Try Our Chicken And Dumplings Skillet Recipe For A Southern-Style Dinner - Tasting Table

"The skillet, which is filled with comforting aromatic flavors like rosemary, garlic, and thyme, is the ultimate combination of all three comforting chicken dishes in one. Instead of a brothy base, the chicken and vegetables are surrounded by thick, creamy gravy, made thicker by doughy drop dumplings. The dumplings, which are a simple Southern biscuit recipe designed to be boiled in the broth, become both fluffy and creamy while steaming in the warm chicken gravy."

"Between chicken and dumplings, chicken pot pie, and chicken noodle soup, it's hard to think of better comfort food than warm chicken, cream, and carbs all in one pot. The cozy mixture of tender chicken, warming broth, and soft, savory vegetables never seems to get old, especially when paired with silky noodles or a crispy pie crust. Chicken and dumplings are often served in a large pot filled with creamy broth and fluffy boiled dough,"

"For the Chicken 1 pound chicken breasts 1 ½ teaspoons salt, divided 1 ½ teaspoons pepper, divided 4 tablespoons flour 4 tablespoons butter ½ cup diced yellow onion 3 cloves garlic, minced ½ cup julienned carrot ½ cup diced celery 3 cups chicken broth, divided For the Dumplings 2 ½ cups self-rising flour 1 ½ cups whole milk ¼ cup melted butter 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves To finish 1 cup heavy whipping cream"

A one-skillet preparation merges elements of chicken and dumplings, pot pie, and chicken noodle soup into a single creamy comfort dish. Tender chicken is seasoned and cooked with vegetables such as onion, carrot, and celery, then surrounded by a thick gravy built from chicken broth and finished with heavy cream. Aromatic herbs like rosemary, garlic, and thyme flavor the dish. Drop dumplings use a Southern biscuit-style dough of self-rising flour, milk, and butter with herbs, and steam atop the gravy until fluffy and creamy. The skillet version is simple enough for weeknight cooking and well suited to cold-weather meals.
