WOW PhillyBoyJay!!! I just made this and it is DELICIOUS!!! My husband and daughter said it's the BEST they ever had!!! You did it again!!! The sour cream really add that special touch!!! Keep up the good work!!! Remember, you have an amazing gift from God!!! Thank You!!!

Just made this and it came out great! i used can biscuits and used a whisk to combine the flour, turmeric and water, then stirred the sour cream in its container before adding to mixture. Easy peasy and GOOD!

Damn! I’m actually impressed. So I’m now a happy new subscriber and NO ONE. I repeat NO ONE could make Chicken and Dumplings like my Granny. I feel like a traitor saying this and I’m gonna whisper.... Granny is in Heaven so I hope she forgives me for saying this but your recipe is the BOMB! Granny was born in Copenhagen Denmark and her dumpling recipe is much more dense and rich. Lots of butter in her recipe along with egg yolks , salt and pepper and garlic powder and onion powder and MSG and then the flour of course. Your recipe is the FIRST one I have ever came across that is flat out delicious. I’m looking forward to watching your other videos and trying different recipes.

I'm hooked on your channel now. You do things a little different, and you're silly and fun. Yay! I'm always glad when I find a gem like you on RU-vid. This chicken and dumplings looks amazing, I can't wait to try it. !!!

I decided to try this recipe tonight. Even though I was second guessing some of the ingredients like sour cream and mass salt quantities, I did it anyway. LISTEN, this chicken and dumpling recipe is the bomb!

The secret to fluffy dumplings is to place a lid on the pot, lower the heat and cook it for 17 minutes. I made this for my family and they went crazy over it. Even the small amount of leftovers in the refrigerator were eaten, and my family doesn't like leftovers. It's the best you will ever make.

Today will be my 2nd time making this. My family and I enjoyed this recipe to the MAX!! it turned out perfectly. I love your channel.

You have the best I say the best recipes. You make it so easy to follow. And the results are amazing. God bless you and yours. Happppppppppy MONDAY

Sixth time making this - always a hit!! Thank you, sir!!

OMG I have been looking for this recipe. I found others but the way you make your dumplings is what I grew up on thank you so so much

Yeah" I made your chicken and dumplings...they were yummy.You are a excellent instructor. Thanks for sharing.

I am WAY too excited to make this recipe hopefully this week. That turmeric and sour cream made me excited. Thank You!!

WOW!! JUST TRIED THIS RECIPE... IM THE KINDA GUY WHO'S FIRST TO TELL YOU IF I DONT LIKE A RECIPE!! PHILLY BOY JAY NAILED IT... I FOLLOWED HIS DIRECTIONS TO THE TEE... AND BAM!' THE BEST THE BEST CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS EVER!!! I WOULD POST A PICTURE IF I COULD.. PHILLY BOY JAY HOMIE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING IN THE KITCHEN!!! THANKS PEACE!! 👏✌️

I made this tonight ut came out awesome! next time I make I will use a little less salt it was just a tad bit on the salty side for me. Thanks for the great recipe!

I loosely followed this recipe and it came out great. I used cream of chicken soup instead of the sour cream mix and it was delicious. My family loved it!

He taught me how to cook .. I’ve been committed to his channel only now cooking just comes natural I can free style now . I love you PBJ you are the best I said the besttttttt!

Use heavy cream instead if you don’t like sour cream. Good recipe

Looks out of this world delicious.

lolol I just discovered you!! My lucky day!!!!!! Can’t wait to make this!!

Had me in the groove with that chicken n dumplings song!!

I really loved this video like it was not one boring part u need ur own cooking show!

Love this! Preparing tomorrow! Thank you!

Don't forget the "Vegedables" lol

That looks really really good Jay just in time for the season, goes to show you never get to old to learn you have taught me something new the sour cream will try that thanks so much the color and thickness was on point great vid.

nice recipe. I was thinking about making that myself

the white stuff on the top it's coagulated protein "albumin". I just skim it off. Next time you boil chicken, put it in a pan of cold water. Set the burner on Med and bring it to a simmer slowly. Notice I said simmer? Don't boil it, and you won't get the foamy white stuff. It also makes for a more cloudy broth if left on .

Wowwowowowow about to celebrate 420 wid dis recipe!!! That turmeric gave it a bomb color!!

Definitely going to try this one on Saturday afternoon when all the rugby training is over my children will love this :)

even though I did not literally do this but I was watering at the mouth! I must try this recipe. All the extra stuff added is my kind of dumpling!

I used tumeric and I'm not used sour cream but I'm gonna do it next time that looks so good

I made this and it came out bomb

my mouth is watering

I know you were born and raised in Philadelphia but I gotta ask is your family from the south? Because the way you cook is very different from the northerners I’ve met. Whatever it is you seem like you got it going on. I will be trying this recipe.

Looks real good must try with the sour cream

Looks and sounds amazing. Can’t wait to try it!

The best recipe

Bout to try THIS!

Try adding one egg with your dupling's mixture.😉😋

Made this today.... awesome!!!! I had to make another pot!!!

That is Kevin Hart pretending to phillyboyJay

Any one here after the Chrissy Teigen Video. I was like hmmm how do black ppl make it...obviously better!

bless your heart with those steak knives, struggling to cut...if you were close to me I would give you some of mine..

Baking soda, or baking powdet? You said baking soda, but the can said baking powder--big difference. And do you peel your carrots, or scrap the skin off, or leave it on?

Flossvman every time I see one of your videos I end up with a new favorite lol

Jay, you said baking soda making the dumplings.......do you not mean baking powder? Good job with this selection Jay!

I tried this and it taste great!

gonna try this it looks good!

Awesome!! But I think it's time for a sharp knife ;)

i like all your videos... keep them coming... special request.... can you do a video on dirty rice ;)

Newbie subscriber...you rock! Got to try your recipes.

How many cups of water... approximately?

You really did that!!!!!

Omg I'm cooking this tomorrow

hardcore hands, lazyman dumplings

OMG looks good!

mmmm that looks amazing

im not sure what i did wrong, but I followed your recipe exactly from the video and my dumplings were mush....

looks delicious

Well I am having a little difficulty describing my word choices right now so I'll do my best. As I'm typing this my family and I just finished eating our chicken and dumplings. All I can say is SWEET BABY JESUS IN A MANGER!!!! Thank you for sharing, you are very much appreciated.

looks good!! I was taught to use chicken with bone as that is where all the flavor comes from in the broth

Here's a tip I find handy when boiling/poaching chicken breasts. Add your carton of stock to the raw chicken breasts, then cover with water and simmer. You can even add the veggies too. Cuts your time in half and also infuses the chicken with even more flavor.

If you simmer chicken with the skin and bone until the chicken is tender and falling off the bone it makes a better richer broth. Just take the chicken out and let it cool before removing the bones and skin. The chicken will be very tender.

I would love to let you know that i made your chicken and dumplings.i followed every step my step. this was the best chicken and dumplings i have ever had in my life. beside from my mother's lol. my kids could not stop eating it. you are the best. i will donate some money to your go fund me i hope you make it far with your food and i will keep following you step by step

I'm so glad I found this channel tonight! U actually use SEASONING! I have feeling you're the real deal. I'm going to try this recipe soon. I've been craving old school chicken and dumplings. New subbie here ❤️

Try putting a damp cloth under the chopping board to stop it from sliding!!

man you'll have my fam speaking in tongues...I have to try this bro it looks so good

Totally off topic but you kinda sound like Kevin Hart.

I'm gonna have 2 try this recipe next! He's so relaxing 2 listen to!

"Baking powder" not soda, just clarifying because he says baking soda but the container says powder.

I followed this recipe exactly and it turned out amazing!!!! ❤🤤😋 when I say pbj has THE BEST RECIPES I mean THE BEST BABY!!!!! He never let me down!! I been using his cornbread dressing recipe for the holidays for the last 2 years & I'm making it again this year and a lot of it because it's always the first to go lol

Followed this recipe exactly, and it turned out perfect. Best chicken n dumplings ever. It was a big hit for a dinner party of ten. Thank you so much. You rock.

I made this recipe just like your video. I even sang the Chicken Noodle Soup song for my wife. She wasn’t very impressed with my singing but the Chicken and Dumplings were a hit. Outstanding recipe and you were right when you said to try waiting a day before you eat it. It tasted even better the day after. THANKS!

Baking POWDER , not soda
