Chicken and dumplings recipe

[Medicine Woman]

Guys.... I am Cajun and we simply don’t fix this dish. I had a lot of cookbooks but y’all know....Ida. Help a girl out.
I know one of y’all got to have an award winning chicken and dumpling recipe. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🐔
I started just tenderizing two roosters about 5 months old in a crockpot with two onions because that’s about all I remember.

Oh brother, this thread is making me hungry.

Bisquick is a no go here. Lol, as I posted in August, the wife insists on only Martha White flour.

Here, dumplings are "shooter marble" size and thoroughly cooked.

I came here late. I boiled the chicken and onions like I said and I picked out the skin and bones. I removed most of the meat. I added celery and carrots and a can of peas because I didn’t have frozen. While I was waiting for that to simmer I made a dough and rolled it out and cut it into rectangles. Then I made a white roux with butter and flour to thicken the gravy. Then oops.... I am out of milk so I mixed some non-fat dry hurricane survivor milk (please don’t shoot me 😂) . I added about a cup. Played around texting my niece until I had a simmer. Dropped all the dumplings and washed dishes. It should be just about ready and really I think I will have enough chicken for another big dish.
DH is acting like a big baby. Has a chill. Maybe some comfort food will fix him.

I use a bisquik copycat. I like tiny fluffy dumplings that are moist all the way through. DH likes hard slimy potato dumplings or huge biscuit dumplings that are dry inside. 🤷‍♀️

what does it matter, as long as you like it? That's probably how all the great dishes happened.

I remove the bones.

I remove the bones.

me too--and i usually save some of the broth and freeze so I have some extra good flavor for next time

I make it like chicken noodle soup, only use homemade bread dough instead of noodles. I make very small rolls since they rise so much. Then put in oven to bake and brown on top.

Memories now of being really yummy and hungry for some!

I would like to see a picture!

I like tiny fluffy Bisquick dumplings also. I cook the chicken in broth, maybe add a bay leaf. I cheat and add a can of cream of chicken soup. For color I'll use some peas...maybe peas/carrots depending on who's eating it. Lots of onion and a bit of garlic. Keep tasting and adjusting spices the way you like it. I add Tony Chachere's. My son is my chicken/dumpling lover and he likes lots of flavor. I'll toss some poultry seasoning in the broth AND in the dumplings.

I need to make a pot!

I keep a bone broth pot cooking, scoop out broth and some meat to make a soup in a different pot. Or, I'm lazy and call the bone broth "soup".

Oh...so you kinda double dip. You pull out enough to make the dish and you turn the rest into one big soup starter?
