Delicious recipe for Creamy Chicken and Dumplings
Last Updated on July 18, 2024 by Daily News Staff
If you’re looking for a comforting and hearty meal, homemade chicken and dumplings is the perfect choice. This classic dish is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you prefer a creamy or broth-based soup, there are plenty of options to suit your tastes.
Ingredients:
For the chicken:
- 1 whole chicken, cut into pieces
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 celery stalks, chopped
- 2 carrots, chopped
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 1 bay leaf
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the dumplings:
- 2 cups flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1 cup milk
Instructions:
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
- Add the onion, garlic, celery, and carrots to the pot and cook until the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes.
- Return the chicken to the pot and add the chicken broth and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let simmer for 30 minutes.
- While the soup is simmering, make the dumplings. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the melted butter and milk and stir until just combined.
- Drop spoonfuls of the dumpling mixture into the soup, spacing them out evenly. Cover the pot and let simmer for 15-20 minutes, until the dumplings are cooked through.
- Remove the bay leaf and season the soup with salt and pepper to taste.
Alternative Ingredients:
- Vegetarian Chicken: If you’re a vegetarian, you can substitute the chicken with tofu or seitan. Simply sauté the tofu or seitan in place of the chicken and follow the rest of the recipe as written.
- Gluten-Free Dumplings: For a gluten-free version of this recipe, you can substitute the flour with a gluten-free flour blend. You may need to adjust the amount of liquid in the dumpling mixture to achieve the right consistency.
- Creamy Chicken and Dumplings: If you prefer a creamier soup, you can add a cup of heavy cream or half-and-half to the soup after adding the dumplings. Allow the soup to simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes to thicken.
No matter how you choose to make your chicken and dumplings, this classic dish is sure to warm you up on a cold day. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will love.

Mix a Little Luck into Your Big Game Menu
(Family Features) Picture this: Your team is down three points, but the taste of victory is just one field goal away. Sometimes, all you need is a little luck and a whole lot of guac. After all, an estimated 250 million pounds of avocados are consumed during the Big Game each year, according to Hass Avocado Board Volume Data. That’s enough to fill 30 million football helmets with guac – but filling your belly instead is a win-win for good luck and great flavor. Dip into good fortune this football season with help from Avocado From Mexico’s Guac Guru, Rob Riggle, whose visionary Good Luck Guac recipe is ready to share just in time for the Big Game. Whether you’re in it for the football, the commercials or the snacks, this recipe can score major points with your entire crew.
Crafted for fans of every team, this bold, golden twist on a favorite football snack is infused with ingredients associated with good luck – edible gold flakes and pomegranate seeds – to get you through the most nail-biting moments of the game. The star ingredient is fresh, high-quality Avocados From Mexico that offer good taste, good nutrition, and good times. Beyond delicious dips, chips and lots of fun, hosting a watch party can also be a lot of work. Make sure your hosting duties don’t create interference or put you on the sidelines with these tips: Get a jumpstart on party prep. The day before the game, tidy up your space and prepare as much of the food as you can. For dishes best served fresh – like guac – take care of the ingredient prep, like chopping veggies. Create comfortable seating and viewing areas. For a watch party, you’ll want plenty of room for guests to sit comfortably where they can see the screen and have easy access to the guac. If there’s not enough space in the living room to fit everyone, consider bringing a TV to the kitchen so people can snack and watch at the same time. Know your guests. From non-alcoholic beverage options to additional entertainment like board games and kid-friendly activities, become a next-level party host by providing a setup tailored to your guests’ needs. One thing almost everyonecan agree on: Guac made with Avocados From Mexico can be the star of nearly any party’s snacking lineup. Make it your team’s lucky day with more game day recipes at AvocadosFromMexico.com/recipe.
