Do you have this recipe?

Question

I am looking for a recipe that my husband's mom used to make. It is chicken or turkey with noodle dumplings. He explains it as being a thick gravy(not soup). Also he remembers her rolling out the dumplings like noodles and they expanded. They were maybe a couple inches long. He also said that he doesn't believe it had vegetables in it. She passed away and didn't leave any of her recipes and I would love to make these for him. I have searched the internet already and can't seem to find anything, the recipes I've tried haven't been what he remembers.If you have anything like this please help. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

This is a thick gravyish soup my grandma made, it has strips in it too, she would sometimes add different things to it, like celery or onion but here is the basic recipe. She would also sometimes make the strips with yeast but she said she would have to use her biggest pot when she did that.
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1/4 cup shortening
1 egg, beaten
1/4 cup milk
3 cups chicken broth
1 1/2 cup cooked chicken (cubed or torn)
In a bowl, combine flour,s alt and poultry seasoning; cut in shortening until crumbly. Combine egg and milk; stir into flour mixture just until combined. On a heavily floured surface, roll dough to 1/4-in. thickness. Cut into 1-in. strips; cut strips into 2-in. lengths. In a large saucepan, bring broth to a boil. Add chicken. Reduce heat; drop dumplings onto simmering broth. Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in a dumpling comes out clean (do not lift the lid while simmering).

I make something similar, but we call it chicken ala king in my family. I don't have a recipe, I just know how to make it, so here goes.

Boil boneless chicken - either white or dark meat - in your big pot. Take the chicken out when done and lay it on a plate to cool.
In the same water, boil potatoes to make mashed potatoes. when done, remove them.
In the same water, pour in a package of Ream's frozen noodles (unless you want to take the time to make your own noodles). As the noodles are cooking, cut your chicken into bit size pieces if you want.
When the noodles are done, check your water, you don't want enough water to be completely covering the noodles, only about half as high as the noodles. (Remember, I do this by sight) Leave the noodles in the pot, add the chicken back in. Also add 1 can of condensed milk - not the sweetened kind. Also add 1 can of cream of mushroom soup. Salt and pepper to taste.
Let this all cook for about 10 minutes - it will thicken as it cooks. Watch it closely so that it doesn't burn now that you've put the milk in it.
When thickened to a gravy consistency, use it over your potatoes.
I know carbs, carbs, carbs, but Oh, momma. It tastes good.

Sounds like a Southren dish where I'm from, here in the south we call it chicken pastry or chicken and dumplings. Here is how I make mine.

1(3-6)lb fryer chicken(or any type of whole chicken will do)
2 quarts of water
2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
2c all purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
3tbl shortening(I use Crisco it just tastes better)
3/4c butter milk

1. Boil chicken w/ 2tsp salt
2. Reduce heat and simmer 1hr or until the meat just starts to fall off of bone
3. Remove chicken from broth and cool. Bone chicken and cut meat in small pieces.
4. Bring broth to boil add pepper
5. Combine flour,soda,salt and cut in shortening add butter milk until moist.
6. Knead dough 4-5 times Pat to 1/2 inch thick pieces and drop pieces of dough into boing water. Reduce heat to medium and cook 8-10 minutes stirring occasionally. This is where you would roll dough out and cut into long strips.Use a floured pizza cutter that works great.
7. Stir in chicken and serve.

Answer 4

Are you talking about "Slippery Pot Pie"?

It's the same recipe as chicken and dumplings. The dumplings are made of biscuit dough, the difference is the dough is rolled very thin, cut into strips and placed in the boiling broth.
You can add veggies if you like.

Nothing warms the heart and soul like a good, steaming bowl of chicken soup on a cold winter's day, especially when there are dumplings in the equation! Count this as one of the comfort foods.


Chicken and Noodles with Dumplings Soup

Soup:
1 (3-pound) stewing chicken
Water
1 large onion, chopped
2 stalks celery, sliced
1 large carrot, pared and sliced
2 teaspoons kosher or coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 1/2 tablespoons chicken base or bouillon granules
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1 large bay leaf
1/2 cup loose-pack frozen peas
Easy Dumplings:
2 cups all-purpose baking mix
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
2/3 cup 2% milk
Noodles:
1 (12-ounce) package egg noodles, cooked according to package directions
Remove the neck and giblets, save in the freezer for another use or discard as desired. Wash chicken inside and out thoroughly. Place chicken into a large cooking pot. Add just enough water to cover the chicken. Bring to boil, skim off the foam that surfaces.
Add the onion, celery, carrot, salt, pepper and bay leaf; cover and simmer for 45 minutes or until chicken is thoroughly cooked. Remove chicken from the pot. Cool slightly and remove meat from the bones, discarding both the bones and skin; set chicken aside.
Add the chicken base and parsley to broth and return to a boil.
Meanwhile, Prepare Easy Dumplings: Mix dry ingredients together in bowl; add milk and stir with fork just until mixed. Mixture will be soft and slightly lumpy.
Drop dumplings into boiling broth by tablespoonfuls. (Dip the spoon into the hot broth before scooping up the batter, and the dumpling will easily slide off.) Cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 12 to 15 minutes, without lifting the lid or stirring.
Return the boned chicken to the pot and add the cooked egg noodles and peas, stirring gently so as not to break-up the dumplings.
Ladle into soup bowls and serve.
