I think use this as a guide, and adapt it to your own likes, by adding carrots, garlic, celery to the broth onions to flavor the chicken while boiling. It's like making homemade chicken noodle soup. And as for the dumplings, I have made them both steamed and dropped in the broth & boiled and both are excellent. And making a roux is a basic cooking skill...Happy cooking!

This is not the way they made this on the show. Hawkins post has the correct dumpling recipe. On the show you will see that they let the dumpling dough rest before cooking(it looks like proofed bread dough. I have only had chicken and dumplings when it was served as a thickened soup, not a gravy. To a roux thickened broth you can add the dumplings right into the broth to cook. note: youtube has the show for readers to watch again.

I watched the show on TV with Guy, LOVE his travels and introcduction to awsome foods. This recipe is a fun way to make chicken and dumplings, it's a lot easier than the old fashioned way I used to make mine. I add carrots, celery, onion and garlic and a can of chicken broth wile the chicken simmers. I did scoop my Bisquick dumplings with an ice cream scoop and then steamed them for 15 min in a metal strainer over a pan of simmering water. My chicken when it was done simmering, I just took it out of the pan to cool (covered and was able to break off what I needed for each serving. Made my gravy with the broth and ladeled it over the bisquits and chicken, and it is extremely easy and sooooo gooood!
