At Cracker Barrel, I’ve had a main dish of chicken and dumplings with mashed potatoes and a side of chicken and dumplings. Not joking.
They told me it’s very common. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Slippery or puffy is the real question. Chicken and dumplings is a childhood favorite of all us kids. Our mom made rolled dumplings, flat and thick like big noodles. Yum. If you're in a hurry try using Grandma's homestyle egg noodles in the frozen foods section at the grocery. They're thick and toothsome, goes great in chicken and dumplings. Add some milk and butter or half and half to make them extra rich.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Dumplings are a side. Combine chicken and gravy it's a main. This. I make chicken and dumplings as main dish. I like celery, peas, and carrots in mine. On Thanksgiving, I bake the turkey and make dumplings and gravy for a side that goes over the turkey and dressing. |

It used to be a common and frequent dish before the ‘70s. I didn’t like it then, because the dumplings were usually not that good. My daughter (20) had it at someone’s house and said she wanted it. My first thought was: “that recipe died a deserved death. RIP.” Then I looked in the America’s Test Kitchen recipe book, and it’s there. The way they make the dumplings seems… unusual. But the whole thing is really good. Especially the dumplings. Never had them so good like that. The recipe is on YouTube.

Quote HistoryQuoted: For those who haven't tried them, Cracker Barrel makes good ones. Agreed. Never really like C&D when I was growing up. My sister loved it so we had it often. Mom sucked at making the dumplings but now buys the frozen ones from the store. Later in life I started liking it. Tried it at Cracker Barrel and was pleasently surprised. They give you way too much food when you order it. |

When my mom made it, it was always the perfect consistency and texture. The broth was just a tad thick/creamy like a watered down gravy because she added flour to it. The ONLY things that belong in chicken n' dumlins are hand-deboned chicken, scratch-made dumplins, and a bit of salt and pepper. Goddamnit now I have a wicked craving. I've seen some awful variations of it where people leave the chicken bones in, have too much dark meat, or add vegetables... fucking heathens. |

If it's not good enough to have as a main dish you messed it up. I make about 8 quarts at a time and we eat on it for days.
