Chicken Dumplings Recipes

Just like grandma's recipe, only with a lot less fat and salt.

Major comfort food from my childhood

This is a makeover of Cracker Barrel's Chicken & Dumplings. My aunt had created the original recipe which called for 1.75 lb chicken and whole milk. It was always one of my families favorite dinners that I made once in a while on special Sundays. Recently, I decided to try a healthier version of it with lower calories, cholesterol & sodium to see if it would pass the "family test". It did! They couldn't tell the difference. The healthy version of this recipe went down 76 calories, 31mg cholosterol & 1104 mg of sodium per serving.

On a side note, I know some people who use prepackaged biscuit dough to make their dumplings to make it easier but I don't like the taste of the perservatives because it makes the whole recipe taste like it came out of can. There is nothing like homemade!

I love the Disney family quick and easy dinner recipes. This was a huge hit with myself and my spouse

You can further reduce the cholesterol and/or fat content by using 2 egg whites, instead of the whole egg, and boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Cooking time can be reduced by boiling the chicken ahead of time.

I LOVE chicken & dumplings so when I found this I added my own spin to it and lowered the fat and calories. This is the best chicken and dumplings I've ever had which is amazing since I'm never satisfied with my cooking! You can have a full cup of this hearty comfort food for only 284 calories and 3.8 grams of fat! The sodium could be reduced if homemade biscuits are used instead of the canned biscuits, but if sodium isn't a problem this is a very fast and easy way to make chicken & dumplings!

You won't have to forfeit Mom's chicken and dumplings again. Skinning the chicken before you cook it deeps the calories and fat in check, making it kinder to your waistline.

I LOVE Chicken & Dumplings so when I found this I added my own spin to it to add homemade dumplings. You can have a full cup of this hearty comfort food for only 240.8 calories and 6.6 grams of fat = 24.68% fat content! This is a very fast and easy to make!

Low cal chicken and dumplings and easy to make!

My highly experimental chicken & dumplings. My goal is to have my oldest son, Joshua, try and like it.

This is my Grandma's recipe that I used to beg her to make when I was a kid.

This is one of my favorite comfort foods. Serve with steamed green beans and orange jello poke cake topped with whipped cream for desert.

This is a recipe from Betty Crocker. It's not creamy like a traditional recipe, but it is still VERY good!

Vegetarian feel good food

This is an adaptation of my mother's old comfort food recipe. Using less oil and subbing some of the flour with wheat bran helps shave the calories and up the fiber. And in lieu of her full fat gravy, I've opted for a low fat condensed cream of chicken soup. Look for a low sodium variety if you can find it.

Enjoy!

Just like the kind I had at the Cracker Barrel. Truly comfort food.

Chicken & Dumplings using the Ratio methods from Michael Ruhlman (www.ruhlman.com)

I invented this because I was craving chicken and dumplings, but did not want to add all of the heavy cream that is usually involved. It felt like comfort food at it's finest!

(Sorry about the bad picture taking, as I had already the food away about an hour before I took it)

Yummy low fat chicken and dumplings for those days were you just want to cuddle up on the couch with something warm and hearty!

This is a satisfying dinner that is easily prepared in about 45 minutes. I'm sure it could be done in a crockpot as well.
