Chicken And Dumplings
I seemed to have developed a strange attraction and liking to dumplings. But not the dumplings that my mom or grandmother made. These dumplings are not the Caribbean way! But I just love them! I also love the way the chicken is cooked down into a stew. My husband loves how fluffy the dumplings are, and I totally agree.
This Chicken and Dumpling meal truly makes me happy. No leftovers whenever I make this 🙂
I know you guys loved the Chicken Soup With Dumplings. But THIS is where the party is at! LOL Yes, I love it that much.

Dumplings in the pot!

This is a definite favourite for me. I just need to win the kids over and then this could be a weekly item. Too bad they are going through that funny texture phase.

Now this is an interesting recipe. I typically don’t use baking powder in my dumplings unless I’m frying them, but that would give them a whole new texture if prepared this way. I’m on school lockdown today, but I’m going to make this tomorrow. I have all the ingredients except Grapeseed oil which I’ll substitute … and dried thyme (I have some fresh thyme so I’ll use that).
Thanks for another great recipe!
I agree CD, baking powder is what mommy always uses for frying also. The texture from these dumplings are quite delightful. I’m sure you can use whatever oil at hand to cook the chicken, as long as it is well seasoned, should not be a problem. And fresh Thyme will work great. Glad you love this recipe!
I’m not sure if my last comment posted but I just wanted to make sure that you knew that I am now having a serious craving for chicken & dumplings! This looks amazing. I’d love to take a huge, overflowing spoonful of stew & dumpling mmm…I absolutely have to try this!!
Hi Lacy! This was your only comment and I SO hear you about the cravings. I’m so glad you like my recipe! I hope you do try it and let me know how you like it! I made dumplings 3 times in 2 weeks. I need to stop. LOL
It’s comforting and delicious. Perfect for the lousy rainy weather we have here…
Dumplings make everything better… even lousy weather 🙂 Thanks Angie!
