Gluten Free Southern Chicken and Dumplings Recipe
My momma's biscuits and dumplings are my absolute favorite, so I found a way to make her recipe gluten free, and it is hands down the best Gluten Free Southern Chicken and Dumplings Recipe you'll ever eat!
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup diced onion
- ⅓ cup diced celery (about 3 large stalks)
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 3 cups water
- 4 cups cooked shredded chicken I use one whole rotisserie chicken
For the dumpling dough
- 2 cups gluten free measure for measure flour I use Cup4Cup because it's the best
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoon cold butter grated or diced
- 1 cup milk I use 2%
Instructions
- In a large pot or large dutch oven, add broth, water, celery, onion, and chicken, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat
- Make the biscuit dumplings by adding flour, baking powder, and salt to a large bowl and whisking the dry ingredients together. Then add the cold grated butter and using a pastry cutter or your clean fingers, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until a shaggy dough begins to form.
- Stir in the milk until you have a tacky dough. Knead dough on a lightly floured surface if your dough is sticky until it no longer sticks to your hands. Add extra flour as needed
- Pinch off about 1 inch of dough and roll it into a ball and then carefully drop it into the boiling broth mixture in your large pot. Continue until you have used all of the dough. Once all of the dumplings are in the pot, stir, and continue to cook for 30-40 minutes until the dumplings puff up and begin to float. If you need to add more liquid, add cold water and adjust salt accordingly at the end
- Season with salt and pepper to taste prior to serving
