Description

A warm and filling gluten-free copy of Cracker Barrel’s chicken and dumplings, made in one pot for a simple and comforting meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 2 ribs of celery
  • 1/2 medium onion (do not dice or slice)
  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, each breast cut in half
  • 3 cups gluten-free flour (1:1 gluten-free flour of your choice)
  • 1 Tbsp baking powder
  • 1 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup + 4 Tbsp milk
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large pot or dutch oven, add broth, celery, onion, and chicken breasts. Bring to a boil.
  2. Reduce heat and simmer for about 15 minutes, until the chicken breast is cooked through (temp of 165 F).
  3. While the chicken is cooking, prepare the dumplings.
  4. Remove the chicken, shred it, then drop spoonfuls of dumpling dough into the simmering broth.
  5. Cook until the dumplings puff and set, keeping the pot covered while they cook.
  6. Ladle into warm bowls and serve with a little pepper on top.

Notes

Use bone-free chicken breasts for even cooking. Do not overmix dumpling dough. For better texture, use room-temperature milk.
