Copycat Cracker Barrel Chicken and Dumplings (Page 2 ) | March 15, 2025

Prepare the Stock:
In a large stockpot or Dutch oven, combine the chicken broth, celery ribs, onion chunk, and chicken breast halves. Bring the mixture to a boil. Then, reduce the heat to a moderate simmer, partially covering the pot. Let it simmer for about 15 minutes or until the chicken breasts are thoroughly cooked. Meanwhile, prepare the dumplings.
Prepare the Dumplings:
In a medium mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually incorporate the milk until a cohesive dough is formed.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Roll it out to a uniform thickness of approximately 1/4 inch.
Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, cut the dough into rectangular pieces, each measuring between 1 to 2 inches.
Cook the Dumplings:
Once the chicken breasts are fully cooked, remove them and place them on a cutting board. Extract and discard the onion and celery chunks from the pot.
Introduce the prepared dough pieces into the simmering broth. Allow them to cook for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will enable the dumplings to cook thoroughly and the broth to thicken into a gravy-like consistency.
Shred the Chicken:
While the dumplings cook, finely shred or dice the chicken and then return it to the pot.
Season and Serve:
Season the dish with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve warm.
Enjoy the comforting and nostalgic flavors of this Copycat Cracker Barrel Chicken and Dumplings, perfect for any cozy meal! 🍗🥣✨
