    -------------------------------------
    Old Fashioned Chicken and Dumplings
    4 (about 7 oz) boneless chicken breasts
    2 teaspoons salt
    ½ stick butter, softened
    1 quart heavy cream
    1 teaspoon black pepper
    2 cups flour
    3 teaspoons baking powder
    3 tablespoons oil
    ¾ cup buttermilk
    2 tablespoons cornstarch
    1 cup cold water
    In a pot add enough water to generously cover the chicken breasts. Add the salt. Bring to a boil bring to a boil and cook until chicken is tender, about 25 minutes.
    Remove chicken and allow to cool enough to handle. Cut into bite-sized pieces.
    Return the chicken to the pot along with 6 cups of the chicken stock. Add the butter and the cream to the broth. Cook over medium heat cook, stirring occasionally, for a couple minutes. Stir in the chicken. Cook over for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
    Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl add the flour and baking powder, stir well Add the oil and buttermilk and begin stirring until it forms a soft dough (like the consistency of pie dough). Knead over about 4 - 5 times. Pinch off into balls (any size you prefer) and drop into the broth.
    Let the dumplings cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally
    Dissolve the cornstarch in the cold water and stir into the broth. Continue stirring the soup until it thickens slightly, about 3-5 minutes. Season, to taste. Serve warm.

      I have to believe that Cowboy Kent could sit down in a fine NYC steakhouse to dine on a marvelous, marbled cut of beautiful beef, enjoy a nice neat glass of whiskey or scotch, and enjoy the sights and lights and appreciate that part of America just like Frank could eat chicken and dumplins around a campfire, sip a nice Kentucky Bourbon, and admire the stars in America's heartland. We aren't that different really, we are all Americans. It would do us all some good to remember that from time to time and appreciate what we have a little more, and each other.

    This is my new favorite kitchen tool! Day 1 I was going to pressure cook a meat czcams.com/users/postUgkxG-7WiT7ocumjytOpHDFt632PL0pxXRAg and potato stew, decided I wouldn't eat it that night so I went with a slow cook so I could go to bed and put it away in the morning. I love that versatility! The sauté feature works great and adds tons of extra flavor to dishes, and I can easily sizzle meats in the bottom then deglaze for some restaurant worthy flavors.Big bonus - you can cook a whole frozen chicken in about 2 hours. Amazing! I've seen a couple videos, haven't tried it yet, but I will soon!

    We cook similar food in Slovakia. Mostly it is originated from Hungary. They call it Chicken Paprikas. Grandmother of mine used to cook it into mild paprika flavored creamy but not thick sauce and pour it over small gnocchi or giant macaroni. Usually she buyed cheap one to feed her 6 kinds. Real difference is that she put in it spoon of paprika and instead of dumplings you have smaller version gnocchi. 😜

    Those look great, nothing I love more than chicken and dumplings. My great-grandmother who settled in Sentinel, OK in the late 1800's made them, and passed her recipe down to my grandma, then to my mother. The original recipe was exactly like what you are making. She used pheasant a lot because it was readily available, but as time passed chicken became the standard. At some point the recipe changed, the only difference was rolling out the dough to 1/8" thick, cutting it up in squares, and dropping them into the slow boiling pot one at a time. But I like it both ways. That broth is so good. When I was going to OSU in Stillwater, after a visit home I'd bring back a bunch of my mom's C&D's and they were the hit of the dorms. Everybody wanted some. We weren't allowed to cook in our rooms but we could have a coffee maker, and I'd heat them up in that. She also made homemade dill bread, and it went with them perfectly. I learned to make them myself and still do to this day. When the temps go into the single digits here in Colorado it's my go-to comfort food. As always, thanks so much Kent.

      Greg Murray ... Kansas is underrated by many....
      vast expanses of land great for fishing and hunting.
      .
      And if your a romantic... a great place to see the sun rise ... or sun set
      .
      The wind at times can be... relentless..
      .
      The storms ... a tapestry of lightning.. against clouds...
      .
      Vast tracts of land with few people...
      .
      Hot humid summers..
      Bitter cold and windy winters...
      .
      To know Kansas .. is to .... shhhhhh hate the place ..
      Don’t want no tourists here... harsh ..

    That’s how my grandma made it, doesn’t look fancy but taste so good…I was wanting some chicken and dumplings and I had lost my grandmas recipe; well my wife found one online that had carrots, onion, and celery. My wife is an amazing cook, but when she served it up I was dumbfounded, I looked at her and asked her what it was….it was more like chicken noodle soup than anything else; granted she used gnocchi instead of true dumplings, but there was no thickness to it. It was good but the recipe lied to call it chicken and dumplings, I have found our recipe here, Thank you Kent. I don’t need to make yours yet to know it’s going to be amazing. God bless you sir.

    I learned this from my grandmother. Ingredients, chicken, dumplings, salt and pepper. To thicken I flour them before dumping. You are correct pinch don’t roll. They will be so much more tender and cook better versus compacted. I’m grandfather now and I make this for the kids. It’s how I say, I love you.

My momma is in in-home hospice so I won’t have her too much longer so when you talked about yours and thanked her it made me cry. I’m the only one that knows momma’s famous chicken & dumplings as well as all her’s & my mamaw’s recipes bc I took the time to cook with them since my mamaw stood me in a chair at the kitchen table with a butter knife. That was it for me…I stayed in the kitchen with both of them. I never went to culinary school (wanted to but couldn’t) but I sure know the old hillbilly, Appalachia WV recipes. Always wanted & still dream of….yes, not a brick & mortar restaurant but a food truck so I can spread my love & culture with everyone, not just 1 community. Then if there’s leftover food, bless those that need it at churches, food banks, etc. Food is my passion & I can tell you love it & cherish those recipes that your momma..Cookie…or whomever passed it on to you. Thank you & Shannon for spreading the love.

      the idea is to make a more flavorful base than simply using the water you boiled your chicken in. Chicken soup made the same way would probably taste bland and insult more than a few grandmas. There is no wrong way with this, it's a great old recipe from Kent, it's beagle approved, but I can't help but think it would taste better with said improvements. Also consider today's mass produced birds may benefit from such treatment, verses back in the day the more flavorful farm raised free range birds our ancestors had access to.

    Just made this for the first time and the family is smiling for sure. Can't wait to do it up again. Thank you
