A very nice blend of flavors. But the dumplings took twice as long to cook as I over crowded the surface. This needs to be in a Dutch oven that is at least 12” in diameter to let the dumplings have a little more space as they expand.

Thanks, Kimberly. Yes, though the post on my blog mentions a specific pot, this post does not. Both of the Dutch ovens I always use for this recipe measure 10.5 inches in diameter and the 18 #40 scoops of dumpling dough fit well. A 12-inch diameter pan would be great as well. AND thanks for your comment about your success with using leftover roast chicken in the recipe!

These dumplings are legit. I used them in a completely different, vegetarian dish to which I wanted to add dumplings, and these worked beautifully. Thanks!

This is a silly question... can you use a cooked rotisserie chicken and still follow the recipe the same way??

I used my left over roast chicken. I cut it up and added it right before I added the dumplings. It worked beautifully.

My family loved this! My husband always asks for chicken & dumplings and I've tried several recipes and this one is a winner.

I made this tonight, and it was a big hit! My grandmother (from Arkansas) also made the fluffy kind, and I agree with you that they are so much better!

Thank you! I'm so happy to hear of one of my recipes being enjoyed in Exeter. May the joy of fluffy dumplings spread far and wide!

This looks just lovely, almost like a matzoh ball soup! Can't wait to give it a try.
