.
My kids are of retirement age now and they had this dish about once a week while growing up. Back then, we just started with a whole chicken but I like your idea better.
shoutout to our girl Lauren for being gluten free, I love that Bri tends to include gf alternative tips in his recipes way more often now so I can actually make the stuff and not just watch and drool
Thanks, Brian! I'll be making these this weekend. BTW, made your short ribs last weekend. Best I've ever had!!!!
oh dude, love hearing that. Thanks Ken.
My pro tip is to replace the salt in the dumpling batter with some Better Than Bouillon. It gives them that "Chicken in a Biskit" vibe.
Was it an equal amount you replaced it with (8g)?
You are an evil genius man... My wife and I have enjoyed so many of your recipes, and they are always amazing! Thanks for your hard work. Best to you!
Yeah, he taught me to think like a chef and understand what makes every dish sooo fresh and delicious 😋
Would love to work with you!
YES! Finally another cook who uses poultry seasoning in their soup! I’ve been using it for years and it takes ordinary chicken soup to the next level, with just a hint of thanksgiving stuffing flavor. This is almost exactly how I make my chicken and dumplings, perfect for a snowy evening. 😊
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
You really hit a nostalgic nerve with this one, Brian. I loved my mother's chicken and dumplings. All I wanted was a bowl of her light-as-air dumplings, forget the chicken and whatever else she put in. I never got the recipe from her and she passed way too young. I'll be making your recipe soon. Thanks for the memories!
I can't love this enough. I grew up on chicken and dumplings - the hen was pulled from the barn yard and into the pot on the wood stove. I make my own updated version that includes - wine and poultry seasoning 😀 I also add a pinch of sage and poultry seasoning to my dumplings. I've never made it with cream, I may have to try it.
lazy nights with a cozy blanket watching friends is one of life's greatest pleasures
Watching friends do what?
ig he meant a tv show called friends 🤷😅@@larrman5409
The vibe of this video perfectly matches the vibe of the food itself - comforting and homey. Will definitely be giving this a try myself this week.
Hope you enjoy!
It was a pleasure meeting you on Saturday man! If you ever need anything from my store, lmk I got you. Love the vid!
One of my favorite winter weekend dinners. Just a perfect "it's cold outside and I wanna eat something warm and wonderful" dish. Thanks for your version - I'll have to give it a try.
Brian, you don’t know how bad i wanted you to do a chicken and dumplings video.
thank you so much. i’m making this asap
The video name immediately took me back to my grandma’s kitchen many years ago. Thank you. But her chicken and dumplings looked totally different. I recall bone in pieces of chicken and not so many veggies. Her version was delicious - a family fav. I’m sure yours is equally amazing - just different. Thanks!
I was going to comment exactly the same. I loved my grandmother's version when I was a kid. There were carrots and probably celery and onion, but hers included sliced hard boiled eggs and did not have green peas. I'll have to try this recipe and see how it compares. Definitely nostalgia food!
6:06 "Cloud-level *dumpers"* is the very moment I was compelled to smash the "like" button. 💯
Personally, I found it cringe coming off an ad read for bowel movements.
@@monkeygraborangeI hear you. I pay for RUclips Premium & don't get commercials so I can stare at these *cloud-level dumpers* without interruption. 🤌
This is the time of year where this kind of food is awesome!! Thanks for sharing this video.
This brings back precious memories of my late great grandmother and late grandmother (mother and daughter) making chicken and dumplings in the 1970s and 80s. They cooked fresh chickens from their back yard and vegetables from their neighbors' gardens. These two phenomenal women made blankets from those old foot pedal sewing machines and the best homemade biscuits and cinnamon rolls. I was the one always in the kitchen watching, tasting, and learning how to cook without measurements. Great recipe Brian!
Amen for adding Poultry seasoning . I learned this one year making pot of chicken noodle soup . It adds so much good flavor 😊 Bri thanks for always lookin so Kleen ☝🏻
Not the dish we deserved, but the one we needed.
Thanks Bri
Small thing that doesn’t go unnoticed, you describing the “week night” way to cut an onion. I know you’ve done it in other videos, but I appreciate the tips! Keep em coming!
I just made this for the family and their eyes rolled back in their heads. Thanks for the incredibly comforting recipe! Oh for anyone who may be in the same boat in terms of lactose, I’ll tell you that omitting the heavy cream from the gravy still results in a delicious end result!
And yes, I still used all the butter as per the recipe. Some things can’t be substituted 😊
Making this today. I’ve just recently found your channel and have made your epic beef stew recipe last weekend and it was amazing. Thank you for all of your work.
Poultry Seasoning is a must. My Aunt's recipe
had it & it truly makes a
difference.
What is it? Or what is in it? I don't think we have it in the UK . . .
@@WillGosnold it's ground dried sage, thyme, marjoram, rosemary, nutmeg, and black pepper
I've watched your videos for over a year, but never actually made any of the recipes, until last night. This was fantastic, and just how I remember it from my childhood. Thank you!
My family is all from the south so this is something we ate a lot as kids! Very nostalgic
I am not the target audience but wanted to leave some feedback on the dumpers. I'm not in the US, purchased the closest grind we have to US AP flour, and measured the ingredients by weight. The dumpling dough was too loose to quenelle, even after letting it sit for a little while. I dropped them into the chicken anyway (on the stove right now). I didn't really grow up with chicken and dumplings but have been craving them lately and haven't been able to find a recipe where the dumplings turn out as promised with German 405 or 550 flour. Edited to add: The dumpers turned out nice and pillowy and fluffy, even though they weren't evenly sized. :) I also halved the amount of black pepper in the dumpers and in my opinion, that was still more than enough. Will try this again.
Chicken and dumplings are my favorite. My grandma made the dumplings with Bisquick. This is basically my recipe, though I have never used fennel or garlic in it. Will have to give that a go next time.
I make chicken and dumplings every few months. I love it, especially in the cooler months. Great video Brian!
Nice recipe! Always heard about chicken and dumplings. Will definitely try it at next family dinner. Thanks Bri!
What you did is basically how my Sister in Law makes it and its amazing. One thing she does differently is her biscuits are more done on the top. It gives a great varying texture. Love em!
Another amazing recipe Bri! I made it right after this was posted and it was a hit! In fact, my daughter is coming home from college this weekend and this is the first thing she wants to eat. People, if you're new here, do not hesitate to make any of Bri's recipes! I've made dozens and all have been outstanding.
I love making this dish, especially when anyone is under the weather or in a blue mood. Delicious!
Thank you Brian for always making things easy to follow and understand …plus your recipes are always awesome !
Made this tonight and it was a fan favorite for this family of 7!
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
Thanks Bri for showing us how to properly drop dumps.
Made it for my mom and my wife tonight, turned out great. All three of us loved this dish
Holy shit - quite literally this recipe is AMAZING. Brian - Thanks for creating awesome, nuanced recipes, while also making them so manageable and super easy to follow for the home cook. All of your recipes we've tried have been awesome!
I made the chicken and dumplings last Sunday. It was absolutely amazing. Everyone loved it. I love the use of fennel. It was so, so good. I substituted green beans for the peas. Delicious
I absolutely adore chicken and dumplings. I'd be making these tonight but I have the dough ready for your Detroit Pizzas. I'll definitely make these next week. Thanks, Bri.
Another beautiful looking dish I'll have to try!. Thanks!
I didn't grow up eating it but loved when I had it an aunts house a few times. I made it a staple in my own home. I'm going to add wine next time I make it!
This is almost exactly the way that I make chicken and dumplings! Btw, this is great made with leftover turkey.
What an unfortunate childhood to not have grown up with dumplings atop your stew. They were one of the fave winter dishes in my house growing up. I make those dumplings with caraway seeds in them and put them on top of an awesome pork “stew”. Those flavors are just as homey and delicious as the chicken. My mom always called it Dublin Stew. IDK if it has any actual Irish connections but it will always be Dublin Stew to my family.
My mother used to make chicken and dumplings, but I never knew how she made it. Well, Brian, those are her dumplings!!! Thank you, now I can go make a big pot of them!
I watch a lot of cooking content and have tried a lot of recipes. Of all the chefs your recipes are easily the best bar none. I feel like a lot recipes under season but all yours are spot on. Everything is 🔥
Perfect recipe. Been making chicken and dumplings this way for decades. 👍
You must be a mind reader. Doing chicken and dumplings this weekend and I was looking last night to see your flair on the dish. Amazing as always. Thanks :)
Made this today and it was so delicious! ❤❤❤❤ thank you so much.
Love the looks of this recipe. Thank you for sharing this recipe. Yummy 😋
Checking in from my couch as requested. Very full and very happy. Thanks Bri!
just made this and it turned out great! so good! gonna try and make as many of your recipes as I can
We made it today!!! It does bring back a ton of memories. Thank you!!!
Brian, you’re the best. Thank
You.
Fennel? Garlic? WHITE WINE! we are not in the south. This is the upscale french version, im sure. Love your stylish cooking. Really, enjoy your videos and learn a lot.
I was just thinking the same thing! lol Whether to add vegetables to the chicken and dumplings is an argument where I'm from. Neither of my grandmothers added vegetables, but had them on the side. They'd definitely like this recipe, but they'd tell you it's "fancy" in-laws visiting stew.
Hey Brian, I've tried a handful of your recipes but have never commented. I made your chicken and dumplings this afternoon, and it was great. It will now go in my rotation.
Thanks for all the great content.
You have the best recipes! Thank you so much for posting! New subscriber and so glad your channel showed up in my recommended 🥰🥰
I am four months pregnant and this was perfect and needed! I woke up craving them and found your video. Baby and mom say thank you 🙏🏽 for a delicious lunch and leftovers!
This is how my mom always made chicken and dumplings. I've seen so many youtubers make dumplings thin like noodles. Then it looks like chicken and noodle soup. Fluffy drop dumplings are the best!
This looks amazing, can wait to try it out when winter comes to South Africa ❤
Excellent content, as always.
To paraphrase my beloved grandma; when you know, you know.
I love the expression my college music theory teacher would say..”now, this one is exactly the same..only different..”
Thank you for the fantastic recipe! I made this using rendered chicken fat for 1/2 of the butter in the gravy and in the dumplings, and was absolutely fantastic. Definitely added to the rotation
I had a Mountain House chicken and dumples meal after a twenty mile leg of my annual birthday backpacking trip this past winter, and it was the most comforting thing that I'd ever eaten. Even freeze-dried, the chicken and dumplings magic is there.
Bro, you always crank out banger recipes! Keep doing what you do! My family really appreciates your meals!
Made this tonight and got rave reviews! One of your best recipes that I've made of yours and one of the best I've made at all! One thing though that didn't affect the end product was I had about twice the dough needed to make 18 dumplings. No big deal just an FYI
Never had a bad meal from any of your recipes, but this was amazing. Quick enough for a weeknight with amazing flavor
just finished eating this, so yummy, tasty, chunky and satisfying!!! your recipes continue to be my absolute favourites and make me more confident about my cookin.
they make cooking more fun too,
thanks for sharing another winner Bri!
This is amazing! Knocked another one out of the park. God job Bri!
I haven't made chicken & dumplings in a long while. You got my taste buds going. Plus I just watched your bread video. I love bread and make it all the time and love any bread video. Yummy 😋
Hi Brian! Thanks for another recipe to try! I also made your confetti cake last week - it was delicious!
Hey Bri! Looks delicious and warming especially on a cold winter night. Like the idea of "lighter dumplings" as her in the UK they're traditionally made with 2 parts Self Raising Flour, 1 part beef suet, enough cold water to bind & with herbs/seasonings of your choice. Delicious but very rib sticking! Thanks for sharing ❤ to you and Lorn
Looks amazing!
Looks so good. Thanks.
Yum, making this tomorrow night!
Bri…this was absolutely delicious. I made it exactly as you prescribed. Of course I had to rewatch the video a bunch of times (I am probably 100 of your views!lol) but it was so good. You were right about the poultry seasoning. I also made the stroganoff and it was the best I have ever had. You rock. I am now eating a warm bowl of chicken and dumplings and I couldn’t be happier 😊
Def gong to make this for my family meal this weekend. A half batch because there's only two of us but I'm really looking forward to it!!
Didn't know you're a Chef. I was just browsing You Tube for a fluffy dumpling for the chicken and dumplings I made. I was drawn to this video. I made them. 0MG ! I will forever use your recipe. fluffy, light texture, delicious. I did Sift the dry ingredients and cook for 20 minutes. Wow, delicious.
Don't know if you'll see this but I made this meal the day before I had my surgery and I'm just gonna say I'm glad this was my pre surgery meal. It was so good and as a just about ameture cook, it was so easy and scrummy. Thanks, Brian! Your videos always look delectable but achievable ❤
made this , was awesome!!! few minor changes as couldnt find celery for reasons. made huge amount of portions
My Grandmother made this, and I have been looking for a good recipe for 50 years. I will give this a try. It looks perfect.
This reminds me of my moms dumplings for sure 😋 making this weekend...ty 🥰😋
This was sooooo good!!!!
Your new best dish to date sir!
Very similar to sausage buscuits and gravy. 😘👌
In Poland those "dumplings" are called "kluski kładzione" which would translate to "laid lumps". Word dumpling is reserved for something with a filling
I think this is the only context where dumplings refers to balls of dough like that.
@@williamreinhard it's more about spreading our culture and bride world of lumps and pierogi, less about correcting yours :d
That looks amazing 🤤
Looks delicious!
As always, such a good recipe 👍 a big thanks for using grams!
This recipe seems like a chicken pot pie soup basically and I’m so here for that! Thanks for another hit, Brian! 🎉🎉🎉
Definitely looks good!!! But I agree.
dumplings are such a nice and cozy meal! i personally prefer the dumplings to be more gooey and chewy, but flakey is pretty good!
Thank you so much for mentioning how to make it gluten free! This helps so much! ❤
Keep the dutch oven videos coming! I use your videos as an excuse to get use out of my new le crueset.
I really enjoyed this dish, the flavors were great. I had to cook my dumplings longer because of our elevation plus I had to cook them in batches because my dutch oven isn't that wide. My wife really liked this and we just finished left overs today.
Looks fantastic, Bri!
I made this tonight and oh.my.god. So good those dumplings were like soft warm fluffy pillows
