Homemade Chicken and Dumplings
Chicken and Dumplings are one of my favorite meals. I love them so much, but not the drop kind. I much prefer the roll out and cut kind of dumpling.
For a long time I thought they were fussy and complicated to make, so I didn’t even attempt it, but once I gave them a try I realized just how easy they are to make and taste so amazing.
This recipe does make a bit of a mess on the counter, but it’s definitely worth it in the end. Nothing says comfort to me like a large bowl of homemade Chicken and Dumplings. Enjoy the recipe friends!
What Ingredients are in Chicken and Dumplings?
- flour

- butter
- milk
- shredded chicken
- chicken broth
How to Make Homemade Chicken and Dumplings:
Bring Chicken broth to a simmer and add shredded chicken.
While broth is coming to a boil, combine flour, baking soda and salt in a medium mixing bowl. Stir to combine.
Next, add the butter in small chunks to the flour mixture and cut it in using a fork, pastry cutter or your fingers.
Stir in milk mixing well until a soft dough forms. (You may need to add extra flour to make a soft dough that isn’t too sticky.)
Heavily flour your work surface and turn the dough out onto it.
Roll the dough out using a floured rolling pin to 1/4” thickness into a large rectangle.
Using a pizza cutter, cut the dough into 2”x2” squares.
Sprinkle flour onto a plate and add a single layer of dumplings, next sprinkle a light coating of flour onto the dumplings and repeat until all of the dumplings are on the plate and sprinkled flour.
Drop the floured dumplings into the simmering broth one at a time stirring the broth as you go so they don’t stick together.
Cook for 15 minutes or until dumplings are cooked through.
Let cool slightly and enjoy!
