Chicken & Dumplings

CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS is a recipe known and loved in the South, and it’s as comforting as can be. Dumplings are staples in cuisines throughout the world—from gnocchi and wontons to matzo balls and samosas—and can be sweet or savory, filled or served plain, and fried, steamed, boiled, or baked. In Southern cuisine, they usually come in two forms: rolled or dropped dumplings. And in this iconic dish, the dumplings are cooked in chicken stock where they soak up all the flavors of chicken and veggies simmering away in the pot. While this traditional recipe is a passed-down family favorite, you’ll love these five new takes that make the most of the beloved flavors.
