I’ve really slept on chicken and dumplings

This was my second time having it and my first time making it. I just never saw the appeal and pictures I’d seen made it look like slop and the dumplings kind of like noodles.
Well for the Saints game I made a pot. Found a very popular recipe and I must say it was absolutely delicious. The dumplings were like drop biscuits and they were so delicious with what was essentially a deconstructed pot pie.
10/10. Would make again but need to hit the gym for a while before that

That’s how I like my dumplings.

Same, just big wads of biscuits. Fantastic.

My grandma's chicken and dumplings is one of my favorites. Her dish is always so deliciously peppery. The dumplings also have this texture or chew that's been hard for me to replicate. It's truly comfort food at its finest.

Can you share where you got that recipe? That looks damn good.

Chicken and Dumplings is a top comfort food for me. We always had it at family gatherings.
I prefer the wide noodle version but I’m definitely not hating on biscuits simmering in chicken goodness.
Never even heard of the drop method until I was grown.

My grandmas and my dads were the best I've ever had. They both made homemade dumplings that were much thinner than that. I don't think I would enjoy the giant dumplings like this. Also no large veggies (and no carrots at all). Man I miss those so much

They were light and pillowy, so from a taste and texture standpoint I think you'd like them. Still, can't compete with nostalgia. That said, next time I make it I'll just make more, smaller dumplings and see how it goes.

All veggies (carrots, onions, celery, and garlic) were chopped small. Disagree on the carrots. It needs more veggies in my opinion. Next time I may add a bag of frozen peas.

My grandma and dad also cooked them this way. The carrots were in there for boiling the chicken, but all veggies were strained out before the dumplings went in. They also rolled them out and cut into strips. The most amazing comfort food!

I've never really cared for the almost noodle like consistency dumplings. The large fluffy biscuit style dumplings I've always enjoyed more. So good for soaking up that delicious broth.

I should have specified, they were rolled out but still 1/2 " thick and super dense. And I've honestly never had them any other way, so I'm sure the big balls of dough are awesome!
Now I really want a pot of dumplings on my stove...

Sort of seem like matzo balls. Not that it would be a bad thing, but I'm pretty sure I've only had the rolled out type dumplings as well.

When I boil my chicken to break apart after it cooks I will do that the day before I actually finish the dish. I'll cook the chicken until tender enough to remove the meat from the bone easily. When I cook the chicken I'll add all the same vegetables I use when making a chicken stock----onion, celery, carrots, garlic, green onions and bay leaves.
After I pick the meat off the bones, I'll add them back into the pot to continue cooking the stock until it concentrates. Then I strain it, let it cool and put it in the fridge overnight.
The next day I'll skim off the fat that coagulates atop the stock and I'll use that as the lard when making my dumplings----instant flavor. Whatever stock isn't used in making the dish is put in quart freezer bags and frozen for later use.
Like you, I roll mine out and cut it into 1 inch wide by 3 inch long strips and add that to the gravy in the pot so they cook.
Great comfort food and one of those dishes my wife and I really like.

My dad definitely used some of the stock as liquid when making the actual dumplings, but this method seems legit!
