Chicken & Dumplings



This recipe is a Cracker Barrel Copycat. There is nothing more comforting (as far as comfort food goes) as chicken and dumplings, or at least that's the way I feel. Ready for the recipe?

What you are going to need:
2c flour
1/2tsp baking powder
1 pinch of salt
2T butter
1c buttermilk
2 quarts chicken broth
3c cooked chicken

Step 1: Start by boiling the chicken. Once the chicken is cooked, shred them into smaller pieces. Set aside and make the dumplings.

                1. Heat the 2 quarts of chicken broth

      1. In a medium bowl combine the flour, baking powder and salt.

      1. With a fork mix the butter along with the dry ingredients.

      1. Stir in the buttermilk with the dough until it forms like a ball.

  1. Knead the ball on a floured surface and use a rolling pin, with a pizza cutter cut the dumplings into squares (about 2” strips). Make sure you cut them about the same sizes so they will all cook the same.

  1. Place the dumplings back into the bowl. Making sure they don't stick, so dust each dumpling with a little more flour.

8. Boil the broth and carefully drop the dumplings a little at a time while continuously stirring. Cook the dumplings for about 15*20 minutes or until they are not doughy anymore. Then add the cooked chicken to the pot. Once done transfer to a bowl and serve!
