Chicken and dumplins 

Bless your heart! I want to run in the kitchen and make dumplings! The rule around my house is dumpling and chili season starts October 1 until the end of March! My grown kids have already started planning the first day of dumplings! We have a big party and all cook together keeping the memory of my mother and grandmother alive. Hugs to you! ♥️

A hen has a very rich chicken flavor. I learned all about how to use a hen from my grandmother. Mullins South Carolina

Hi Lori...that looks absolutely delicious and your right a real comfort food...and one you can eat all year! Thank you for your down home cooking!

Love dumplings. I mix a egg yolk and an cream in my flour

Is the grape dumplings an American Indian recipe? I’ve been wanting to try them, Hope I can find your recipe....so excited!

Like you technique. Get tired of waiting for Forrest Gump to git down to it.

Love how you started this video. Bless the hands that prepare this food. ❤️

New to your channel. I absolutely love listening to you. You have such a calming nature. Love your recipes.

I just love your videos, your home, you, your voice and dialect. I could listen all day. You keep me company while I crochet! Thanks for the videos and recipes and God bless.

You brought back fond memories of my grandma's chicken and dumplings! You solved our mystery because my grandma left her recipes but it was missing a lot of important information like when we tried we did a hard boil and stirred and didnt know what happen to our dumplings lol. I love your channel. Its so comforting and most recipes are our family recipes that lacks measuring ingredients that you fill in for us, so thank you!

You amaze me has your 'production/editing' quality!! Let's face it you amaze me with so much that you do! Love love love your channel! Dina

Mr. Brown is a lucky man. I've been making some of your recipes and my husband actually came to the table for dinner instead of the couch in front of the TV. You're like a mom to us viewers!! 💞

We always used warm chicken broth for the liquid to make the dumplings instead of milk. We rolled out like you do and made the stops the same. Instead of curt into two Icahn rectangles, we pulled them roughly to the same 2 inch size as we dropped into the liquid. My granny taught me to make dumplings when I was 9. She was born in Arkansas

I've never had chicken & dumplings. Now I feel deprived lol.

My Mom, Grandma and even my Great Grandma and I make our dumplings this same way. My folks were from the South. Chicken and dumplings are very satisfying food. Thanks for this video.

My mother in law introduced me to chicken and dumplings and I swear they were the best thing I ever ate.

Thank you for doing this video. I love chicken and dumplings, but I didn’t know how to cook them. My mom didn’t cook much so I taught myself by watching RU-vid. I’m so glad I ran across your channel. I’m going to make these for dinner soon. Thanks so much.... Melody from Cabot, Arkansas.

I feel like I’m in your kitchen watching you! I can almost smell the goodness. Mmmmmmmm

You always make everything seem so easy!💖 thank you!😉

My mom was born and raised in Arkansas so I had wonderful southern cooks with my Mom and grandmother. They made dumplins just like yours Lori and that's how I make mine with collard greens and cornbread on the side. YUM!

Hi Ms Lori, my mom has been gone for 41 yrs. I was 17. When she made Chicken and dumplins, her batter was a lot wetter than that and she would drop them by tbsp. Into simmering chicken and broth put the lid on the pot for about 10 min. And they would be like a soft roll consistancy, and I believe she would put parsley in them. The house always smelled so good. I think I'm going to whip up some and surprise my daughter when she gets home from work tonight. Thankyou for your wonderful recipes and so glad i found you on YT. God bless

confessions of a northern boy: I never knew what a dumpling was before watching this video. That looks like a delicious meal!

The beginning reminds me of my grandmother's recipe for making her own Bisquick. 2 cups all purpose flour, 4 level teaspoons baking powder, 1 level teaspoon salt and five level Tablespoons of Crisco shortening. I use the end of a whisk to break up the shortening into the dry ingredients until I get a course mixture. Use as you would Bisquick. I love chicken and dumplings! Definitely a Winter dish. Yum!

My grandmother used a similar recipe to your dumplings. She rolled her dough out flat to about 1/4" thick. Then she would cut them into rectangles about 1-1/2" x 2", and drop into the pot of chicken and broth. I do mine like drop biscuits with 2 spoons. It doesn't matter if they are flat or round,. properly seasoned they are all good!!! BTW have you ever tried using a little celery seed or celery salt in the dumplings? I do them that way sometimes. Thanks for sharing. God Bless.

My dad, bless his heart loved blackberry dumplins. I kept him a bowl in the fridge all the time. I made the for a family reunion and when I pulled the lid off everyone started telling their memories of Grandma and her blackberry dumplins. When we left the bowl was empty. Lol

That looks so good. Thank you for a awesome recipe. Just the way I like my dumplings.

Nearly 50 years ago, this West coast girl married a good ol'southern boy and I was nearly a complete failure in Southern cooking. We lived so far away from his family and there was no one to show me and Google and RU-vid hadn't been invented yet. I remember his request for rolled out flat dumplings ... I didn't even know what they were, having been raised on drop dumplings. I failed in the re-creation of the rolled dumplings, sad to say. After nearly six years of trying to create (re-invent) Southern dishes, I told him he was stuck with West coast cooking. Nice to have the rolled dumpling technique at last.

My absolute favorite meal growing up. And my mom made rolled dumplins like you 🥰

I absolutely love watching you cook. Your voice is so soothing and I love your recipes. God bless you.

When I was growing up we had dumplings just like this! All my friends has “pastry” and it’s just not the same. Much prefer dumplings!

Well...miss Lori and Mr. Brown.: I never had chicken and dumplings. My mom made chicken and noodles. But...your recipe had my mouth watering so I gave it a whirl. I’m telling you, you were right there with me on my iPad in my kitchen for the entire process from slow cooking the chicken in the slow cooker to rolling out the dumplings. Yep...and then miss Lori said something about the dumplings boiling right out of the pot...and boy howdy, some surely did. But, not many. But, I’m telling you what, it was beyond good. And, it was even better the next day. The dumpling didn’t stand a chance with me. I went after them!

I love watching your videos you taught me so much thanks for sharing

Hi Lori, This looks delicious. And I love the idea of making the dumplings more in a noodle fashion than a drop form. I always find the drop form heavy but I suspect these must taste light and airy. Thanks so much for sharing!! Love, Mary ❤️😘❤️

Thank you Ms Brown I have watched other people make dumplings but I like your receipt much better

I am a new subscriber and I love your channel. As a Kentucky woman many of your recipes are familiar.

Yummo! My favorite comfort food. I make them a lot in the winter. I love watching you cook!

Thank you for the video, I am from Canada and my Mom made the best chicken and dumplings also, our dumplings were round and fluffy and cooked in the pot of chicken broth. So yummy and brings back such good memories of my Mom

My absolute favorite! Every time I eat chicken and dumplings I think of my grandma! She was a wonderful cook!

I always made drop dumplings with parsley added to the dough and they were delicious!!!

I just started watching y’all’s videos tonight, I’m so glad I came across your channel. So Thank you for bringing me back to the South!. (I lived in Texas for a long time, but came back to Canada after losing my Steve to ALS who was born n raised in Fort Worth)…..someday I will return when it’s safe to do so… Anyways, here in Canada we have always had chicken dumplings, but our dumplings are big fluffy baseball size dumplings..lol..so when I was first introduced to chicken n dumplings in Texas, by a beautiful Southern woman named Myrtle (I miss her, last I heard she moved to Lubbock, so I’ve lost contact with her 💔😢), anyways, I was so looking forward to her chicken n dumplings, but when I saw the chicken n gravy, I could not find the “dumplings” cept these little flat square lookin’ thangs..lol (exactly what I see in y’all’s video..lol) needless to say, those were the BEST chicken n dumplings I ever had in my life. I was also introduced to cream gravy….the best thing y’all have ever invented…chicken fried steak…sadly, I miss it. In Canada we have brown gravy. Someday I will learn how to make cream gravy and have my chicken fried steak once again. 🥰😋…keep safe, stay healthy and keep bringing me back to the South♥️💙

After frozen biscuits came to our stores, When my kids were young, I set them out to thaw, then I toss flour on them, cut them up in tiny bite size pieces, toss a tiny bit more flour and drop in! Talk about easy!!

Going back & watching this video & it so reminds me of growing up. Living in the N/W of Minnesota they do the drop dumpling & I’ll stick to this method. My lady seeing this for the first time. I’ll be making this. 😎

My MoMA always made the best dumplings. She made them from scratch. We lost her in 2016. Dumplings will never be the same.

Enjoyed watching 👍 If using butter instead of crisco,how much should I use?...maybe 1 stick?

My recipe is 2c plain flour, with 1 cup of ice water really cold. Roll out the dough will be rubbery. This makes them waxy, try it this way an let me know how you like it.

Had me rolling with squirrel and dumplings...shock of my life got a bowl of what this Yankee thought was chicken and dumplings and after I ate it my Auntie told me it was squirrel. it was scrumptious.

Miss Lori, my mom always told me too much baking powder will make your dumplins boil away. She used 1/4 teaspoon to each cup of flour 🥴. Worth the experiment? God bless you and Danny❣️

I made this tonight. First time I have ever made Chicken and Dumplin's. It is fantastic! Thank you so much for your great video!

Here in North Carolina we buy Ann’s chicken pastry. We boil the chicken take it out then add the pastry strips . It’s good and then we take the chicken and make chicken salad. But yours sure looks like something I’m gonna try . Thanks

2 of my most favorite foods in the world......fried chicken and chicken and dumplins, we were raised on those! miss lori i love your videos, i could watch em all day long and right now im hungry for your chicken n dumplins! LOL love n hugs from missouri xxoo

Wow! So different from my mom and grandma's version of chicken and dumplings. They made this special dish with little round butter biscuits with a lid on the big pot of chicken and vegetables, and the dumplings were the best. Neither one ever wrote out the recipe so I never tried to make it. I like your version very much but I never have used crisco. Would butter work just as well to make to make the flat dumplings?

We called this type of dumpling a "slicker" and my grandmother always cooked it with a ham shank and potatoes. Not calorie friendly, but it was good!

Reminds of the chicken and dumplings my Granny made. It was always one of my favorite meals and now I have your recipe to make my own. Can't wait to try this. Thanks for taking the time to record this. Have a good day!

Thanksgiving is Dumpling Day Tradition in our family. Mother always made these these and used the giblets from her turkey to make the broth.

Being broke as a young mum, I would feed our entire family of four, with chicken and dumplings, using only one or two chicken thighs I would simmer with boullion , cool and harvest the fat to use in the dumplings in place of butter or shortening. That, and some flour and baking powder, made a huge pot of dumplings, and gave us all full bellies and at least one leftovers meal for lunch! Cost about 3 dollars, lol ❤️

What if you can't make biscuits?😳😄🤭 Thanks for the recipe. Mom's been wanting some.

I make my chicken and dumplings the same way you do. If I am on a time limit then I will make spoon dumplings. The big issue is I pour milk in mine at the end. Many people don't do that but I like my broth creamy. Can you give me the link to the video that tells how your homestead got the name "Whippoorwill Holler". TFS

Thank you Mrs Lori I would also like your take on mac and cheese too and God bless you too

I know you made this a long while back but I just made them for dinner. They were so flippin good. I've always use can biscuits to make them. I'll never do that again.

Never had chicken n dumplings,but I think I’m a going to make me some one day,that sure looks good🥰🙏🏻🇨🇦

Sometimes my mother would use canned biscuits to make dumplings. Just roll them out on a floured surface and cook as Ms. Lori does. So, if you need to save time this works great.

Suuuuupppper interesting! I have never seen chicken n dumplings made this way. I love it❣❣❣

A long time ago I made chicken and dumplings following a Betty Crocker recipe for my Mom. The dumplings were made using bisquick and you scoop it so it was like biscuits on top. Not strips, like yours. They tasted okay, but my Mom said she’d never seen round dumplings. I had never eaten dumplings, so I had no idea. She grew up eating her grandmothers, but never made her own. I think I now know what kind of dumplings she was used to. If she was still living, I would make this recipe for her. I’ll bet it would be exactly like she remembered from her grandmother. 🥰

Ms. Lori, i have made dumplings many times, usually drop. But made these for supper this evening. The best ones I have made for my husband in our 40 yrs together. I enjoy watching . Thank you and God bless you and Mr. Brown .

Just love you Miss Lori! I am living vicariously through you. I love watching you!!! You give such great information on all kinds of things!

Lori we would be good friends. You are so special and a wonderful cook and teacher. You have a precious spirit and you’re making these dumplins just like my momma did. She was an amazing home cook and her chicken and dumplins were the BEST! Thank you 😊

Our comfort food in the winter is potato soup. My brothers and I would come in from the cold and our mom would have a big pot ready to eat. I cheat when I make it for myself. I use some southern hashbrowns from kroger's, a small can of milnot and about a fourth of a stick of butter. I'll admit a peeled tater does taste better but I'm getting lazy in my old age.

Be still my heart! This is my all-time favorite comfort food. Looks delicious!

Mummie use to make something like this but called it chicken pot pie cut her dough in 1 inch squares and also added potatoes in...sooooo good love watching you....

Trivia - These are really a form of macaroni. More trivia - Macaroni is not pasta. Now google and study a bit, friends.

I absolutely LOVE all of your large bowls. They're so unique.

I am watching this again so I can make them again. Forgot tho right down the recipe the first time. I add just a pinch of cayenne to mine. Hunny likes it. Thank you miss Lori.

Dear Ms Lori I was wondering if you could show how you prepare your tea towels for rolling out your doughs. How much flour, do you store them with the flour, or do you use a fresh one each time? Thanks so much.

Love Love Love Ms. Lori now you got me wanting Chicken and Dumplings

Hi beautiful Sis🌸 ooh this looks so good!! exactly what we could do with now in rainy cold Sydney! i’ve never had this dish before...it’s basically our chicken noodle soup except your soft n fluffy looking dumplings look way more comforting than noodles. Nice video Mrs Lori😘

Last time i made dumplings my son and his wife who lived with us were fighting seperating and i was so upset i think i did everything backwards from dropping them into fast boiling broth to even catching myself stirring them...we were all looking forward to those dumplings and when i thought it shoukd be done went in and it was still boiling away and not a dumpling in sisig...lol...richest broth ever and simply delicious but it was certainly dumpling free.

You make you dumplings the same way my mom and I make them. My husband loves the way I make them because we don’t like it with biscuits.

OMG!! Those dumplings looked soooo good. Thank you for this video. I've already hit the subscribe button and the bell. I don't want to miss anything that's for sure!! God bless you and your hubby!!

Sis, they sure look wonderful! I remember my Grandma making chicken and dumplins back in the 60's. She would also put in new potatoes and peas! I wish I could have a bowl of them right now! Lost her in 85. I love to cook, but don''t get to much anymore.God Bless you Lori and your man! I just found your channel and subbed to it! I have been cooking for almost 50 years, and I love watching someone that cooks better than me! You BOTH are great!

Growing up we ate squirrel,now I watch them play in my yard, I could never eat them now.Love dumplings,yummy

i tried your chicken and dumplins recipe last weekend and your granola bars last night. both were delicious! i love your channel and all your videos. thank you so much for giving your time to show us how good food is made!

Where do you get your tea towel from?🥰

Can't wait to make this. I canned chicken, carrots, celery, onions & potatoes that I can add!

I always cool some broth and put it in the dumplings. and I add some celery seed! It is so good!

I used the dumpling recipe tonight. So simple and quick just like my mom made. She never had a recipe. Dad likes baby Lima beans cooked with dumplings and cornbread. You will have to try that it’s so good.

I just made your chicken and dumplings. They are sooooo good! I had so many dumpling failures that I haven’t tried to make them again for years until you gave me the courage. Thank you!

Ahhhhh my favorite food !!!! And my hubby has me beat hands down with making dumplings, so I just don't make them anymore !!! LOL I had rather have his !!! You make yours like we make ours..... YUM.... Hot cornbread and iced tea and for dessert ... banana pudding !!! A meal fit for a king !!!!

This is how my mama makes dumplins, my favorite!

Omg I love your teaching videos! You are so gracious . Thank you

MY GRANDMA USE TO MAKE EM THIS WAY AND I COULDN'T WAIT TO GET OLD ENOUGH FOR HER TO TEACH ME HOW.... THIS IS JUST HOW I MAKE EM, I JUST ADD A COUPLE PATS OF BUTTER TO THE POT.... I HAVE NEVER HEARD OR SEEN THE TEA TOWEL AT A ROLLING MAT... I'M GONNA HAVE TO TRY THIS.... THANKS FOR THE VIDEOS

I'm SOOO Glad I found a Video 📸 that you did, on Chicken N Dumplins 👍👍👍😁Now, I'm fixin' to make these tonight & tomorrow; I'm gonna Slow Cook my Whole Hen, like how you said. I'll make my Dumplins tomorrow, so my Roommate & I will have a GOOD Supper tomorrow night 😉😁👍The ONLY thing I'm missin', is YOU, Miss Lori; I'd feel a WHOLE LOT more Confident if you were standin' next to me, in the Kitchen....COACHIN' ME❤️😁😉👍👍👍💪💪💪.... I'll keep Yawl POSTED!😉

Makes me want eat these! Im semi vegetarian though 😢 so maybe I will settle for just the dumplings and broth. These look so darned good!! Yum.

I wish I could give you a million thumbs up!!! This is my favorite, well one of my favs. Our Chicken and dumplings and dressing are almost the same. I can’t get enough of you and Mr. Brown. I love seeing the way he adores you.

This is the way my Gramm made chicken and dumplings when I was a child. Miss her so much, she was such a wealth of knowledge for me. I cheat and buy Mrs. B’s frozen dumplings as I have a rather hectic schedule...but would prefer to make them homemade...can I freeze these? Love your channel BTW❤️

They look so good!! My granny kept all us grandkids while our parents worked and she made chicken and dumplings almost everyday!

I wish, everyone would start watching you!! Exspechley during this time of confusion in the world. I'm 64 years old and only been watching you now maybe 2 months now but you're attitude on cooking is so calm, don't worry about the mess ups, learn from it and move on. You're a grandma some never had or have..I think you need to swap your job from one school kitchen, to another one, Teach HOME Economics. You'd be Fantastic!!🍳🙋‍♀️

I grew up with an Eastern European grandmother who only made drop dumplings. However married a Georgia boy who loves Southern dumplings and hasn't found anyone who makes them like his Aunt. Wow! I made your dumpling recipe today and he LOVED them!!! Thank you! So glad that I found your videos and plan to try many of your recipes.

dumplings look good but i was a little surprised you didn't spoon the dough to broth like the old days. My grandma used to set a big bowl of dumplings on the table with entire cut-up chicken pieces in it-whole legs, wings, whole breasts, etc, so is pretty much how i do it. I don't know why grandma always had biscuits with them though, since the dumplings are the bread. Am enjoying your channel and subscribed. Please continue the old fashioned food where we're NOT AFRAID of butter and lard and gluten and sugar.

I’m happy with just eating dumplings, don’t even care if I eat the chicken or not. And chances are, I’ll have a bowl of warmed in the microwave dumplings for breakfast the next day. I don’t think I’ve ever rolled out dumplings, I usually make drop ones. Wish I had a big pot of them right now. The last time I made them I asked my granddaughter who was around ten if she’d like to have some…..she said now grandma, why would I want a wet biscuit????? The nerve of that child! 😂😂😂

Very yummy gonna make it your way! Do you ever put mixed vegetables in ? Were you referring to sweetened condensed milk to add Ms.Lori? If i wanted the broth thicker should I use cornstarch or will it get thicker as it sits? Sorry for all the questions Ms.Lori! Looks so delicious im hungry now!! God Bless You and Mr Brown 🙏 I would love if you would make a cookbook Ms.Lori ohhh my gosh I'd love it!!😘💛💚💛🌟🙏🙏🖐
