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!

Bisquit makes the best dumplings...and I always cook the chicken with the celery, onion, carrots, etc. Needs a lot of seasoning! Can or two of chicken broth enhances the flavor too, instead of just water.

I just wanted to suggest after all these comments - for busy folk, try using bisquit mix with the proper amount of milk to make the dumplngs, drop into the simmering broth, cover and don't raise the lid for l5 minutes. Add chicken back (cut in large pieces and serve. I have also used canned bisquits, and better still frozen bisquits cut into 4 pieces. Also I think it is important to cook the chicken with the carrot, onion, celery added as well as a bay leaf. Lots of pepper! Try this and see if this shortcut is not about as good as going to the trouble of making dumplings. Of course, dumplings are different in different areas to suit our taste but here - we like the fluffy dumplings. Good luck!

I never write down a recipe or take time to review them. I had to review this because it was fabulous. I did add carrot, celery, onion and garlic to my chicken while cooking. I chose this recipe because I didn't want to roll out noodle style dumplings. It was so quick and easy. My husband loved it so much he actually took the leftovers to work for lunch today.

I am from the south, so our dumplings are usually noodle style. But this was great, but you have to be careful of the size of dough that you put into the steamer, it gets really big!
