Old Fashioned Chicken and Dumplings

Soups

This old-fashioned chicken and dumplings recipe is comfort food that can't be topped!

Ingredients

7 pounds cut up chicken pieces
4 cups chicken stock
2 onions, chopped
3 stalks celery, chopped
2 teaspoons salt
1 large egg
¼ cup milk
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, divided
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 cup water
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Description

Start the soup: Place chicken pieces in a large pot; add chicken stock, onions, celery, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-low heat, then simmer, partially covered, until chicken is tender, about 15 to 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, make the dumplings: Beat egg and milk together in a large mixing bowl. Mix in 1 cup flour, baking powder, and salt.
Grate cold butter into the wet flour mixture; stir in parsley.
Dollop 6 large spoonfuls of dumpling mixture onto the top of the simmering chicken. Cover the pot and steam dumplings until fluffy, 10 minutes more.
Remove dumplings and chicken pieces to a large dish; shred chicken and discard bones. Cover and set aside, keeping warm.
For the gravy: Strain stock left in the pot, pressing the vegetables to release more flavor; return stock to the pot.
Whisk water with remaining 1/2 cup flour until smooth; stir into the strained stock. Season with pepper and bring to a boil, stirring constantly, to thicken.
Stir in chicken and top with dumplings.
Serve with parsley and enjoy!
