My version of Chicken and Dumplings Southern Syle
Ok I know it is way overdue for a new entry SORRY!
This Dish is not only my Daughter's FAVORITE dish I make but one of hubbyy's favorites and definately a comfort food in our house! It's a very forgiving recipe and you can make it your own and adjust to your tastes. Enjoy!
Approximately 4 cups of cooked chicken
2 large potatoes or 4 small peeled and diced small
3-4 carrotts peeled and diced small
corn canned, frozen or fresh about 1-2 cups
a handful of finely chopped white onion
teaspoon of crushed garlic
Chicken broth
Saute the onion and garlic in bacon drippings or olive oil
then combine all ingredients to pot EXCEPT CORN
Add poultry season, salt, pepper, (and hot peppers if you like!) and about 2 tablespoons of dried dill
Bring to a simmer until the carrotts start to become tender
While this is cooking make dumplings
Take about 2 cups of bisquick mix and season it with poultry season, salk pepper, DILL LOTS OF DILL! Basically whatever seasons YOU preffer. I have tried this with many different ones and love them all!
Mix well, then add enough Buttermilk or milk until you can form little dumplings. You wont need a lot so BE CAREFUL add a little at a time! Roll into tiny little dumplings
Lower temp on Soup until it is a slow simmer. ADD corn stir, and start adding the dumplings, one by one and yes you will have to VERY GENTLY STIR AND MAKE ROOM FOR THE DUMPLINGS AS YOU GO...BE CAREFUL! when all dumplings are in and coated with the broth, Cook 10-15 minutes
after that gently stir again and cover for 10-15 minutes or until dumplings are done.
YUMMMYYYYYYYYYY!
This is just a rough recipe, I do everything without measuring but you can figure it out from this. I hope you enjoy it!
***You can also add one can of Evaporated milk right before you add the dumplings if you like a creamier version. We like BOTH!***
