Grandma's Chicken N Dumplings
"Wonderful old fashioned recipe that was passed down to me by my Grandmother. These dumplings were ALWAYS a treat at holiday time or for a wonderful Sunday dinner after church."
- Ready In:
- 40mins
- Ingredients:
- 7
- Serves:
-
10
ingredients
- 5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs (well beaten)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄2 cup oil
- 4 chicken bouillon cubes
- 4 (16 ounce) cans chicken broth, plus broth from boiled chicken
- 1 whole chicken (or preferred chicken parts)
directions
- Boil chicken in enough water to cover adding the bouillon cubes when water begins boiling until chicken is fully cooked.
- After chicken is done remove it from the broth and let cool.
- Strain chicken broth, add canned broth and bring back to a boil.
- Mix oil, flour and salt until crumbly, then add eggs and enough water until the dough is stiff enough to roll out.
- Roll out thin, cut into strips, (I use a pizza cutter for this) and drop into BOILING broth immediately.
- While dumplings are cooking, debone the chicken and add to dumplings just before dumplings are finished cooking.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.

When it comes to chicken n dumplings, everything is about the dumplings. Unfortuantely these dumplings were so oily they wouldn't stick together to do anything. I had to throw this batch away, and call my friend in Florida to get her family recipe.

I love to cook. My family enjoys home cooking so it's very easy to cook for them. My oldest son is in college and always calls to let me know what he wants to eat when he comes home. I live in Missouri and work full time but my passion is cooking.
