Notes
Expert Tips
To make this a quick dinner, you can use cooked rotisserie chicken from a grocery store or
cooked leftover chicken from a previous recipe.
Mix the dumpling dough just until it comes together. Avoid over-mixing which can lead to
tough dumplings.
Leave the lid on the pot when cooking the dumplings. Since the dumplings cook by steaming,
the pot needs to be covered so that the steam doesn't escape.
Chicken and dumplings can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You might want to
add a touch of chicken broth before reheating.
This southern chicken and dumplings recipe can be successfully doubled if you'd like to make
a larger batch.
