- This video provides a step by step guide to making homemade and southern style Chicken and Dumplings just like my grandmother made them. She used a whole chicken and for the dumplings, she made them using flour and chicken broth. This method will provide a creamy, velvety broth with dumplings that melt in your mouth!
I have received a lot of feedback on the background music. I appreciate the constructive criticism and it is noted! I will consider this feedback for future videos.
Thank you all for watching!

Recipe:
Chicken and Dumplings
For the Dumplings:
4 cups plain flour
1 tsp salt
½ tsp pepper
2 plus cups of chicken broth
For the Chicken and Broth
1 whole chicken
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
Add-Ins
1 stick butter
2 cans cream of chicken soup
1 can water
Boil chicken in water with salt and pepper until chicken is done.
This takes about one hour.
Remove from broth and allow chicken to cool.
Remove chicken from the bones. Cut into chunks and set aside.
To make the dumplings:
Combine the flour, salt, pepper.
Add the broth a little at a time to form into a ball of dough. If the mixture is too dry to stick together, you may add more broth a little at the time. Knead until the dough is soft, pillowy and does not stick to your hands.
Flour a surface for rolling out the dumplings. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out thin and cut into 2-3 inch strips. For easier cutting, you may use a pizza cutter. Place these on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper until the broth is ready. (These strips can be made ahead of time and may be frozen on sheet pans between layers of wax paper or freezer paper and will last for several days in the freezer.)
Bring the broth back up to a rolling boil. Drop the dumplings into the broth one at a time to ensure each dumpling is covered with broth. Cook for about 15 minutes on medium heat. The broth will begin to take on a thicker texture. Once the dumplings are cooked throughout, (around 45 minutes) add the cream of chicken soup and stick of butter. Allow these to cook on low for about three more minutes until the soup is combined and the butter is melted. Add in the chicken chunks and give it a big stir.
Allow it to sit for about fifteen minutes before serving.
The best recipe I've seen yet on RUclips. No biscuit or pie dough
It's still the same 😂
You are the 1st person on RUclips that made chicken and dumplings like my mother did
Love the recipe & instructions! Thank you! (The music is extremely annoying, however. I'm sorry! I hate to be negative!) - I'll end w/positivity, though, you answered a few big questions I had in mind. I admire & acknowledge all the hard work! I bet you make fabulous pies and pizzas~ Thanks again!
Thanks for the great recipe. Also you do a great video by getting the job without all the talking that’s unnecessary. 😊
I agree, VERY annoying music!!!
Yes ANNOYING I can't process multiple noises at once so I got none of the direction
It's video and ya choose to watch it so stfu
All you all have to do is turn down the volume on your phone. Then you won't hear the music. Read the transcript.
I totally agree with you about eating stringy chicken!
Thank you for sharing your recipe. I really like it.
Spent all day making this and it turned out amazing! Thank you for the recipe. I've been looking for one for a long time and this is the ONE! ❤
Omg, this is the exact same way my mama cooked hers, only differences she rolled her in balls instead of cutting them in strips. You are the only one on youtube that doesn't add onions, carrots, and celery. Every recipe I see has all of that extra and I just can't believe it. This brings back so many memories. Miss mama so much!
My grandmother never put carrots peas or celery either.
Thanks for the receipe .U r the only person other than my mother that l have seen use broth to make dumplings. And, she made the absolute best
Thank you so much!
I've eaten chicken and dumplings from a can for years. This looks way better and I will try it this week. So glad to learn the raw dumplings can be frozen.
I've been looking for a recipe like my Grandma's you're the first one I've seen Thank you so much. Making this for tonight's dinner
Made me hungry Looks like Moms Thank you so much
Great looking dumplings...reminded me of how my grandmother did hers.
I watched your video today and when I saw how you made your dumplings, I knew you had a great recipe!!! My mother made them like you-nice and thin! My mother’s roots run deep into Mississippi. For some learning how to make dumplings for the first time. This is an excellent video! Mine were absolutely delicious!!! Thanks so much for posting! I will subscribe!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾
This is simply a fabulous recipe and the background music is fantastic. I really enjoyed the video.
Thin dumplings are definitely the best way to go! My grandmother cooked them like this. Also, she added some yellow food coloring to make it even more appealing.
That has been my experience also, adding a few drops of yellow food coloring.
Your recipe is similar to my mother's. She let her dumplings dry out first, and she didn't use soup. Thanks for sharing your technique. The last time I made this, my dumplings disintegrated. This video has given me the desire to try again.
This is the way grandma did it. I’m going to give it a try. I didn’t like dumplings as a child, they were too rich. Mama made them, said mom’s were better! Thanks for the in depth instructions.😘
I love chicken and dumping is my favorite make for my birthday
I love the celery and onions in my dumplings it’s delicious your dumplings look good 👍
Thank you 😋
Looks soso good
Thank you true homemade ❤😊
My wife and I made the dumplings and they were the best we have ever eaten. Thanks. Also want to say you did a very professional job on the video.
Thank you so very much for the kind words!
Thank you so very much for the kind words!
Looks great. I will cook this soon. Looked fantastic
Thank you for your well explained video. It looks yummy. I have to agree thay the music was really annoying, but your instructions were very good.
Thanks for watching!
In the Amish area of south central PA this dish is called “slippery pot pie”. Your recipe is almost identical to our family recipe.
I was wiggling my cold 🥶 toes the whole time I was enjoying your chicken n dumplings recipe n hot dam it was Delicious 😋
Look delicious thank you for sharing your recipe
This looks like the chicken and dumplings my Mamma made. Yummy!!!!!
Hope you enjoy!
My wife loves chicken and dumplings. I've never made them, but this recipe looks like one I could make. Thanks for the video.
I can't wait to try this this looks so good I'm doing it right now thank you so much
That looks so good and easy to do just like my mother yum
Hope you enjoy. Thanks for watching!
I’m going to try this! Thank you
This is one dish that takes time.
It looks like my grandmother 😋
This is truly old school!!!
Thanks for watching! Enjoy!
@Dawn Uncles, I will have respectfully disagree! In my opinion , adding canned soup takes away from the old southern cooking. Everything is from scratch! But if that’s what people like, that’s up to them. But none of that processed stuff in mine.
That looks delicious and yummy
Definitely trying this recipe...looks delicious!
Thank you for your recipe. I just finished reading an ebook by Elle James where chicken and dumplings is mentioned.
Looks delicious!
I love this tutorial. Thank you ❤
You make it look totally possible,it looks amazing 🔥
Looks delicious 😋 makes my mouth water.
I've been looking all over RUclips for tht thick an creamy dumplings and I finally found it..it look so good I will be doing ur recipe thank u for taking time out of ur life to help someone like me. God bless
thank you so much! I hope you enjoy!
@@newsouthtable1705 no thank you so much I cooked an my brother an sister said it looked an taste like our late mom's🙏
Delicious
This more like my Grandy used to make chicken and dumplings but we called it pastry in NC. I enjoyed your demonstration show.
I have never seen anything like this. I am surprised at how long the dumplings take to cook. Looks awesome. Thankyou.
Thanks for watching
They look so delicious, the best recipe I've seen on RUclips so far can't wait to try it keep up the good work😋👌🏼😋😋
Thank you so much for watching.
That is the way we do them as well. I love them.
Looks good.
The way my Mother in Law taught me over 50 years ago. Except for the soup being added but I now do that too. Thanks for sharing.
You are very welcome! :)
To be clear, the 2+ cups of chicken broth you are using for your dumplings comes from the chicken pot on the stove, right? (Not using store-bought in a carton.)?
Thanks!
Tom in Texas
Thank you for this vid
This looks so delicious! Hope you'll post more videos.
That is exactly the way I want my chicken and dumplings to look! Thanks for the demo and the recipe!
LLove the recipe but the back ground music is annoying makes it hard to pay attention
The music could be gone!!!
Thank you. Finally some one that rolls the dough thin enough. Most You tuber's recommend an1/8 to even a horrendous 1/4 inch thick in similar dishes. Particular Ham Bot Boi or as the English call it Pt Pie in Pennsylvania Dutch - Amish cooking.
You might want to try using one of their ideas of incorporating an egg in the dough. It makes a richer flavor.
Second suggestion in making the dough. The first 1/4 to1/2 cup of liquid use whole milk, half and half or even richer full cream. Then finish with broth. Makes them even richer.
Can cream of chicken soup First I've ever heard of it. Interesting. But why tasteless water. Use a can of milk, half and half or cream. Ups the silkiness..
In Pa. Dutch cooking thin slices of potatoes are often added to thicken and stretch such dishes. Its a nutritious and inexpensive addition. You can always use a corn starch slurry if more thickness is desired.
Looks amazing
thank you!
The best 💜💙💓!
My tweaks: Use a cheese grater to cut cold butter in to the flour, add chicken broth to bring dough together. Roll dough out thin and cover rolled out dough with a very good dusting of flour, cut in to strips with a pizza cutter. With cut strips still floured and laying flat scoop several of them up at one time with a bench dough scraper and place in to a pile on counter. Dust with more flour and toss with flour to keep from sticking together. Roll out your next batch of dough. This method will also provide the flour to thicken the dumpling broth without using condensed chicken soup. Condensed chicken soup has an undesirable after taste. I never finish with butter as the chicken fat provides more than enough fat to produce creamy dumplings with a nice gloss. I stir mine very little as over stirring can cause the noodles to break apart and dissipate within the pot.
Yummy
Thanks Mama for helping me.
I like your technique. I will have to cook it myself. Even though your very basic. People enjoy flavor. So I will cook it your way . Eat it and decide if it needs more seasoned ingredients. Thank you 😊
I actually like the music
Recipes look delicious , good instructions. But perhaps tone down the music… it’s very distracting.
After 45 years being married to my wife she got all the grandkids raised and wanted a job after all this time. I am going to try and make chicken and dumplings for a surprise she said she wanted some I forget the chicken soup.
Looks yummy, I add milk, and alittle flour in the broth instead of soup, plus dont stir the dumplings that much breaks them apart, but I am sure yours is delicious I will try your way and see
Good job I been looking for you everybody else although might be good but not what I was searching for until no thank you Yumilicious right consistency thin like I like them will be silky
I hope you enjoy! thanks so much!
My mom made her dumplings with the chicken broth also, and kneaded the dough also. You’re the first person on RUclips to do it that way. Delicious, brought back memories. That was my favorite dish. Thanks for sharing. Love your channel. Girl, when you write your recipe book I’ll be the first to buy. 1000 👍🏽up😀
Thank you so very much!
Looks good👍😇🙏🏼
A lot like my wife and family cook's them, with couple things differently. We do use the whole bird, but I've never seen anyone boil the whole bird. Cut it into parts first. We also don't feel like you need any veggies in it. Remove parts when done, cool, pick the meat and, no, don't add the meat back until dumplings mostly done. And we don't use the soup. But we use self-rising flour. Guess it's all down to what you are used to and like. We use the pinch method instead of rolling them out. Just pinch off a dab of dough and drop it in pot.
They look good send me some and I can tell people how good they are. Just joking they do look good thank you for sharing👍
Thank you! :)
Thank you
You have a extra chair for dinner that looked so good
Looks good I'm going to have to make that but the music is taking away from your talking but it's your video you can do what you like just saying but thank you and keep putting them out
Sorry about that and thanks for the tip!
It looks good but I would not put the cream of chicken soup in it.
My grandma that we called Bigmama, didn't have no fancy cream of chicken soup or bouillon cubes but she did make her dough with broth 👍 Happy eating 😋
Love that!
I would really like to try your recipe, is it possible to post one without the music... please
Total cook time for the dumplings? I think that my problem I dont cook them long enough!
Good recipe,but music blow's
I tried your chicken and dumplings recipe this weekend an my wife and I just loved it. the best chicken and dumplings recipe I have ever had.
Thank you and I am glad you enjoyed it!
This is the way my Grandma made hers, only she added celery and onions to her broth. She let the broth that she was going to use for her dumplings to cool to room temp. She also used a stick of butter in the broth. She always said don't overwork your dumpling batter or they will be tough. She rolled them out with the flour like you did just not as long and hers was a little bit thicker, but never doughy. I have only been able to make them right when she was alive and instructed me. The next time I overworked the dough and they were so tough. Not sure if I overworked the dough or didn't have my broth boiling enough. This is the closest recipe for her style of dumplings that I have seen on RUclips. Also she did not add cream of chicken soup, the flour that stuck on the dumplings was enough to thicken the broth. It's one of those foods that the more you heat them up the better they taste. I think I'm going to give it a try again. Thanks for the authentic old school recipe.
Thank you for watching!
My gosh so tasty looking .The only problem I have is there is no measurement in making the dough .my husband said excellent cook usually don’t measure and I do believe that but problem like me who is just a amateur and just wanted to learn delicious dumpling just like you did .subscribe 🙏❤️🌹👍
do you use home made broth to make dumplings or store brought broth? and do it has to be cold ?
I LOVE THE DUMPLING BALLS INSTEAD
cold broth?
Recipe fantastic im going to try yours but music gave me a headache
Your chicken and dumplings is almost identical to mine.. I don’t kneed mine so much. My granny told me not to work it too much or your dumplings might be tough.
@@debraanchante3661 thank you. I would love to see you make some like your granny. I’m sure I would love them! ❤️
Ditch the music too repetitive. Music is too loud! It overpowers your voice! Love the recipe tho!
Thanks for the feedback and thank you for watching.
nice. i could and i would eat the whole pot. dont understand why you use canned soup after you stress about cooking chicken with the bones.
Can the leftovers be frozen?
I have never tried this because we always eat the leftovers. Please let me know if you try it and how it works!
We divide the dough in Half instead of 3rds,
for less work &
add half a stick of butter in the boiling broth, when ready to drop,
both times, so they don’t stick.
& WHY add soup ?
If you roll the dumplings with More Flour on the counter than in
this video, it all thickens up nicely, & automatically, because of the
eXtra flour on the cut dumplings we drop in.
Even faster
than with the soup.
No need to add bouillon either.
You could Add bone broth instead of water when you’re ready to add the dumplings,
to raise the liquid back up to halfway up
the sides of the pot.
Great looking dumplings though! Fer sure,
Perfect : )
Can you make the dough ahead of time.
I have a dumb question I really liked your video all the videos that I’ve watched tells you not to stir the dumplings am I being misinformed?
Sorry I know it’s a dumb question just needed to know the last time I made it all the liquid disappeared
Hi Monika
Sorry for the delayed response.
I have also heard the same thing, but I stir mine. Now, I don't over do it because they break apart; however, I find it best to stir so they don't stick to the bottom of the pot. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching!
My aunt told me to shake the pot, not stir
❤
Love all your videos. Don't care for the loud distracting music on this video. Made it hard for me to hear you. Sorry 😩
Noted! thanks for the tip!
Can you send me a written recipe for this?
Too bad so many people don't know where their volume button is ! 😂😂 After all the directions are in the description box.
👍👌
Delish😅
What happen to the crust that you lay on the top but that looks delicious my mom just rolled her a butter crust on top and lord Jesus it was delicious you can cook to
Is the music necessary???
ordinarily i would have switched channels because of that music. Its hard to concentrate on what your say. the music is too loud. i was interested in your chicken and dumplings. if i want to lIsten to music, i could fi d my own.
I've watched this video before and tuned it the music but know I've read this comment that is all i can hear.
Damn you Bill!!! 😂
Your dish looks quite delicious but the cooking time for the dumplings seems excessive. You said after 15 minutes then after 45 minutes they should be done. They actually looked like they had broken to pieces. I would think they were cooked thru much sooner and would have been left more whole. I admire how thin you rolled your dough which makes for thinner dumplings that are tastier to me. As I said they do look delicious.
