    This chicken and dumplings recipe is sure to fill your belly and warm your soul. In this post, I will teach you how to make a hearty chicken stew your family will be begging for all the time!

    I had cooked up some exceptional tasting Homemade Chicken Stock, which gave me a good opportunity to make one of my husband's favorite meals, easy chicken and dumplings. He loves good old-fashioned comfort food and will eat that any time over fancy gourmet dishes.

    If you do not have time to prepare homemade chicken stock, use your favorite store-bought low sodium chicken broth. I like to use a low sodium variety so I can adjust the seasoning to my liking.

    For this recipe, I made light and fluffy buttermilk dumplings. I like the kind that is pillowy soft and baked on top of the chicken stew without getting saturated with sauce. I do make a heavier, denser version to go with soup, but this recipe is perfect for chicken and dumplings.

    You can use leftover chicken or fresh cut-up chicken that is pan-fried until done. If you prefer extra sauce you can always stir in prepared poultry gravy mix before adding dumplings.

    Why Use This Recipe:

    This recipe makes it so easy to make chicken and dumplings. You can have this prepared and ready to eat in about 2 ½ hours (which for dumplings is pretty fast!).

    How to Make Chicken and Dumplings:

    • Chop vegetables and heat oil in the pan
    • Cook until slightly tender
    • Stir in chicken stock
    • In a separate bowl, mix together stock and flour
    • Stirring constantly, add the mixture to the stock until thickened
    • Add in spices to your preference
    • Place in oven and bake
    • If you prefer extra sauce, add prepared poultry gravy mix to stew before adding dumplings.

    For Dumplings:

    • Mix flour, baking soda, and salt together
    • Using a fork, cut in butter until small lumps form
    • Mix egg and buttermilk together
    • Combine mixture into the flour mix
    • Scoop into stew
    • Cover and bake

    Not only are chicken and dumplings an easy recipe to make, but it is a huge hit among my family! It is my husband’s favorite meal and I’m sure that this easy chicken and dumplings will wow your family too.
