THE BEST CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS
This is pure comfort food at its finest. Tender chunks of chicken and vegetables come together in a creamy, richly-flavored sauce with pillowy dumplings baked right on top. It's hearty but not too heavy and comes together from scratch in about an hour.

Steps:
- For the chicken: Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot with a lid over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the carrots, celery, onion, 1/2 teaspoon salt and about 10 grinds black pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables just begin to soften but don't take on any color, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Stir in the garlic and thyme and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the wine and simmer until completely evaporated, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the butter until completely melted. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir until it is completely incorporated and a sandy paste forms. Pour in the milk and stir until the flour has been smoothly incorporated into the liquid.
- Add the chicken and the chicken stock to the pot and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil then lower the heat to medium-low and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir in the parsley and peas and remove from the heat.
- For the dumplings: Whisk together the flour, baking powder, garlic salt, 1/2 teaspoon salt and about 10 grinds black pepper in a medium bowl. Stir in the melted butter until just combined, then add the milk and stir until a ball of dough forms.
- Use a small ice cream scoop or measuring cup to scoop 10 balls of dough into the pot (about 2 tablespoons each). Cover the pot and simmer over medium-low until the dumplings have puffed up and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 10 to 15 minutes. Divide among bowls and sprinkle with more parsley.
FAMILY REUNION CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS
My grandmother, from Jellico Tennessee, was a great cook and was truly loved for her chicken and dumplings. My mother was given her recipe and served it quite often since it is very economical and delicious. I have been cooking them for about 20 years now and have added my own personal touches to the recipe. They are to be served in a bowl, not on a plate. It is the creamy, flavorful, gravy-like broth that makes them so delicious. I haven't changed anything about the wonderful dumplings.They are fluffy and soft.They are unbelievably simple to make and just remember don't over-wet or over-work the dough. This recipe would be perfect for a family reunion or church social. It will make exactly (20) 1-cup servings. It does taste good leftover just add a little water or milk when reheating and reheat slowly on low heat. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Place the chicken in a large pot at least 7qt. I use my gumbo pot. This recipe makes exactly 5 quarts and you want a little room. Cover the chicken with 4 quarts of water. Add bay leaves, salt, pepper, poultry seasoning, one of the onions quartered, and 3 celery stalks cut into large pieces. These will cook to the point of mush and be discarded later. Put the lid on and boil on medium heat( on my electric stove it is #5) for exactly one hour. Occasionally check to make sure it is at a medium boil and move the chicken around in the pot.
- When the hour has passed turn off the heat, take off the lid and let it cool down for about 15 minutes. Then remove the chicken to a large bowl. Drain off any broth back into the pot. Cut the chicken down the center and open it up so it may cool. Set aside.
- Next I strain the broth. I like to have a nice clean broth free of bay leaves, bones, skin etc. If you notice any chicken skin stuck to the pot please remove it. Throw it all out including the mushy onion and celery .Pour your nice broth back into the pot. Chop your remaining onion and celery into nice, pretty small pieces. Add it to your broth, put the lid back on and boil on medium heat while you are making your dumplings.
- Now is a good time to clean up your mess. Once clean, you will need a nice floured surface about as long and wide as your rolling pin. If you don't have a rolling pin you can use a glass. The area should be about 15x15.
- In a large mixing bowl add your 5-cups of flour. Make a well in the middle and pour in the 2 cups of milk. Mix well with a fork until all of the flour is moistened and you can make it all stick together in a dough ball. It is better to have a little dry flour in the bowl than to have dough that is too wet. If you really think you need to add milk do it by spoonfuls. Plop the dough out onto your floured surface, roll it around so that the bottom of the dough gets floured and then flip it over and roll the top around in the flour. Use your rolling pin or glass to roll the dough out. If it sticks just sprinkle a little flour on the sticky spots. Roll it out to a 1/4 inch thickness which should cover about a 15x15 area. Push in any raggedy ends. Use a knife to cut the dough into about 1 1/2 inch strips to have nice big dumplings like mine (pictured) or smaller if you like.
- At this point take the lid off of the pot. The broth should be at a medium simmer--you need to see bubbles before adding your dumplings. Now cut each strip of dough into 1 inch squares. Throw each dumpling in the pot as you cut it. After each row stir the pot. Continue until you have cut all of the dumplings.( It is good for the dumplings to be coated with the extra flour, don't shake it off. This adds thickness to the broth.) Stir well making sure all of the dumplings are separate.Put the lid on and lower the heat. You want a low simmer.
- Now it is time to remove the chicken from the bone. Separate the breast meat into medium sized chunks.Everything else usually comes off in bite sized pieces. Please make sure you are free of bones, fat and skin. By the time you have all of the chicken removed it is time to add it to the pot.
- Remove the lid and add the chicken .Then add the cream of chicken soup, butter and parsley. Stir well. You may think your broth looks a little thin. Don't worry, it thickens upon standing. First you need to cook your chicken and dumplings a few more minutes now that everything is in the pot. I like to taste test about now and I usually add a little more salt, pepper, and poultry seasoning to suit my taste. Let this sit on the stove uncovered over very low heat for about 15 minutes. Then turn off the heat completely and let it sit for another 15 minutes. This is when it really thickens up for you. When it is cool enough and thick enough ---eat up!

Steps:
- For the chicken: Melt the butter in a pot over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. In 2 batches, brown the chicken on both sides and remove to a clean plate.
- In the same pot, add the diced carrots, celery and onions. Stir and cook for 3 to 4 minutes over medium-low heat. Stir in the ground thyme and turmeric, then pour in the chicken broth. Stir to combine, then add the browned chicken. Cover the pot and simmer for 20 minutes.
- For the dumplings: While the chicken is simmering, make the dough for the dumplings. Sift together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder and salt in a bowl, then add 1 1/2 cups of the half-and-half, stirring gently to combine. Set aside.
- Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside on a plate. Use 2 forks to remove the chicken from the bones. Shred the chicken, then add it back to the pot. Mix together the remaining 1/2 cup half-and-half and flour, then add it to the pot and stir to combine.
- Drop tablespoons of dumpling dough into the simmering pot. Add the minced parsley if using. Cover the pot and continue to simmer for 15 minutes. Check the seasoning; add salt if needed. Allow to sit for 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:
- In a large pot place chicken pieces and add the chicken stock, onion, celery and 2 teaspoons of the salt. Put heat on medium low and simmer, partially covered, 15 to 20 minutes or until chicken is tender.
- To Prepare Dumplings: In a large mixing bowl beat together the egg and milk. Add 1 cup flour, remaining salt and baking powder and mix all together. Cut the butter into the flour mixture until the mixture is crumbly. Add 1 tablespoon of the parsley and mix. In 6 large spoonfuls, drop dumpling mixture onto the top of the simmering chicken. Cover the pot and let all simmer for 10 minutes more.
- To Make Gravy: Remove chicken and dumplings to a large serving bowl. Cover and set aside, keeping warm. Strain the stock left in the pot, pressing out any 'veggie liquid'. Return stock to pot. Combine water with remaining flour, then stir into the strained stock. Bring all to a boil, stirring constantly, to thicken. Return chicken and dumplings to pot, combing all gently. Serve with remaining parsley.
