Homestyle Chicken & Dumplings

Bowl of creamy chicken dumpling soup with carrots and celery, garnished with parsley, beside a sign that says 'Homestyle Chicken Dumplings'.
“He gives food to those who fear Him. ” – Psalm 111:5

Tender chicken simmered in a creamy, savory broth with fluffy from-scratch dumplings dropped on top. The ultimate Southern comfort dish — like a warm hug in a bowl.

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 3 Tbsp butter
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp poultry seasoning
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ¾ cup milk (for dumplings)
  • 2 Tbsp melted butter (for dumplings)
  • Fresh parsley

Instructions

Add chicken and broth to a large pot. Bring to a gentle boil and cook until chicken is tender.

Remove chicken and shred. Melt butter in the same pot.

Add diced onion and sauté until soft. Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and poultry seasoning.

Whisk in 1 cup milk and return shredded chicken to the pot. Simmer gently.

In a bowl, combine flour and baking powder. Stir in ¾ cup milk and melted butter to form soft dough.

Drop spoonfuls of dumpling dough into simmering soup. Cover and cook 12–15 minutes until dumplings are fluffy.

Gently stir and garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Serving Size 1 ½ cups
