Easy Chicken and Dumplings
I’ve had Chicken and Dumplings on my to-do list for some time now. Chicken and dumplings are basically the best of both worlds between chicken soup and pot pie. Instead of noodles or pie crust, you’ve got some delicious and comforting homemade biscuits on top.
This recipe may seem like it has a lot of steps, but it is really very simple and most of the time is just cooking time. The dumplings only require basic ingredients. I like to season this recipe with Italian seasoning. Thyme and rosemary work well here, but if you don’t want to buy the seasoning, I’d at least use fresh thyme.
You may also note that this recipe makes a more soup-like dish rather than a thicker chicken gravy. I prefer it this way, but if you want yours to be thicker, you can add less of the broth.
Note that the very last step in the directions involves putting the pot under the broiler for a few minutes. This helps the dumplings get lightly browned on top. This step is not required, but I prefer to include it as I like the look of the dumplings a little golden on top and the slight crispiness it gives, but if you are pressed for time, you can skip it. If you do plan to stick the pot under the broiler, just make sure you are using an oven-safe pot! I love using my Le Creuset dutch oven for this recipe!
This homemade chicken and dumplings is the ultimate comfort meal!
