Dutch Oven Chicken and Dumplings

February 12, 2021 by Kristin Leave a Comment

This Dutch Oven Chicken and Dumplings is comfort food at its finest! Made entirely from scratch, this dish is hearty and a family favorite everyone will enjoy!

For years, I made a shortcut version of chicken and dumplings because it was quick, easy, and to be honest, I assumed dumplings were dificult to make.

My go to version (click HERE) included a package of pre-made biscuit dough and a slow cooker, so needless to say, it was definitely the shortcut version!

Fast forward a few years and I was watching a cooking show on tv one afternoon. She was making some Chicken and Dumplings and when she got to the dumpling stage, it was incredibly simple.

Since I was intrigued with trying it myself, I added some ingredients to my grocery list and prepared myself for the challenge.

I love using my Dutch Oven any opportunity I can, so I pulled it out and set off to work.

Only a few batches of the dough were epic fails, but the last batch I made was perfection. Flavorful on its own, but complimenting the rest of the dish perfectly.

I chose to make mine as drop dumplings versus rolling out the dough and cutting perfect bites. This made it hearty and definitely fit the “comfort food” vibe I was going for.

After a bit of prep work, tweaking along the way, and allowing everything to simmer together….this Dutch Oven Chicken and Dumplings came about and was a bit hit!

I served ours with some crusty bread and it was a complete meal everyone enjoyed!

If you’re looking for a great meal option on a cold evening, give this a try! I’d love to know what you think!
