Open in Pepper →The Pot Everybody Comes Back For
Chicken and dumplings is the dinner you can make with what's already in the kitchen — chicken, broth, a little flour. It stretches, it reheats, and it makes the whole house smell like somebody's grandmother is cooking.
Cooks on Pepper reach for this collection on cold nights, on the days nobody can agree on dinner, and when there's leftover chicken in the fridge that needs a purpose.
Every recipe here is a real pot of chicken and dumplings: Crockpot Chicken and Dumplings for a hands-off day, Super simple chicken & dumplings with rotisserie chicken and cream of chicken, a Cracker Barrel Chicken and Dumplings copycat with diced carrots, and a Southern chicken and dumplings made with chicken breast.
Quick Tips
- 1
Simmer, don't boil
Keep the broth at a low simmer, around a lazy bubble, so the dumplings cook through in 12 to 15 minutes without falling apart.
- 2
Keep the lid on
Once the dumplings go in, cover the pot and leave it alone for at least 10 minutes — the steam is what puffs them up.
- 3
Use rotisserie chicken
One store rotisserie chicken shreds down to about 3 to 4 cups of meat and saves you 30 minutes of cooking.
- 4
Thicken at the end
If the broth is thin, stir 2 tablespoons flour into 1/4 cup cold broth and pour it in, then simmer 5 more minutes.
