Anyone have a good recipe for the old fashioned type of southern chicken n dumplings?
Good means..without the neck, gizzards (?) and all that other stuff..bones..can't take that.
I love Chicken Dumplins, but my hubby doesn't..I think he had a bad experience with necks and gizzards :))
Any suggestions will be appreciated ...the thoughts of it now making my mouth water... :))

Maybe you might want to try Tim Mcgraw's Chicken and Dumplings recipe.
INGREDIENTS
1 small chicken
Water
Pinch of salt
2 cups of all-purpose flour
3 Tbsp. butter shortening
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 egg
Boil chicken, adding salt to taste. When tender, pull chicken from the bone and return to the broth.
Pour flour into a bowl, leaving a hole in the middle. Add 1 egg and enough buttermilk to form a doughy consistency (similar to how you would make biscuits). Sprinkle flour on cutting board. Pinch off part of the dough and roll into a thin sheet and cut into squares. Drop one square at a time into broth. Continue this until all of the dough is used. Add salt and pepper to taste and simmer until tender.
Allow the dumplings to thicken the broth until it is a creamy consistency.
you could use boneless chicken, cook it in chicken broth, soup base, or bullion cubes, for flavor. I have always cooked a whole chicken, then took it out let it cool, and took the meat off the bones, threw away the bones and skin, never used the necks and gizzards. anyway for the dumpling.
2 cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons butter
1 cup milk
and drop them in the boiling chicken broth covered for about 10 minutes or so.
if you prefer the rolled dumplings. 3 cups flour, 2 cups hot chicken broth. roll cut and put in broth for about 10 minutes. I usually add some salt, pepper, and poultry seasoning, for a little added flavor to the dumpling.
You forgot the most important part.....
Invite Homer for dinner. :P :))

I make mine this way too using a whole chicken or cut up parts but I just use self-rising flour & milk for the dumplings. Sometimes I cut up some potatoes & put in it if I'm not gonna make mashed tators. Heck got me hungry for some now so I'll have to make some soon, lol. :)
Can you add veggies to this while the chicken is in the broth?

I'm sure you can....you'd just wanna be careful that they didn't get too mushy or overcooked

When I add tators to mine, I put them in just before I put the dumplings in.
