Ingredients
4 lb whole chicken
6 cups water
1 tsp chicken seasoning
bay leaf
thyme, sage, rosemary
onion, garlic, 2 carrots
1 tsp bouillon
4 tbsp unsalted butter
1 carrot
1/2 onion
1 rib celery
4 tbsp flour
3 tbsp heavy cream or evaporated milk ( just needed for creaminess, its already rich from the butter)
broth
chicken
salt/ pepper to taste
Dumpling
2 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp salt
4 tbsp unsalted butter
pinch thyme, garlic powder, pepper
3/4 cup buttermilk
4 tsp baking powder
If you don't know about celery leaves, you need to! It's where all of the flavor is when making broths and soups.
Oh Absolutely “Yes”..Those Celery Leaves R Everything!
That looks delish! I love to use leeks and turnips too! The more veggies, the more developed flavor!
And definitely, any roasts and stews too! Tip: Save all of your veggie and herb scraps and cuttings. If they are really small, put them into a clean tea bag (cloth or paper) or a metal tea ball for easy clean-up and not needing to scoop them out! ❤️
Teach
Yes indeed! I like to cut them up and cook them with the herbs I use for Thanksgiving dressing. They help lighten all that butter. 😂
"everybody raised differently and some people just dont know"
I absolutely adore you. No wonder you have 300,000 and some subs. 💚
Thanks love!
My dad made the best chicken and dumplings. When he was dying he made it for me one last time. I never heard him say I love you louder than he did that day. He made it similar to this and I do too, but it never tastes quite like his.
its the love he put in it that the secret ingredient❤
That's beautiful ❤️😭❤️🙏
My birthday is Oct. 12th, and my mom passed away labor day in 2023. It's just all around a tough time, and I'm remembering how she'd always cook me a special meal on my birthday and my favorite was roasted turkey legs with sweet potatoes, carrots, regular potatoes. I miss her so much!!! Her cooking was another expression of her love. ❤❤❤
I was thinking the same thing! @@CamirrasKitchen
May your dad continue to rest in peace. ❤️
I like that you drop your dumplings in the pot, this is the way my mom always did it. Saving this video to use when I make my chicken and dumpling. God bless. 😃
I believe in washing my chicken too and washing the sink too🤗
Caribbean Cultures and Countries around the World wash-off the Meat and Finesse it with Lemon, Vinegar, etc. YES, we know after the Heat from Cooking will Kill the Bacteria after we Wash Off the Grime, Slime, Blood and Crap.
So do I 👍
For sure!
Washing poultry and the sink afterward are ways to avoid food poisoning.
Same🎉😊
It is great, to see someone your age who likes to keep tradition alive😊
I love that you show proper food hygiene. That is one of the first things my Grandma taught me. It is really important, especially for new cooks.
It's SUPER important for chicken & turkey. Wash sink & all counters in hot soapy water
@@janetseidlitz5976 people really do not know. I don’t see how some people live so long LOL
She left the rubber band on the herbs she threw in the pot!
@@billybob2344 it’s so you can pull them back out
Looks sooo good 😊
I wouldn’t hesitate to eat those dumplings at your house- you rinse your chicken and clean the sink! Way to go Super Cook!❤
As the oldest daughter of an autistic mother, I always appreciated family members tips and tricks. You, showing how you wash your meat and sink, could be helpful to someone you don’t even know. Keep showing what you feel like can be helpful
I totally agree with you !! There are people that didn’t know to wash dry beans and rice. I didn’t know the rice myself lol . But I would have never ate beans not washed a minimal 3 times. So , I agree all information is valuable to someone ❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@pamelajefferies3197 exactly 🫶🏻
Always use bleach powder or liquid diluted to clean up, especially after raw chicken.
My Mom was bipolar. We had a rocky time of things. My daughter was nostalgic and said she wished she could have known my parents. She was shocked when I told her they fought like cats n dogs.❤
You shouldn't wash chicken. UsSDA FDA all say don't. Dangerousa and your kitchen gets more contaminated then you think cleaning chicken helped.
You and your grandma sure got that recipe right! My mom would have been so proud of that!
From what my 2 different grandma’s taught me? One was a drop dumpling, soft, pillowy, soak up the broth situation. The other was a roll them out a little, but don’t spend too much time, and make a thick noodle-ish dumpling. Both are delicious, both are comforting. Both take me back to fall and winter in each of their kitchens where the flavors still live that can’t QUITE be recreated? But the memories are cemented. The technology may have been upgraded, but the heart is in each of their recipe boxes that I have. May your biscuits rise and the blessing soar for all of you!🥘
@@maliaw8392 exactly the same here. Drop dumplings vs rolled flat dumplings. Both delicious, but I definitely tend to make drop dumplings more often because it’s less mess to clean up.
@@abunchahooey I agree! If I am going to go through the trouble to roll out dumplings I may as well make homemade noodles and her chicken and noodles! lol!😆
@@maliaw8392 i have actually never made homemade noodles. I know it’s not difficult but I’ve only thought about it, but never actually did it. Sam’s Club has an Amish type noodle I’ve used for years, and they are so good I couldn’t see the point of making my own, especially since I’m getting lazy in my old age. 😂
@@abunchahooey oh trust me! I have grabbed a bag of the Reames frozen noodles many a time! They are just like the homemade but without your kitchen looking like you were dusting for fingerprints! lol!😂
@@maliaw8392 dusting for fingerprints! 😂 Isn’t that the truth?
I'm 72-yrs young and I will be trying this recipe thanks
I'm 71 and she certainly got my attention! Gotta try this - looks fairly simple.....the dumplings!!!
I really love your philosophy on how our grandmas would indeed use the modern technology if it were available. My papaw used to say "the good old days is yet to come." I think there's some wisdom in that. We gotta preserve the important parts of the past without ignoring the real improvements we can get from the future. :) Great job, as always, Camirra!!
i like that saying! we can preserve the flavor and sill upgrade with the technique
@@CamirrasKitchen
Can I use milk instead of buttermilk ❓❓❓
I agree! and when I saw that chicken fall off the bone after only 20 minutes I was thinking in my head I think I'll trade in my electric skillet which I rarely use, and get one of those Instant Pots! I have limited storage so I'm careful what I have but I'm pretty sure I would use that a lot. Time to upgrade
i use the instant pot ALOT! to make broth, soup, chicken, rice, quinoa, dried beans, etc. i love it! been using it for 8 years. It will always have a place in my kitchen
"the good old days is yet to come" is brilliant, your papaw ate with that one fr
My oh my… my mouth is watering. I’d add peas too.
Without a doubt!
You got to have the peas
There is nothing better than homemade chicken and dumplings. One of my favorite foods ever!
I'm a drop dumplings girl. Big, puffy dumplings are the way to go!
Thank you for sharing! I love seeing how other cooks do things. 💜
@@susan_elizabeth yesss
Yes! Big, puffy dumplings! I never understood why those flat dough strips were called dumplings.
@@bvm3925 Absolutely! Puffy cloud dumplings are dumplings. Just shake my head over those flat things. No, never.
Same here 🤗
Mom would also make Amish flat dumplings which are about 1/4 inch thick and not as fluffy. She also taught herself how to make pasta and homemade bread. Her Mom, who I was named after, wasn't the best cook in the world, so Mom had to learn some things on her own. YUMMY!
I LOVE how you teach!
I think your Granny and my Granny would've gotten along!
😊
Yes Camirra, I make my chicken and dumplings exactly the way you do here with the exception of cooking the chicken in an instant pot because I don't own one. I slow simmer boil my chicken in a big pot. My mom, and my grandma always made their chicken and dumplings this way too. My grandma and mom are from Kentucky. I just asked my adult son if he wanted me to make this meal this weekend and he said YES! so we're having Chicken and Dumplings tomorrow. Thank you for sharing your love and talents with all of us. Have a Blessed weekend y'all!
Sams club has roasted chickens for about $5. Seasoned cooked and ready for dumplings!
U R an AMAZING teacher of the arts!...watching you create something from nothing...from scratch and not a box...OLD SCHOOL style...brings back memories of my grandmother and mother whom LIVED by a book of recipes they grew up on. Thank you for the WONDERFUL memories and the recipe. MUCH LUV!
Thank you so much 😀
Drop dumplings! Stood on a stool next to the stove and watched my Granma make this in Dayton Ohio. 😊
I watched my gramma make chicken and dumplings--the flat kind--in Dayton, OH, too!!! She would also make homemade applesauce to go with it. Talk about the house smelling good enough to eat!!!
Hey Fam! I’m from the “D” also and stood on the same step stool watching my Grandma too 🥰😆
I'm from Springfield originally. Now in Illinois though. My grandma butchered her own chickens and made these. Was amazing.
Your instructions are great!!! YUM!!! Gonna use this and enjoy a FEAST! 🥰 Thank you! 🏆
That's the only dumplings I eat spoons or drop dumplings
I love your tips for washing the meat and prepping. Cooking is one of the arts we're losing in this generation and you're doing an excellent job teaching the next one. We can always skip that part of the video ❤ ❤❤
I agree with her about showing cleaning the sink. My son is 31 years old, and he was taught life lessons like cleaning after chicken, but I’m telling you most of his friends don’t know things like that. And I love to put small amounts of carrot and celery in the dish, it looks pretty when it’s done. 😊
And I season my dumplings with salt pepper and fresh parsley, but have used dried.
And guess what…those friends survived!!
@@NipItInTheBud100 Survived? Yes, as far as I know. But I expected more from my son than just surviving. A lot of his friends are utterly useless at everything. Dirty unhygienic homes, unable to repair or maintain anything, wives tired of being their Mommies so they having marriage problems, you name it. So yes, I guess none of them have died but it’s sad if that’s all you aim for.
@@abunchahooey well, you are bringing up many more issues than just not cleaning out the sink….many of which I have seen as well! This all comes from a society where parents do everything for their children rather than teaching them how to live on their own!!
Exactly
Looks scrumptious, and I almost jumped for joy when you didn't add any cream of chicken!!
I love that you showed the cleaning part! All my cooking is self taught or learned online. My mom never taught me how to cook. God bless 🙏
I wish I had found your channel sooner. This is common sense cooking. I misplaced my mom's chicken and dumplings recipe. This is the closest I've ever come across. Love it! Thank you! Thank you! 😊😊😊
It's great to see you washing the chicken and then cleaning the sink. The ice cream scoop for the dumplings are a fantastic idea. Thank you for showing this amazing recipe.
I stopped doing that because I saw some “expert” on TV that said not to do that because it spreads more bacteria.
literally! cause I hate seeing people yapping about not washing your chicken and im here like: how about the dirt and sand and icky stuff that on the chicken? Like just wash it then wash the sink.
@@LEMINH-wq7efif there is dirt or sand on your phucking chicken you shouldn’t be buying IT!!! Unless you went outside and killed it yourself in your sand filled backyard 😂
@@LEMINH-wq7ef where tf you buyin chicken from it got 'dirt and sand' in it??
@@Xarazel from the local flee market where they gonna prep your chicken live and fresh. Literally cant get fresher from a place that is 30 second away from your house. Plucking, organ and chopping all nearby
My grandmother, who would've been 110 years old if she were still alive, made some of the best chicken & dumplings. She rolled her dough out and cut it into strips. I like how you tell people to add what they want but still show how you do it. I don't know why people criticize how someone else does theirs. Like you said, "It's your kitchen..." Thanks for sharing your recipe.
when you start off with homemade broth I already know this go be good
IKR! And that brand (Better than Bullion) is THE BEST out there I think. I used to love 2 others (boxed): Wolfgang's & Emerile Lagasie but they have become so hard to find now. The BTB has done me well, and they have SEVERAL options outside that for chicken.
I used to always do my own broth when I made chicken and dumplings. Until they came out with better than bouillon. So what I do now is get a good quality chicken broth and then add the better than bouillon to it. I’m not gonna say it’s better but it’s pretty damn close.
@@dean0247 Agreed. That product line is FIYA!
Thank you for showing all of it including cleaning the sink. You are exactly right not everyone knows! That’s why we are watching videos on how to make chicken! 😂 loved the video!
Girl you got this in spades. Definitely drop dumplings. Keep on doing your thing. And thank you Grandma 🤗💓💕💞
This recipe looks like the ones my mom made, when I was little 50 years ago...
I have been searching for a recipe like this! Thank you for posting and sharing! ❤
Literally perfect. If you've never made or tried _real_ chicken and dumplings, you won't find a better recipe. You might find some others that are really good too, but this right here, is the absolute, legit, OG, 100% authentic rendition of the timeless classic. My grandma is high fiving your grandma right now watching us celebrate this dish in its perfect form. Yum!
Thank you for showing the cleaning part of your video, even though some people are probably too embarrassed to ask for kitchen help and knowledge they didn't get at home for whatever reason.
Yes! I LOVE Better Than Bouillon! Such great stuff!!! My mother-in-law introduced me to the stuff when she got a care package for my husband when he was sick. Blew my mind! 😋 I plan to try your recipe, it looks amazing and simple to make. Thank you and thank you to your granny!
If you can find condensed bone broth....even bettre. It comes in a squirt bottle like those flavoured water things. But bettre than bullion is bettre than a cube or stock.
@@JustBill1138 Good to know. Thank you.
My mom rolled her dumplings out on a tea towel, or pillow case. It made the dumplings come out like they were dropped, they would plump up . Cut in strips but break to put in the pot, they were extraordinary
I have learned so much from your channel. Thank you from all of us who didn't have moms to teach us how to cook!
I'm 64 and never thought abt washing the chicken till now. Will do so from now on. Thanks
I love your directions and extra tips (like washing the sink). Looking forward to making this recipe. Thank you!
I love that food can be such a great uniter. Bringing people from different cultures and races together through shared experience. I am white but grew up eating nearly identical chicken and dumplings that my dad made on occasion but was a staple when grandma was around; God rest her soul. I grew up in very rural East Texas but my grandma was from Oklahoma and settled in West Texas. It's been a minute since I have made these and think I will incorporate some of your recipe with my grandma's and add it to my rotation. Thanks for sharing.
This is on the top 5 list of comfort food dishes. Only ate the rolled out dumplings made with shortening (Crisco) growing up. Great job!
I only ate my Mom’s drop dumplings made with Bisquick.
I’m laying the bed sick WISHING I could eat this right now ❤ my Aunt Verba made this too down home in Kentucky
Looks delicious! Takes me back to when my mama use to make this for us growing up. May she RIP😢🙏🏻
My grandma made homemade rolled out dumplings for her chicken and dumplins. She'd get a big stew hen and simmer that girl all day for the stock. The whole house would smell so good. And her chicken and dumlpins (or noodles) were always served over a mound of the fluffiest homemade, buttery mashed potatoes. 🥰 Absolutely delicious and so comforting. We all took a big carb-coma nap afterwards. 😂
I absolutely love that you made it in an instant pot!!!! So going to try this! Thank you 😊
🙌🏾🙌🏾 Looks delicious, too! So glad she cleans her chicken and cleans her sink -AND cooks from scratch all while making the process exceptionally efficient! Great job!
Chicken soup/broth out of the pressure cooker is just the best. You can cook your chicken in a normal pot forever but the taste is not going to be the same. Love your recipe.
Thanks for posting this I haven’t made this in so long this is one of my top 5 favorite meals am making this for a Sunday meal.
I always use a biscuit mix for the dumplings and add poultry seasoning to the mix.
I love chicken and dumplings and yours looks delicious !
Gurl! YES!
My family has always made drop dumplings.
We love them.
💖💖💖
You have the old fashion stovetop. I love those over the ceramic ones 😊
This couldn't have come at a better time for me. So many memories with my old German Granny. This was a family favorite in our house too. Back when families had Sunday dinners. Thank you for sharing. ❤
Looks just right for fall. Warming and hearty! Thank you!
You are right! They look like old school, grandma made dumplings!!! Great recipe and instructions. Very easy to follow.
I told my mom this year I was going to make chicken and dumplings l, you just inspired me. I always get nervous about messing up the dumplings but I refuse to use anything but homemade
Are the drop dumplings like biscuit dough? This recipe looks amazing,thank you❤
My momma also did the drop dumplings 😊I love that shape cloud like pillows so many memories growing up. Shocked to see someone rolling them out. Thank you for sharing & being you. 😋
Gurrrrl I love your channel ❤ Yall cook like my family!
You’re lovely. I love that you teach viewers the importance of cleaning your sink after dealing with raw meat. It’s the only time and place I use bleach - because I’ve had food poisoning before and let me tell you, that was a lesson I’ll never forget.
Im so glad to see that you show everyone that you wash your sink after washing poultry. Speaking as someone who has suffered salmonella poisoning, it is very important to clean and disinfect any surface that has had poultry or any meat on it. It's also a good idea to avoid cross contamination by not using the same cutting boards for meats and fruit &veg. I am so afraid of these germs that I practically use a blow torch to disinfect my sink!😂
I rarely ever even touch my chicken… I have plastic covering my hand or one clean hand one dirty… people don’t get it.
I use a squirt bottle of bleach.
Love your video and hints. My Gramma and Mom used Bisquick to make their dumplings. They were so light and airy. Yummy. This is such a good memory. I am 75. I wish my Granddaughter would make me some!
WOW Chef CAMIRRA 👩🏽🍳😘, your Chicken 🐔 and dumplings look soo heart warming, flavourful, mouthwatering and tasty😋. Well done 👏🏽👏🏽l pray your weekend /Week ahead be happy and blessed, stress free and peaceful. Amen. God bless your family in abundance. Amen 🙏🏽👸🏽😘🧡💐💛✨👑✨🥰
Finally I found a video with someone who knows how to make dumplings. These are the best and my grandma made them the same way. Looks delicious. None of that biscuit dough or big flat noodles. Our grandmas knew best.
Chicken n Dumplings is my all time favorite food! These looked really good
Hi girl, you look amazing. Love your hair & makeup! This recipe looks great. I don't remember eating a lot of chicken & dumplings growing up, but I remember my neighbor from Antigua making a curried chicken & dumplings and gworl that was at least 30 years ago & I still remember it vividly. So I will definitely 😁 be trying your recipe and adding some curry spice to it 😊. Thanks so much for sharing. I love all the technical info you share and still stay so "country" and true to yourself ❤
hey girl! i know curried chicken and dumplings! they make them more like elongated and sometimes call them spinners. its good!
I'm definitely heading to the store to make this today!! This false rainy fall weather feel we got in GA today makes this feel like the perfect meal! Thank you ❤
Your grandmother taught you well! That chicken and dumplings looks awesome! Thank You!
I am ready to eat, this is one of my favorite dishes. I drop the dumplings, I think they are softer. Thank you for a great presentation.
Camira you are the "Queen" of "Soul Country Cooking" ❤
My mouth is watering! I have a faint memory of my grandmother’s chicken and dumplings. I’ve tried many and yours might be it! Can’t wait to make it this Sunday!!! Yum yum yummy in my tum tum tummy!!😋
One of my most favorite meals but very few make it right. My grandma made the best chicken & dumplings & hers didn't have alot of chicken either. She grew up during the depression, so many of her meals had very little meat because either they didn't have any or had to make it stretch to feed the entire family. Chicken and dumplings was cheap to make, didn't require alot of chicken & was hearty. In my opinion, that's what makes chicken & dumplings so good. It's the taking the time to cook the whole chicken & making your own dumplings that make it so good. It's one meal I don't take shortcuts on but after seeing how you cooked that whole chicken in the pressure cooker so quick, I'm definitely trying it. Thank You for showing how it's done. 💜
Yum I need a bowl asap! Looks delicious!!! Have a great weekend.
I live in Vermont and I am from New Hampshire this is the way we always made it not with the dumplings floating in the soup not on top. My family made it this way and my mother in law made it this way to. She passed away year half ago I miss her so much!!! Arloa you are so missed.
😊
OMG I’m so glad you asked about the rolled out dumplings because that’s how my grandma used to make it and I kinda thought I was the only one! So glad you posted this recipe 😊
My Mom always washed the chicken, and we never got sick! Thank you for the recipe!!! Happy cooking ya'all! :)
I'm a drop dumpling girl. My grandma used to use a spoon and like yours her chickens were farm fresh kill it and eat it. Your recipe is almost identical to hers. Looks delish!!!
Looks scrumptious! Thank you for advice of dropping temp to low, covering the pot, and cooking dumplings 20 minutes longer. I need to add this (and some cream) to my recipe. ❤❤❤
Yum. I cant wait to pressure cook the chicken. Really like using the pressure cooker. Look delish.
Omg!!! Absolute BEST Chicken and dumplings ever! Thank you!
Yum! I made chicken and dumplings last monday..i put sage in my dumplings..next time ill add some garlic powder..my grandbabies gobble it up. ❤ i dont have an instapot..but im wanting one. Great video! ❤❤❤
Oh Lord, girl, ya killing me! THAT is the way God intended chicken ‘n’ dumplin’s to be made and eaten. Thank you for this recipe!
I want some of those sooo bad! Same way my Mom used to make dumplings. Delicious! Good job 👏
I love that you show washing the sink, because you are right, some people just don't know! This recipe is on my to try list for sure!
That's the way my mom used to make it! OMG! I sometimes think the dumplings were my favorite part of the meal.
P.S. Thanks for calling me, "Baby"...lol!
your hair looks incredibly gorgeous
Now that is my Mama’s chicken and dumplings 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾. (Minus the cream) . You have inspired me to make some VERY SOON! Peace and blessings to you and your family ♥️🌹.
It's been in our family since the 1880s ... it's plain n simple. Chicken with skin, celery, onions, carrots, Garlic powder, salt ,pepper,flour, eggs and water. Bleach that sink after cleaning the chicken....i use cleanser and water.
I love your rendition addition of the few ingredients to the dumplingflour love your video ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡
This is exactly how I make mine except we didn't use any cream or milk since the broth was so silky on it's own
My grandma waa the worst cook. I learned everything from my mom. We.always made drop dumplings. Fluffy clouds of heaven. ❤
lol, my grandma was a decent cook but she was too grumpy to bother to do it. Glad not everyone has all these Hallmark tinged memories!😄
Keep showing basic kitchen tips, you got it all on lock but some folk don't! Another banger, thanks! 👍
Almost the same way I make mine! And I'm a drop dumpling girl!
Yes sometimes you have people who are absolutely New at cooking and so showing the details including what to wash etc is just plain WISDOM. I love these kind of dumplings and have been dying to find a recipe on these - thank you.
Comfort food for decades. I add a pinch of nutmeg at the end and sometimes s splash of white wine
ok sis i see you . sounds good!
What a delicious, mouthwatering recipe! Thank you for sharing! Blessings from South Africa. 🌷🇿🇦
Im a drop dumpling kinda gal... My Mema *always* rolled her dumplings out and cut them in small strips.
It's a great fall weather type of soup.
Always rolled and cut that's how I was taught but want to make these drop ones looked delicious ty for sharing God Bless 🙏❤️🙏
looks like the chicken and dumplings my mom made! This was back in the 60's-70's. Unfortunately, when she passed no one saved her recipes. Your video brought back some wonderful memories that I've shared with my family. Now the test is to replicate your recipe.
Love this recipe & appreciate the kitchen hygiene shown. You rarely see it any more.
Thank you! My granny made this (but rolled dumplings) and it was the best. When she passed I was younger and never got her recipe. This looks exactly what I have been searching for, for years. LOVE that you don't use biscuits. People that use those are deprived LOL...
I'm so hungry !!! Could eat it all even better next day ❤❤❤yummy thanks for sharing
I say yes to everything you have done, and I am only 2:34 into the video.
❤️100%❤
Carrots, Celery, and onions, naturely sweeten meat.
Happy to have found you and will be checking out your channel right after this video.
Yum!
Thank you for showing you washing the sink! I was literally sitting here cringing the whole time you were washing that chicken, and then when you broke out the brush, I sighed in relief. 😅
Thank you for making this video. My Granny used to roll them out and cut em. I shol miss her,I was a little girl so I really didn't remember to much so I'm glad you did this. I thought I remember her doing something with lard but maybe not.lol
i think one can add what they have a taste for good job you made your nana proud
