A classic recipe for chicken and vegetable broth with easy, flavorful drop dumpling cooked right in the pot. Full of flavor the way the dish originated. :)
Ingredients
- About 4lbs bone in chicken, cut up(a whole fryer is best, leg quarters second best, in my opinion) shopping list
- 4-5 stalks celery, chopped shopping list
- 1 large onion, diced shopping list
- about 1-1 1/2 cups carrots, chopped(I like to use baby carrots) shopping list
- 2T dried parsley, or 1/3 cup fresh shopping list
- 2 cups chicken stock shopping list
- poultry seasoning or your favorite season salt blend shopping list
- sea or kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper shopping list
- DUMPLINGS: shopping list
- 2 cups flour shopping list
- 1 1/2T baking powder shopping list
- 2t dried parsley shopping list
- 2 1/2t season salt blend(with salt, garlic, onion, etc) shopping list
- 1/4 cup butter, melted shopping list
- 3/4 cup milk(or buttermilk) shopping list
How to make it
- In large stock pot, place chicken pieces, onion, parsley, celery, carrots and broth. Add water to cover chicken.
- Add some seasonings(more will come later, so don't over season, now)
- Simmer for about 2 hours until chicken is very tender and cooked through.
- Remove chicken from pan onto large platter and let cool about 30 minutes.
- Once cool enough to handle, carefully remove the meat from the bones and skin and return to stock pot.
- Taste, reseason, and return to a simmer while preparing dumplings.
- Add baking powder, parsley and season salt to flour and mix well to combine.
- Add melted(slightly cooled) butter and mix slowly with fork until just mixed into flour mixture. This won't be crumbly like other biscuit type doughs, but will be slightly lumpy.
- Slowly add milk to center of flour mixture and carefully mix until just combined. DO NOT OVER MIX
- Drop dough by large spoonful into broth.
- Let simmer, covered, about 10 minutes, carefully spoon broth over dumplings, then recover and simmer another 10-15 minutes until dumplings are cooked through.

This was down home country goodness Keni! I've grown up on chicken and dumpling but always used tubed biscuits for the dumplings, which taste good, but I've always been on the hunt for homemade. I now have found the perfect dumplings, and I really ...more
