One Pot Chicken and Sage Dumplings.
One Pot Chicken and Sage Dumplings. Taking a classic and upping the flavor with caramelized shallots, slow cooked chicken, fresh sage, and creamy gorgonzola cheese. All mixed into a warming herb filled soup base with light and airy dumplings that make every bite so delicious. This is a cozy recipe that’s one pot and done, perfect for both fall and winter nights.
I returned home from a whirlwind trip in NYC yesterday afternoon to grey skies and crisp autumn air. My trip to New York was amazing. I am so excited to share details of what I was doing there soon. All I can say for now is, look out for a fun holiday video coming this December!
Usually when I get back from trips I get in late at night and have zero time for anything else other than a shower. But yesterday I got home while it was still daylight. I then headed out for a hike to move my legs after the long flight and two-hour drive home. Even though I had zero energy to cook, these chicken and dumplings were the only thing I was craving.
When the weather is cool and all you want to do is snuggle on the couch with a blanket, this is the perfect dish to make. Plus, I just needed some homey comfort food after being away.
Chicken and dumplings are another one of those recipes that my mom turned me onto. She’s all about cozy comfort foods, and chicken and dumplings are one of her childhood favorites. Since I’m all about the coziest recipes right now, I knew I wanted to make an updated version for fall.
Enter my veggie filled chicken and sage dumplings. This is one of those recipes that literally warms the soul. I know, it sounds cheesy, but it true. If you’re having a bad day, the weather is gloomy, or you just need something to make you feel good inside, this is it.
It’s perfection.
The recipe starts out a lot like a chicken soup recipe. I love to using skin on chicken breasts and searing them first before adding anything else in. In the end, we’ll discard the skin, but I love the extra layer of flavor it provides in the dish.
Once the chicken is seared, it’s time to add in all of the veggies. I used shallots, carrots, and celery, but if you wanted to add an additional veggie, my first choice would be mushrooms. Those would be great!
Now add in a good amount of chicken broth and let the soup simmer until the chicken has cooked through. If you happen to have already cooked chicken on hand, you can totally toss that in to save some time.
Well the soup is simmering away, make the dumpling, which are kind of the star. Oh these dumplings, they are so delicious and extra special. Light, airy, seasoned with fresh sage, and a little cheesy too.
In the past I’ve found dumplings to be a tad bland, so I decided to bump up the flavor with the addition of fresh sage (which is my favorite autumn herb) and bold gorgonzola cheese. The addition of fresh sage adds a warmth to each dumpling that’s truly delicious.
And the gorgonzola? I know it’s a cheese that you either love or hate, but personally, it’s one of my favorites. It has a really bold flavor and creamy texture and it can add so much to a dish. If you love it, you will LOVE these dumplings. If gorgonzola is not your thing, no big deal. You can use an equal amount of grated parmesan or manchego cheese. Either of which will be just as delicious.
The dumplings get cooked directly in the soup, making this a one pot and done kind of recipe. If you already have cooked chicken on hand, this recipe can easily be made in under 30 minutes. Either way, this is a quick cooking autumn dinner that everyone will love. You could even use it for holiday entertaining.
I have yet to meet anyone who hasn’t loved a bowl full of this. It’s warm, cozy, and perfect for eating while snuggled up on the couch, wrapped in a cozy blanket. It truly does not get better.
If you make this one pot chicken please be sure to leave a comment and/or give this recipe a rating! Above all, I love to hear from you guys and always do my best to respond to each and every comment. And of course, if you do make this recipe, don’t forget to also tag me on Instagram!

One Pot Chicken and Sage Dumplings
Taking a classic and upping the flavor with caramelized shallots, slow cooked chicken, fresh sage, and creamy gorgonzola cheese. All mixed into a warming herb filled soup base with light and airy dumplings that make every bite so delicious. This cozy recipe is one pot and done, perfect for both fall and winter nights.
Ingredients
- 2 bone in skin on chicken breasts
- kosher salt and black pepper
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 shallots, thinly sliced
- 2 ribs of celery, chopped
- 6 carrots, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
- 2 quarts low sodium chicken broth
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage, plus fresh sage leaves for serving
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 ounces grated parmesan or crumbled gorgonzola cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives, for serving
Instructions
-
1. Season the chicken all over with salt and pepper.
2. Heat the olive oil In a large soup pot over medium heat. When the oil shimmers, add the chicken and sear until golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Toss in the shallots and cook another 3-5 minutes. Add the celery, carrots, and thyme. Season with salt and pepper. Cook another 5 minutes.
3. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil over high heat. Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
4. Meanwhile, make the dumplings. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sage, and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Add the buttermilk and cheese and mix until just combined.
5. Remove the chicken from the soup and shred using 2 forks, discard the bones and skin. Set aside.
6. Bring the soup to a boil over medium-high heat. Drop a heaping tablespoon of the dough into the soup, adding about 6 dumplings to the soup at a time. Cover, and cook for about 8-10 minutes, until the dumplings are cooked through and puffy.
7. Carefully move the dumplings aside and slide the shredded chicken into the soup. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
8. Divide the soup and dumplings between bowls and serve topped with pepper. Enjoy!

this is all kinds of comfy and good!
Thank you! I am so glad you like this!
Dumplings!!!!! <3 this sounds absolutely delicious!!

Thanks Rebecca! I hope you try this!
Sounds warming and perfect for this time of year. You never say when to add the cheese to the dumplings.
Hi Cindy! Thank you so much, I will add that in! I am so glad you like this recipe and I hope you try it!
Definitely a cozy chicken dish! And I’m so glad your nyc trip went well. Looking forward to the recap 🙂
Thank you so much Liz!
So I’m thinking of making this into a pot pie. I’m thinking of halving the broth and putting it between some puff pastry sheets. Haven’t decided if I should keep the dumplings in it or not, though they do seem too amazing to exclude…what do you think???
Hey Kim! Sorry, just a little confused on how you plan to make this. I think if you are using puff pastry you will not need the dumplings. I worry it’s be too starchy with the addition of the puff pastry. Please let me know if you have any other questions. I hope you love this recipe. Thanks so much! xTieghan
A few questions:
You had said to sear the chicken, then to add veg. Then it says to add chicken, cover and cook. Are we suppose to remove chicken before adding veg? Also, the soup is creamy looking, but there is not mention of milk or cream, just stock. Does it become creamy due to the dumplings? And lastly, what is the use for Gorgonzola? It’s mentioned in the ingredients, but not the directions. I’m assuming for the biscuits? Or is that creaminess to the soup base? Haha!! I do have a headache so maybe I’m missing something. I reread it a few times to make sure I wasn’t crazy. Hahaha!!
Hey Sara! I am so sorry, the double use of chicken was a typo. There is no need to remove the chicken before adding the vegetables. The soup becomes creamy from the dumplings, there is no need for milk or cream. The gorgonzola is for the dumplings and is stirred in with the buttermilk. Please let me know if you have any other questions. I hope you love this recipe. Thanks so much! xTieghan
Hi,
Are you suppose to add the Gorgonzola to the dumpling dough?
Thank you,
Amy
Hey Amy! Yes, the gorgonzola is used for the dumplings. Recipe has been fixed. Please let me know if you have any other questions. I hope you love this recipe. Thanks so much! xTieghan
Hey! While the chicken and dumplings looks fabulous, what is the bread in the background??? Did you make that? Looks like just the kind of bread needed for dunking and I love baking bread! Thanks:)
Hey Eliza! That is a loaf of sourdough bread and I did not make it, but I do recommend a nice crusty loaf of sourdough with this. Please let me know if you have any other questions. I hope you love this recipe. Thanks so much! xTieghan
thanks for to share
Thank you!
You really got me with this one. Have to make it right away!
Thank you so much Vickie! I hope you love this!
This looks amazing. Do you think I could do this in the crockpot and at the last minute add the dumplings?
Hey Rose, yes you can make in the crockpot. I would add the dumplings during the last 30 minutes of cooking and cook on HIGH. Please let me know if you have any other questions. I hope you love this recipe. Thanks so much! xTieghan
while step two does’t say remove the chicken, I assume I should because step 3 says “add the chicken”
Hi Richard, I am so sorry. That was a typo. There is no need to remove the chicken from the pot. Please let me know if you have any other questions. I hope you love this recipe. Thanks so much! xTieghan
Note- I have copied Sara’s questions as I would Ike to know as well. Also, what can I use instead of Gorgonzola? Sara asked… You had said to sear the chicken, then to add veg. Then it says to add chicken, cover and cook. Are we suppose to remove chicken before adding veg? Also, the soup is creamy looking, but there is not mention of milk or cream, just stock. Does it become creamy due to the dumplings? And lastly, what is the use for Gorgonzola? It’s mentioned in the ingredients, but not the directions. I’m assuming for the biscuits? Or is that creaminess to the soup base? Haha!! I do have a headache so maybe I’m missing something. I reread it a few times to make sure I wasn’t crazy. Hahaha!!
Hi Trish, I am so sorry, the double use of chicken was a typo. There is no need to remove the chicken before adding the vegetables. The soup becomes creamy from the dumplings, there is no need for milk or cream. The gorgonzola is for the dumplings and is stirred in with the buttermilk. Please let me know if you have any other questions. I hope you love this recipe. Thanks so much! xTieghan
I really like this recipe. Will make as soon as I get back from CA. Bringing sourdough…should
Be a good accompaniment. For cheese, I think I’ll do parm and Gruyere.
Thank you so much Joyce! I hope you love this!
Wheere does the gorgonzola go?
Hi Susan, the gorgonzola goes in the dumplings. The recipe has been fixed. Please let me know if you have any other questions. I hope you love this recipe. Thanks so much! xTieghan
I noticed while reading the recipe several times, like everyone, when you scroll down to the recipe instead of going directly to the recipe it says to add the cheese when you add the buttermilk but when you go hit print recipe it takes the cheese out of the directions to print
Hi Carol! I am so sorry about that. I will try to figure out what is going on. Thanks!
I wish I was eating this right now. Perfect meal for a fall day.
Thank you so much Ally! I hope you try this!
I read your blog for the first time today and I have to say that this recipe was one of the best things that I have made in a long time. The dumplings with the Gorgonzola and sage were amazing! I cheated and used a roasted chicken from the grocery store, but other than that I followed the directions exactly. It was so good. Thank you for a wonderful recipe!
I am so glad you loved this recipe Carlene! Thank you so much!
Looks great- do you think this would freeze well?
Hey Jessica! I think the chicken soup would freeze really well, but I am not sure about the dumplings. I have not frozen dumplings before, so I recommend adding those to the soup after freezing. Please let me know if you have any other questions. I hope you love this recipe. Thanks so much! xTieghan
Also, you could try freezing the dumplings, but cook them first, then remove from the soup base and freeze separately in a single layer, in a freezer bag. Thaw before adding back to the soup base. Hope this helps!
As mentioned by others, the photos show a creamy or thickened soup, not a clear broth, but the recipe doesn’t suggest anything along those lines. Is something missing?
Hey Robin, because you you cook the dumplings in the broth, some of the flour from the dumplings will run off into the soup and make it creamy. Please let me know if you have any other questions. I hope you love this recipe. Thanks so much! xTieghan
Don’t throw away that beautiful seared crispy chicken skin, eat it!!! It’s such a waste to throw it out!!!
Thank you Kela!
Made this tonight. So so good! The Gorgonzola is a fantastic addition to the dumplings.
Thank you so much Holly!
This looks so good but I’m not a fan of Gorgonzola or blue cheese. Can I substitute something else or leave it out all together?
I recommend using parmesan! Please let me know if you have any other questions. I hope you love this recipe. Thanks so much! xTieghan
Yum! I was a little hesitant to make this as I’ve never made dumplings, but the recipe sounded so good and easy I thought I would give it a try. So glad I did! My husband and I just finished our bowls with gusto, so tasty and satisfying on this rainy autumn night. Will definitely make again, thank you!
I am so glad you loved this recipe Trish! Thank you so much!
This recipe is delicious!! So easy and so flavorful and in a pretty short span of time!
Thank you so much Laura!
Can you do this via crockpot?
HI! I have not tested this for the crockpot, but I here is how I would recommend doing so: I would add the dumplings during the last 30 minutes of cooking and cook on HIGH. Please let me know if you have any other questions. I hope you love this recipe. Thanks so much! xTieghan
Love this recipe,but you cannot cook a dumpling in 2 to 3 minutes. Should you correct that?
Thank you so much Mary! I am so glad you liked this!
Huge hit tonight for dinner. My five year old told me it’s his favorite thing I’ve made.
Super easy and seriously delicious!
Thank you so much Diana!
Just made this tonight and it was amazing!! I’ll have to double the recipe next time because I want more leftovers! The Gorgonzola and sage dumplings are incredible!
Thank you Megan!
This dish was so good!! Even my picky kids both had seconds of this beauty. The dumplings are to die for. Can’t wait to make this again!!
I am so happy to hear that Gina! Thank you so much!
What if I have no fresh sage- can I use dried? How much?
HI! You can use 2 teaspoons of dried sage in place of the fresh. Please let me know if you have any other questions. I hope you love this recipe. Thanks so much! xTieghan
Made this over the weekend, and while it was good, I found that I had to make a few changes to the recipe in order to cook everything. The bone-in skin-on chicken breasts did not cook in 15 minutes- more like 30 minutes. I think that chicken thighs may be better. Even with buying organic chicken breasts, it was difficult to fit everything pan. It looks like you may have used chicken thighs in the photograph?
The sage was a great addition to dumplings, but they did not cook in 2-3 minutes. They were done at about 12 minutes, after flipping once. Last, the soup was not creamy as depicted. Since everything took longer to cook, it was done in about an hour and a half.
Hey Elizabeth! I use bone-in, skin on chicken breast. Mine might be a bit smaller than yours? This would cause mine to cook faster. The dumplings should take about 8-10 minutes to cook, a little longer if you are making them larger. Did you add any cheese to the dumplings? The cheese is what makes the broth creamy. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Glad you enjoyed this recipe. Thanks so much! xTieghan
Made this for dinner tonight and it was absolutely delicious! Thank you for a great twist on an old classic!
Thank you Robyn!
So good! I am a first time dumpling maker..they were a little gluey..I returned them to the pot but they never got light and fluffy..any tips.?
Steve said I made them too big maybe!?
Anyway they tasted GREAT..we will make this again?
Hey Wendy! Hoe big did you make them? Was the broth boiling? It’s important they are about 1 tablespoon in size and that the broth is boiling. This will give you a light and fluffy dumpling! Please let me know if you have any other questions. So glad you love this recipe. Thanks so much! xTieghan
Hi Tieghan! Just finished eating this for dinner. It was delicious, so tasty. The gorgonzola brought the dumplings to a whole new level. I took your suggestion and added mushrooms with the other vegetables. Great recipe! Thank you.
I am so happy to hear that! Thank you so much Anne!
I made it, it’s still in my tummy, sooo, delicious ! I didn’t have gorgonzola so I used a 4 cheese Italian mix and parmesan 1/2 cup of each . All of my ingredients are organic / non GMO , that’s just the way I fly ! The fresh Thyme came from my Potager .
I’d love to say I ground the wheat to make the flour , but that will have to wait until my next life , although I love the idea !
I think you have to give the dumplings more time to cook . I kept a close watch and I cooked them 6-8 minutes.
I would say it yield’s enough for 6 adults or 4 children and 2 adults !
There were only two of us , so guess what I’m having for lunch tomorrow :))
Thanks for a great recipe.
P.S. I’m not sure why this type of food is dubbed comfort food , Can’t say I’m really comfortable right now , heading for a short walk on the treadmill !
I am so glad you enjoyed this recipe, Jane! Thank you so much!
Delicious! This will definitely be in the fall rotation. It literally smells like Thanksgiving to me and was super easy to put together! I’m not one for veggies and I scooped every last bit of soup up 🙂
That is so amazing! Thank you so much Jessica!
Made this last night and it was delicious! Added mushrooms and subbed in parm for the gorgonzola as suggested. We just ate some of the leftovers for lunch and I had to come here to say how much it was loved. Will be making this one again for sure!
Thank you Amanda! I am so glad you loved this!
This is my new fave chicken and dumpling soup!!!! The dumplings are light and delicious. Love the use of fresh herbs. I’ve always browned chicken first it adds sooo much flavor! Thx you for this perfect soup for the cold days ahead.
I love to hear that! Thank you so much Corinne!
Hi, I live in France and buttermilk is hard to come by here, do you think I could replace it with regular milk? Any other alternative? Thank you! This recipe sounds amazing I love sage 🙂
Hey Caroline! I think regular milk will work just fine! Please let me know if you have any other questions. I hope you love this recipe. Thanks so much! xTieghan
I made this last night. It is delicious! I love all the fresh thyme and sage, especially since I have these plants growing in pots on my patio. The dumplings are killer with the gorgonzala and sage!
Thank you so much Vickie!
So, I went ahead and made this into a pot pie anyway! I cut the broth in half and after I cooked the dumplings I chopped them into bite size pieces. Used a pie crust for the bottom and puff pastry for the top. And let me tell you, it was BOMB! Best chicken pot pie I have ever had. And it was totally not too starchy for me. It was delicious. OBSESSED. I might make it again this weekend. ???
I hope you do! I am so glad you loved this recipe, Kim! Thank you!
This sounds delicious! Haven’t had dumplings for years.
Thank you so much Danielle!
I made this tonight, and WOW! It was SO good! I loved the gorgonzola in the dumplings, and may even add more next time. This is my 3rd time making one of your recipe’s….girl, you are GOOD! I’m so glad that I found your website. Thanks for sharing such great recipes with us all.
Ah you’re too sweet!! I am so glad you loved this recipe and others on my blog. And I hope you continue to! Thank you Kristen!
You are so amazing. This is absolutely fantastic. I’m writing this in between spoonfuls while waiting for it to cool enough.
Thank you so much Victoria!
Made this meal tonight! We loved it! It was warm and cozy without being heavy, we will be making this again! Thank you!
Thank you so much Jera!
My husband generally does not love soup but I made this last night and he went for seconds! I, on the other hand am not a Gorgonzola person but I gave it a shot. I think next time I may use Parmesan or another cheese since the Gorgonzola is too much for me. I loved the flavor of the broth but I found that there wasn’t much left after filling two bowls of soup and dumplings.. my guess is maybe the dumplings absorbed the broth? Either way the flavor was great!
Hi Nicole! I am so glad you loved this recipe and your husband did as well! I hope you enjoy it even more with a different kind of cheese. Please let me know how it turns out for you! Thank you!
Made it! Ate it! Loved it! I used bone-in chicken thighs (6) so the fat was increased a bit but still so good. Thanks!
I am so glad you loved this! Thank you Julie!
So cozy and perfect for a chilly November Colorado evening! We tried this recipe tonight and my entire family LOVED it! Everything turned out perfectly, and the gorgonzola/sage put the entire dish on a whole new level. Thank you!! ♥
I am so happy to hear that! Thank you so much Autumn!
Plan on making this tomorrow for dinner and am so excited. If you get more than 6 dumplings out of the mix, should you remove them to make room for more to cook? If you have leftovers, do the dumplings do well as leftovers? Definitely hope I have extra but fully prepared to make extra dumplings again if they are better fresh made 🙂
THANKS!
Hey Susie! You should be able to cook the dumplings together, but if needed you can certainly cook them in batches! I recommend storing any leftovers dumplings separately from the soup so that they do not soak up all the broth. Please let me know if you have any other questions. I hope you love this recipe. Thanks so much! xTieghan
Made this last night exactly as written and it was delicious! Hearty and with great depth of flavor. Will definitely make again!
Thank you so much Emily!
This recipe turned out so well! The balance of flavors was perfect, especially loved the sage in the dumplings!
Thank you so much Carly! I am so glad you loved these!
Just finished cooking this! Omg. Amazing. I ended up doubling up on the chicken, and celery. Perfect soup for a rainy cold Tuesday in NYC.
Thank you so much Lauren!
This was fantastic!! I didn’t think my soup was going to thicken like yours and it absolutely it- patience is a virtue! Made the dumplings with Parm this time (and didn’t regret it one bit) and can’t wait to experiment with Gorgonzola next time. My fiancé exclaimed that this meal got him in the zone for Thanksgiving.
This was the first time I’ve made one of your recipes and will definitely not be the last!!
I am so glad this turned out amazing for you and your husband Erica! Thank you so much!!
My dumplings have not cooked all the way through by the time listed. I doubled the time and it is still not cooked. What consistency should they be?
Hi Christina! The dumplings should be soft and just slightly doughy. How large are you making them? Hope you where able to enjoy the recipe!
Just had this for dinner tonight using thanksgiving leftovers since we did chicken instead of turkey this year. I used half a normal onion instead of shallots and didn’t remove the chicken since mine was already cooked and pretty much shredded. My husband really liked the dumplings, but we both felt like it was a pretty typical chicken and dumpling recipe that we’ve had before. Nothing about the flavors really wowed us. Waiting for leftovers tomorrow to see if the flavors develop more!
Hi Sam! I hope you do love these more as leftovers. I am sorry these were not as good for you as you though, but I am glad you still enjoyed them!
Could boneless chicken breasts be used in this recipe?
HI! Yes, you can use boneless chicken breast, but the cooking time will be slightly less for the boneless breast. Please let me know if you have any other questions. I hope you love this recipe. Thanks so much!! xTieghan ?
Opening a bottle of wine and cooking this saturday. CAN NOT WAIT!
Love that! I hope this turns out amazing for you Lindsay!
This is one of the best things I have EVER made. MAKE THIS NOW!!! I added 3 sprigs of fresh rosemary, fresh garlic, and one chopped potato. Make sure to use the skin in bone in chicken breast. It adds so much flavor!! Will be using this recipe forevaaaa.
I am so glad you loved this! Thank you Justine!
Made this last night and it wa amazing!!! The only problem I had was that we only got 2 bowls out of it. There were left over solids, but not broth. I’m sure I cooked it for longer as everything takes me much longer! So more broth probably evaporated, but sounds like it should have yielded a lot more. Any tips for what I may have done wrong? I’d love to make this for more people, but don’t think doubling will work as it already filled my pot at the beginning. Just trying to figure out where I went a little wrong! Thanks! Delicious!!!
HI! it sounds like the dumplings soaked up all the broth. I would try cooking only a few dumplings at a time to ensure you keep them in the broth. Also, you can certainly just add more broth to keep things soupy! Please let me know if you have any other questions. So glad you loved this recipe and had a great Christmas! Thanks so much and happy Holidays!! xTieghan ?
This turned out to be a hit, my partner said it was one his favorite things I’ve ever made and that it was “very cozy”. I used half gorgonzola/half parmesean in the biscuits and it was still very strong blue cheese flavor, so if you don’t like blue cheese beware! I also was afraid it would be too soupy so I added a little more vegetables and only one container of broth. Right before adding the dumplings I added about 1/2 cup of half & half so that it was a little more chicken pot pie-esque rather the chicken soup-y. The fresh herbs and LOTS of black pepper are what made this amazing. If you are vegan I think you could adapt by using portabello strips, vegetable broth, and vegan cheese and milk and it probably would still be delicious. I might try that next time.
Hi Tori! I am so glad you loved this recipe! Thank you so much for making it!
Whoa!!! Amazing recipe, so flavorful and the dumplings are just heaven sent… didn’t have buttermilk but added a spoonful of vinegar to almond milk and it worked out perfectly. I will be saving this recipe for use again and again during the winter months! Thank you for sharing
Thank you so much Stephanie! I am so glad you loved this recipe!
This was absolutely delicious! Sage in the dumplings is brilliant!
I am so glad you loved this! Thank you!
Do you think this could be made gluten-free if I subbed “cup for cup” flour for the dumplings?
Hi! I am not sure, because I have never tried this with gluten free flour. If you end up trying it, please let me know how it turns out for you!
HI! I think that should be just fine, but I have not tested it so I can’t say for sure. Please let me know if you have any other questions. I hope you love this recipe. Thanks so much!! xTieghan
Do you use 2 whole, bone-in chicken breasts or 2 bone-in chicken breast halves? On the IG video it looked like you used 1 boneless breast, halved.
HI! I use 2 bone in chicken breast (about 1 1/2 pounds total). In the video I did only use 1 breast, it’s all I had. Please let me know if you have any other questions. I hope you love this recipe. Thanks so much!! xTieghan
I made this—which was wonderful but my dumplings never became puffy!! They were slimey and doughy. Don’t know where I could have gone wrong
HI there! How long did you cook? IN general dumplings are slimy, but they should be cooked through in the center. Please let me know if you have any other questions. I hope you love this recipe. Thanks so much!! xTieghan
This was delicious! I’ve just made it for dinner. Unfortunately, mine doesn’t look creamy like yours does though..how do you get it to look so thick and creamy?
Hey Judy! Mine gets thick from the dumplings cooking in the broth. Did you change anything about the recipe at all? So glad you love this recipe. Thanks so much!! xTieghan
I am just staring to cook! I made this and it was delicious!
I am so glad it turned out amazing for you, Kim! Thank you!
This recipe was so great!! I used a rotisserie chicken and a pre cut mirepoix which saved me so much time so the soup came together really quickly! This was my first time attempting to make chicken and dumplings but it was so easy and turned out amazing! I will definitely be making this again once we finish off the leftovers.
So easy and so good!!! Full of flavor!Hoping the leftovers are just as yummy!
Thank you so much for making this Cyndy! I am so glad it turned out perfectly for you!
I made this tonight for my dad (who is a picky eater) but we both loved it. The perfect soup for a cold day! This was the first recipe of yours I have made. The dumplings were to die for. I used Gorgonzola cheese and the sage brought out so much flavor. I was a little intimidated by the dumplings at first but loved how easy this entire soup was! And can be made in one pot which I love! Will be making again for years to come! Thank you!!
I am so glad you loved this recipe Lauren!
Can this be made in an instant pot?! yum!
Hey Abby, I am unsure of the cooking times for the instant pot as I have not tested it. I would recommend 8 minutes on high pressure, then releasing the steam, adding the dumplings, sealing, and cooking another 3 minutes on high pressure. Please let me know if you have any other questions. I hope you love this recipe. Thanks so much!! xTieghan
Another amazing recipe! It’s -25 degrees (-55 windchill) in Minneapolis today so I stayed home from work and made this. It’s incredible and perfect for this frigid weather! I used Parmesan this time but will try Gorgonzola next! Thank you so much for all your awesome recipes!
I am so glad you loved this Emily! I hope you’re staying warm!!
The PERFECT meal on a cold day. It was so delicious, and I highly recommend following the recipe and measurements to a T. It is fabulous and the flavors are so cozy and comforting. My first time making dumplings, so that was fun and interestinf!! I would make this again and again. My 2.5 year old has a runny nose, and he ate it right up. Husband loved it. Looking forward to leftovers.
Thank you so much Katelyn! I am so glad you loved this recipe!
My mom has been making chicken and dumplings since I was a kid. This was my first time making it from a different recipe – hands down this was the BEST I’ve ever had! Perfection in every bite. The gorgonzola and fresh herbs were clutch. Thank you, I’ll be sharing this recipe with my beloved mother.
Thank you so much Stephanie! I am so glad you loved this recipe!
The best chicken & dumplings I’ve ever had in my life. Gifting this to all my new mama friends who don’t want to cook!
That is so sweet! Thank you so much Emily! xTieghan
Yet another incredible recipe! This is comforting in every way. I have been on a roll with making your recipes, and i just can’t get enough! This one especially is a new favorite. Thanks for putting out such great recipes! You’re easily my favorite source to go to for new recipes because they never disappoint!
Thank you so much Claire! xTieghan
I’ve made this twice. Both times turned out perfect ! Next time I might add a little more stock, had several extra dumplings. Super tasty and pretty easy! Thanks! Been loving all of your posts, the kale and sweet potato salad, yum
Thank you so much Patsy! xTieghan
I savor, cause I found exactly what I was taking a look for.
You have ended my four day lengthy hunt! God Bless you man. Have a nice
day. Bye
Thank you! I am so glad you like this! xTieghan
Hurrah! At last I got a blog from where I be able to genuinely obtain valuable data concerning my study and knowledge.
Thank you! xTieghan
Dumplings were woefully under salted.
Hi Daniel! I hope you enjoyed these dumplings! I always recommend adding more salt at the end if it is not enough for you! Let me know if you have any questions about the recipe! xTieghan
Just made this last night!!! Delicious!!!! I love your recipes!!!
Thank you Heather! xTieghan
Can I use boneless, skinless breasts for this recipe?
Hi! Yes, that works well. Please let me know if you have any other questions. I hope you love this recipe! Thank you! xTieghan
Good Morning..
I think a typo ..the servings say 46- I assume it is 4-6 ? correct.
Looks fantastic. I will give this a try next week after my long trek to the Groc store. And do it in Slow Cook in the Instapot..and the directions then for cooking the dumplings you shared.
Thanks T..
Hey Leslie! I am so sorry about that. Yes, it is 4-6. Please let me know if you have any other questions. I hope you love this recipe! Thank you! xTieghan ??
I made this tonight and it was phenomenal! I love how I can follow your recipes to the T and they turn out flavorful and perfect! Usually I have to doctor recipes up to make them how I like them, but yours are always so delicious! I loved the delicate dumplings and flavor of the soup. Super easy and yummy!
That is so sweet to hear! Thank you so much Lexi!! xTieghan
Delicious!
Thank you Megan! xTieghan
Made this recipe and it was so amazing and simple. I added a bit of heavy cream to the broth to make it a bit creamier.
Amazing! I am so glad you loved this Sara! Thank you! xTieghan
This was incredibly tasty! I never would have thought to put gorgonzola in the dumplings and it really brought the dish to the next level. I added mushrooms which was great but they soaked up a lot of the broth so next time I’ll adjust accordingly. I especially loved that the ingredients were pretty simple and that it all cooked up in one pot. Yum! Yum!
I am so glad you loved this so much Jewels! Thank you so much! xTieghan
Loved this recipe and had fun making a vegetarian version with “no-chicken” broth and my fave mock chicken. Turned out amazing – will definitely keep this in the rotation for an easy, cozy meal this winter.
I am so glad this turned out so well for you Sam! Thank you so much! xTieghan
Seriously? This is just super scrumptious! After having polished off his THIRD bowl of this soup, I found my husband hanging over the soup pot, just digging in for more, apparently tired of bothering with a bowl at all. Your gift of flavour pairing is insane. The gorgonzola is genius.
Haha wow that is so amazing!! I am so glad you both loved this Beverly! Thank you! xTieghan
Made this tonight and my entire family has raved about how delicious this is!! So delicious ❤️
That is so great! Thank you so much for trying this Andra! xTieghan
This was delicious and super easy to make! Made clean up easy too (1 pot, 1 bowl, and a cutting board was all we needed). We used parmesan but are going to try gorgonzola next time. Thank you for this!
Thank you Blair! I am so glad you enjoyed this! xTieghan
I’ve made this twice now with rave reviews. The second time I doubled the recipe for the leftovers. It’s even better for lunches later in the week! So flavorful and has given us all a different opinion of “chicken and dumplings”!
I am so glad this turned out so well for you Pamela! Thank you so much! xTieghan
The dumplings turned out like glue. Maybe because there should be butter added?
Something is missing in this dumpling recipe.
Hi Anderson, I am sorry you had trouble. There shouldn’t be any butter in the dumplings. Was there anything you did differently at all? Any ingredients different? Method of cooking? Any info will be helpful to help me problem solve and figure out what might be happening for you. It’s hard to know without knowing any details. Hope I can help you! xTieghan
Wonderful recipe. Delicious dumplings and full of flavor! Definitely a keeper! Thank you for sharing
Thank you so much for trying this Sherrie! xTieghan
I’m
Bummed that my dumplings aren’t coming out. The rest of the recipe smellls great but the dumplings are disappointing. Made the buttermilk. Should have purchased it? (I used skim + rice vinegar)
Hi Margot, I doubt it was the homemade buttermilk that caused this issue, but I can’t really know for sure. Was there anything you did differently at all other than the buttermilk? Any ingredients different? Any info will be helpful to help me problem solve and figure out what might be happening for you. It’s hard to know without knowing any details. Hope I can help you! xTieghan
Hi Tieghan, this recipe is amazing! It’s so delicious and so easy to prepare. My whole family just loved it and they’re already asking that I make is again. I do have a question though. Some of the dumplings were very firm while others were so soft and delicious, just like little clouds. Can you tell me what I may have done wrong?
Thanks so much for the delicious recipe! Since making this recipe I’ve purchased your Half Baked Harvest Super Simple cookbook. I’ve made the No-Knead Bread and Pizza dough several times, as well as the Harvest Butternut Squash and Apple Pizza. All delicious!!! Thanks again!
Hey Wnedy! Dod you make all the dumplings the same size or where some larger than others? My guess is that the larger ones stayed soft, but the smaller ones got a bit overcooked. Next time, try making them all as similar in size as possible. I think that should really help!
Please let me know if you have any other questions. I hope you love this recipe! Thank you!! xTieghan
My third recipe I’ve made from your page (all have been amazing) but let me just say this is the best soup I’ve ever had!!
Love that so much! Thank you Kelsey! xTieghan
The recipe calls for fresh herbs. Can I use dry? And if so, is there a general measurement rule you use for dry?
Hey Karen,
Yes you can use dry herbs. A general rule of thumb is 1 tablespoon of fresh herbs to 1 teaspoon of dried herbs. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
This looks so good! Would this recipe still work if I subbed shredded rotisserie chicken instead of the chicken breast?
Hey Laura,
That would work just fine! I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
I absolutely loved this soup. It was my first time making chicken and dumpling soup and it was so tasty. Thank
you for the easy and amazing recipe! My new favorite soup.
Thank you so much Sam! xTieghan
Hi! Can’t wait to try this. Do you think I could substitute the buttermilk for almond milk? If not, any other substitution suggestions for it? Thanks!
Hey Lisa,
I think that would work just fine. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
Absolutely delicious. Although mine didnt go creamy like the above picture but I opted for the parmesan instead of gorgonzola. Will be making again!
Love that! Thank you so much Gemma! xTieghan
Thank you for this great recipe Teagan! Made this today so easy had almost all the ingredients in my house already. I served it up to some older family members and they luved it too! I doubled the recipe!
So delicious and comforting to eat.
☺️
Amazing! I am really glad this turned out so well for you all! Thank you for trying it! xTieghan
Do you recommend a dairy free alternative for buttermilk replacement in this recipe? Thanks!
Hey Amanda,
I would use full fat canned coconut milk. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
This was so good! I added parsnips also. Used Parmesan cheese instead of Gorgonzola.. Loved the dumplings! Will definitely be making this again.! Thanks 😊
Thank you so much Renee! I am really glad this recipe turned out so well for you! xTieghan
can these dumplings be made with gluten free flour?
Hi Nat! I have not tried that actually, so sorry! If you try these with GF flour, please let me know how they turn out for you! xTieghan
I have always mad my dumplings much like you do, sans the sage and cheese. Am on a trip right now, but as soon as I get back to Texas, I plan to make your recipe. That sounds marvelous with fresh sage and cheese. Will let you know how we liked it, but I think it will be a success! Thanks so much for this updated recipe on a classic.
Thank you so much! I am really glad this recipe turned out so well for you! xTieghan
Looks amazing 😉
Video has wine and broth?
Hey Vickie,
I used a little white wine to add some depth of flavor, you can do that or use all broth. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
Delicious!! My 6yo loved it and asked me to pack the soup in her school lunch tomorrow. She also said it was the best soup that I have ever made. I agree! A flavorful recipe!
Wow that is amazing! I am really glad this turned out so well for you, Dawn! xTieghan
Could you substitute buttermilk for something dairy free??
Hey Colleen,
I would use full fat canned coconut milk. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
Any suggestions for a substitution of the flour for a gluten free option? Coconut flour? Almond flour? Thank you!
Hey Caitlin,
I would recommend using Cup4cup GF flour. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
How can I make the dumplings dairy free and gluten free? Thank you!
Hey Casey,
I would recommend using Cup4cup GF flour and full fat canned coconut milk. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
Love this!! I’ve made so many bland chicken and dumplings recipes trying to find a keeper, and this one wins hands down. So good and cozy and all the herbs keep it interesting. I followed the recipe except I made the chicken in the instant pot (8 min in 1 box broth, added the broth to the soup later) bc I have trouble not overcooking chicken on the stove. Highly recommend!
Thank you so much Emma! I am so happy this recipe turned out so well for you! xTieghan
I made this tonight and it was amazing! Easier and tastier than chicken and dumplings I have made in the past. I like the fact that there isn’t a ton of butter, Cream, etc so it isn’t very unhealthy. Will definitely be a staple recipe!
Thank you so much Sarah! I am really glad this recipe turned out so well for you all! xTieghan
Next level fabulous! Everyone in our house LOVED it. My husband already claimed the leftovers for his lunch. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much! I am really glad you all enjoyed this! xTieghan
Good – but didn’t get creamy like the picture. And when stored in the fridge the dumplings liquified and ruined the leftovers 🙁
Delicious flavor though!
I am sorry about that, Anne! Please let me know if there is anything I can help with! xTieghan
This was absolutely delicious.
My family was so happy with this soup and it’ll be a keeper. Thank you!
Thank you so much Alexy! xTieghan
Very tasty but definitely not enough broth. Next time I would double the broth .
Thank you so much Andrea! xTieghan
Made this tonight. A perfect dinner for a cool fall evening. It was delicious! I used parmesan in the dumplings. Will definitely make again and will double the recipe. I feel that the recipe as is would only serve 4.
I am really happy this turned out so well for you, Anne Marie! Thank you for trying this one! xTieghan
I doubled it and barely had leftovers! Hubby and 2 teenage boys LOVED IT! Very easy and flavorful!
Thank you so much Lisa!! xTieghan
This came out delish!!! I was totally intimidated by this recipe but I really followed the directions and it was honestly a breeze! My boyfriend and his friends couldn’t stop raving over it, which of course made me feel good! This is my second HBH recipe in a week, I might be obsessed LOL
I love that you are enjoying my recipes, McKaela! Thank you so much! xTieghan
Hi Tieghan!
Love your recipes-delicious! Weekly staples in our home. Tips for avoiding gummy dumplings in this recipe? Mine puffed up but didn’t get the crispy/browned look that yours appear. Wondering if the dough was prepared too soon and got too warm before adding to the broth? Attempted broiling in the oven after the boiling cook time, to no avail. Thanks in advance for your recommendations to improve this dish!
Hey Morgan,
Thanks so much for giving the recipe a try! So sorry the dumplings didn’t workout for you. I am thinking you may have overcooked them by broiling them. Mine definitely do not have a crispy texture, they are meant to be soft and pillowy. I hope this helps for next time, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
Loved this! I added a splash of half and half to make it extra creamy and delicious! A new go to fav for my fam! Thank you so much!!
Thank you Ashlee! I am really glad this recipe turned out so well for you!! xTieghan
Can you omit the cheese
From the recipe?
Hey Ashley,
Yes that would be okay to do. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
This soup is amazing and the Gorgonzola adds a wonderful flavor.
Thank you so much Erica! I am really glad you enjoyed this!! xTieghan
What king of staub are you using in the sage dumpling/chicken video? Dutch oven or two handled frypan? Love your website and videos-thank you!!
Hey MJ,
I am using a Staub dutch oven in the video. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
I love meals like this! I’m definitely going to give it a try! I’m only confused about the measure of the parmesan cheese: 2oz is the equivalent of 1/4 of a cup? I never made dumplings before and I’m concerned about not getting the right consistency. Thank you once again, Tieghan!
Hey Jessie,
Yes that is correct. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
Amazing! First time making dumplings in anything, and it will not be the last. It was so easy and so delicious! I’ve shared with many.
Thank you Kristina! xTieghan
this was the first recipe I’ve made from half baked harvest – and is one of the best soups I’ve ever had! So comforting and yummy. The dumplings are the best part 🥰
Thank you so much Jackie! I am really glad this recipe turned out so well for you! xTieghan
So favorful! Exactly what I was craving on a crisp fall night
Love that! Thank you for trying this Lisa! xTieghan
Fantastic. Only change I made was I used 4 cups of chicken stock rather than 2 cups. Definitely tasted like Thanksgiving. Fabulous comfort food.
Amazing! Thank you so much Traci! xTieghan
Such amazing flavor. I wish I added a little but more salt to the dumpling recipe. But overall amazing!!
Thank you so much Jessica! I am really glad this recipe turned out so well for you! xTieghan
This was great! So hearty.
Thank you Andrea! xTieghan
This recipe is fabulous! So easy, plenty of flavour and hearty…just perfect for this time of year. Love that you could make variations as well depending on what you have on hand, will definitely try adding mushrooms next time. Thank you Tieghan for making simple & affordable recipes, so glad you share your wonderful talents with the world 🙂 xx
Thank you for trying this one, Amy!! I am really glad it turned out well for you! xTieghan
Huge hit with the family! Great flavors and I love a one-pot meal.
Amazing! Thank you so much Sarah! xTieghan
Usually I love all the recipes. This one was awful. It had no taste and the broth looked nothing like the picture. I reread the recipe twice to see if I forgot something …nope. Such a disappointment.
Hi Kim! I am really sorry this did not turn out well for you. Is there anything that could have changed while making this? I would love to help! xTieghan
The chicken and dumplings are delicious!!!
Thank you Kim! xTieghan
I see that you have an option of parm for the dumplings. Can we completely exclude the gorgonzola? I just don’t have a taste for it! Thanks 🙂
Hey Jolie,
Yes that is fine to do! I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
So easy and delicious. I used rotisserie chicken to save time, and it worked perfectly. My husband asked to put it in the weekly winter rotation, and 3 and 1-year-olds loved it too. Thank you!
Aw that is so amazing to hear! Thank you Katie! xTieghan
Can this be made vegan
Hey Angela,
I have not tested this, but you could certainly use your favorite vegan substitutes and omit the chicken. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
I made this tonight and it was so easy and delicious! Thank you! I used a vegan chicken substitute.
Thank you Olivia! xTieghan
First time i havent needed to adjust anything in a recipe – prob the best recipe ive ever made or tasted – no joke
Wow I am so happy to hear that! Thank you! xTieghan
Wow this was one of my favourite recipes of yours EVER and I make a LOT of your recipes. I used parmesan instead of gorgonzola and it was delicious. This is the most perfect chilly fall evening dinner. Thanks Tieghan!
I am so happy this one turned out so well for you, Lucy! Thank you for trying it! xTieghan
Do you have any recommendations for storing it for leftovers? Should we take the dumplings out or store together? It’s delicious!
Thank you!
Hey Sarah,
I would remove the dumplings when storing leftovers. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
I made this tonight and it was so good. My whole family loved it. There was one issue/question though. You say to make 6 dumplings at once / I had more batter than 6 dumplings worth, so how do you handle this? Cook the first 6, then take those out, and cook the next 6 or so, and then add the chicken? I cooked the first 6 and by that time almost all the broth was soaked up by the dumplings so I had to add more broth, and cook the rest of the dumplings and then add more broth again. How do you handle this? The flavor was so so good though!
Hey Elise,
Thanks so much for trying the recipe! You just want to cook 6 dumplings at a time, so cook 6 and then add 6 more. Please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
Thank you for the recipe! This was delicious! My family loved it! This is for sure going in the dinner rotation!
Thank you so much Heather! I am really glad this recipe turned out so well for you! xTieghan
Question: it says to cook about 6 dumplings at a time in the soup. How many total dumplings will the dough make (about)? Do you have to cook each batch of 6 for 8-10 min before moving onto the next batch? Do you set the first batch aside? Seems like the dumpling part could take a long time! Thx.
Hey Gretchrn,
The total time to cook the dumplings takes 8-10 minutes. Just put 6 in at a time, once those rise to the top you can add 6 more. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
I really loved this recipe! I found that my vegetables were going to overcook if I boiled it for the full 15-20 minutes in step 3 in addition the high heat in step 6. To sidestep, I just cooked the chicken longer before hand (in step 2) so that it was nearly cooked all the way through so it didn’t need as much time in step 3. Overall, VERY delicious and hearty… perfect for fall in TN.
Amazing! I am really glad this recipe turned out so well for you, Allison! Thank you for trying it! xTieghan
My husband occasionally goes back for seconds. Tonight he went back for forths. I’d say its worth making again 🙂
I am so happy you loved this one, Missy! Thank you so much for trying it! xTieghan
LOVE THIS RECIPE! I recently started following your instagram after a friend pointed it my direction. This is the first recipe my husband and I have tried and boy are you right! PERFECT for a chilly fall day! So delicious! We actually mixed blue cheese and parmesan since we didn’t have gorgonzola on hand and it turned out wonderful. Thank you for sharing and we can’t wait to try more recipes 😊
Hi Lindsay! I am so happy you both loved this recipe and I hope you continue to enjoy my recipes! Thank you so much and welcome!! xTieghan
WOW. SO SO GOOD!! Made tonight for my boyfriend because he had an upset stomach so i wanted some comforting food. I haven’t even had a bowl but the just the SMELLS are so wonderful, tasted the broth and with the thyme it is perfect. Can’t wait to try the dumplings but def an easy recipe that is worth trying!
Hi Liz! I am really glad this recipe turned out so well for you! Thank you for trying this one! xTieghan
Had never made dumplings before… this was a. Easier than I thought it would be (woo!) and b. SO SO SO GOOD! I’m making it again on this rainy New York day. Thank you so much for the step by step on Instagram. I’m a fan girl now.
Haha you are too sweet! I am really glad this recipe turned out so well for you, Vanessa! I hope you continue to enjoy my recipes!! xTieghan
This was fantastic and so very easy. Plenty of time while browning chicken to cut things up, love all the fresh herbs, and the dumplings are just SO GOOD. Used flaked parmesan for bigger chunks of cheese in the dumpling. The only “change” was the addition of some mushrooms for more veggies! Husband loved it and so did I. Great for these cool fall nights!
Hi Lyndsey! I am so happy these dumplings turned out so amazing for you! Thank you so much for trying these! xTieghan
Fun and flavor FULL! The entire family adored it!
Wow yes!! I am really glad you all enjoyed this recipe, Kenya! xTieghan
This looks fantastic, but I’m confused about the dumplings. You say to make 6 at a time – once you get the first 6 in, do they take 8-10 minutes to cook? Once the first 6 are cooked, do you need to take them out and then start the next 6 and so on?
Thank you!
Hey Megan,
Sorry for the confusion, it should take 8-10 total minutes to cook. So add 6 dumplings, let those cook and then add 6 more. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
So good and comes together really fast. I’ve never made chicken & dumplings before today. I used dry thyme and sage and made buttermilk from almond milk & lemon juice. I also used Parmesan and not the Gorgonzola but will try with both cheeses next time.
Cannot believe how simple this was to make. The dish tastes like it took an entire Sunday. Easy weeknight meal in the future.
Thank you Tiegan
Hi! I am really glad this recipe turned out so well for you! Thank you for trying it! xTieghan
Will all the dumplings fit into the pot at once or do you have to cook them in a couple of batches?
Hey Linda,
You will want to cook 6 dumplings at a time. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
The chicken and veg was really nice, but couldn’t get the dumplings to work – they were just soggy lumps that I had to fish out of the soup.
Hi! I am really sorry to hear that! Is there anything I can help with? xTieghan
Another winning recipe! Really easy but with a nice depth of flavor. I had some roasted garlic leftover so I threw it in the dumpling mix, delicious all the way around!
Thank you so much Janet!! xTieghan
Has anyone made this ahead and reheated it? I’m wondering if the dumplings will hold if I make ahead for someone. Or could I make the dough for the dumplings and have them add to the soup on their own?
Hey Lisa,
You can certainly make this ahead, I would just recommend storing the dumplings separately. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
It was absolutely phenomenal! The only problem I had is that I used all the dumpling dough so it used up that liquid super quick so I just added a bit of leftover stock I had and it was totally fine. I’m not one to make stuff like this, tiny college apartment with about 1 sqft of useable counter space, and I am so glad I did. I’ve already shared this with most of my family. Thank you so much!
Hi CeCe! I am really glad this recipe turned out so well for you! I love that you were able to make it in your college apartment too! Thank you for trying it! xTieghan
10/10…. I may be the only person that has never tried Chicken and Dumplings until now but this recipe is FIRE! The soup has so much flavor and I really enjoyed the texture of the dumplings. My husband pan fried his dumplings in butter and that was a really nice addition as well to the soup. Thank you Tieghan, this is another keeper! One thing I love is how much flavor all of the recipes I’ve tried from this blog have been. I have the book too and absolutely love it!
Hi Tiara! I am so happy this recipe turned out so amazing for you!! Thank you for trying this recipe! xTieghan
My husband said yummy this …. good! This recipe is the second recipe I’ve tried of your! I added a strand of fresh rosemary and yes it was creamy from the Gorgonzola dumplings. Absolutely fabulous, I love your recipes there all very rich in flavor! Your are my new favorite chef for recipes! Bravo
Thank you so much Colleen! I am really glad this turned out so well for you! xTieghan
Tieghan,
WOW! Just WOW! This was such a simple recipe with so much flavor. Made this for the family last night. I thought perhaps I made a mistake on my dumplings, but after reading through several “dumpling” comments I don’t think so. Mine came out soft and pillowy and they were delicious!!
One thing I did read though — add 6 at a time — let them cook — than do another batch. I understand the whole process should take 8-10 minutes.
Question: About how long should each batch cook for? Maybe 4-5 min
About how many dumplings can you get from the recipe? I got 8, but had left over dough. I also didn’t do separate batches.
What size spoon? I used the big spoon — like the grown up cereal spoon. LOL
Thank you for sharing your wonderful talents with us!
Diana
Hey Diana,
I am SO glad you enjoyed the recipe, thanks for giving it a try! Depending on the size of your dumpling it should take just a few minutes to cook, in batches of 6, for a total of 8-10 minutes. I use about a tablespoon size scoop for the dumplings. I am so glad your turned out soft and pillowy! Please let me know if you have any other questions:) xTieghan
Hi! Can I use regular milk for the dumplings or is buttermilk must?!
Hey Katrina,
I would recommend using whole milk. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
This recipe was super quick to make for someone who doesn’t cook often and the ingredients are super simple. Highly recommend making this when you’re in the mood for something cozy!
I am so happy you loved this one, Alina! Thank you! xTieghan
This recipe is perfect comfort food. This was my first time trying dumplings. I was pretty hesitant about adding blue cheese, but happened to have some old cambozola in the fridge so just went with it – I have no regrets. The blue cheese is subtle and savoury. Love it!
Thank you so much Tiffany! I am really glad this recipe turned out so well for you! xTieghan
Just made this and Sooooo good! I’ve never made this … I don’t think I even ate this dish before but it was so easy & super yummy. Thank you!!
Thank you so much Nita! xTieghan
Made this tonight and it was AMAZING! It’s Monday and it’s an easy comforting meal for a week night. My whole family kept raving about how good it was. Thanks Tieghan for making me look so good!! ❤️
Thank you for trying this one, Carmen! I am really glad this turned out so well for you! xTieghan
Tieghan! Hands down the best chicken and dumplings I have ever had. Served with artisan bread. Really great. Family loved this.
Thank you!
Thank you so much Karen! I am really glad this recipe turned out so well for you! xTieghan
If I am doing the dumplings in a pressure cooker after cooking the soup on the slow cooker setting, whats the best way to cook them?
Hey Nikki,
Sorry, I am unsure as I have not tried this, I find this soup works best on the stove top. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
Easy and tastes like Thanksgiving dinner in a bowl!
Thank you Melissa! xTieghan
I hate to ask but I only have a cup for cup gluten free flour and bread flour in my cabinet…I’ve never made these kind of dumplings before…will they still soak everything up with the GF flour? I would guess I should go with bread flour instead? Can’t wait to make this
Hey Ariella,
I would use bread flour if you are able to. I hope you love the recipe. Please let me know if you have any other questions and Happy Holidays! xTieghan
Would love to try… ingredient replacement for buttermilk??? (egg & dairy allergy)
Hey there,
So sorry I have not tested this without buttermilk, you could try full fat canned coconut milk. I hope you love the recipe. Please let me know if you have any other questions and Happy Holidays! xTieghan
Good taste…. however, I thought it might be creamier looking at the picture. It’s actually very brothy like chicken soup. I added a bit of heavy cream to get a creamy flavor. Next time I will swap the Gorgonzola for Parmesan. It overpowered the soup.
Hi! I am glad this turned out well for you! I hope you enjoy it more with Parmesan!! xTieghan
Made with leftover turkey it was delish with @janethickson. Big Fans!
Thank you so much Doug!! xTieghan
I used leftover Thanksgiving turkey + turkey broth, and subbed a bit of regular kosher salt with celery salt, to mimic my mom and dad’s chicken noodle recipe 🙂 . This was so delicious, Teighan! Thank you for sharing:)
Thank you so much for trying this one, Hannah! I am really glad it turned out well for you! xTieghan
This was delicious and super easy! Perfect on a cold night. Will definitely be making again!
Thank you so much Devin! I am so happy you enjoyed this one! xTieghan
I made your chicken and dumplings last night and they were amazing. Chicken with dumplings was a favorite my Grandmother would make us, but the flavors you came up with including the sage and cheese made them even more delicious! Perfect winter recipe to warm and comfort the soul. Thank you and will divinely make this again.
Thank you for trying this one, Melinda! I am really glad this turned out so well for you! xTieghan
Loved this recipe! I added some white wine and cooked it off before adding the chicken broth. And included a little garlic and Rosemary to add to the flavors. Throughly enjoyed this, so easy, and looking forward to making this again and again!
Thank you so much Natalie! I am really glad this recipe turned out so amazing for you! xTieghan
LOVED this! I wasn’t sure about the dumplings but they were easy and a nice change! This will be on repeat this winter!
Hey Emily,
Thanks so much for giving the recipe a try, I am so glad you enjoyed it! Happy Holidays! xTieghan
This is so easy and delicious! Hearty but not too heavy. Love it! Made it before working the night shift tonight…perfect dinner.
Hey Jen,
Thanks so much for giving the recipe a try, I am so glad it worked out for you! Happy Holidays! xTieghan
This recipe is delicious. Half Baked Harvest has become one of our food Bible’s.
Hey Ian,
I am so glad you enjoyed the recipe, thanks so much for giving it a try! Happy Holidays! xTieghan
So yummy!
Thanks Stefani! xTieghan
My favorite soup recipe by far! I stored the dumplings separate from the soup and they were great!! Can’t go wrong with this recipe!
Hey Maya,
Thanks so much for giving the recipe a try, I am so glad it was enjoyed! Happy New Year! xTieghan
Tried this recipe last night! It was SOO good, my boyfriend said so as well! I agree with above comments it was more brothy so I added a little cream to it! The dumplings were also very good, I tried to do both parmesan and gorgonzola and I think it was a little much since gorg is has a bold flavor, next time just parmesan 🙂 LOVE all your recipes, printed a bunch out and created a binder to try!
Hey Hali,
I am so glad you enjoyed the recipe, thanks so much for giving it a try! xTieghan
Do you think goat cheese would work for this recipe?
Hey Ann Marie,
Yes, goat cheese would work well here. I hope you love the recipe. Please let me know if you have any other questions! Happy Friday! xTieghan
I made this today for a perfect winter lunch! The sage is a great extra flavor. I added chopped mushrooms and shredded kale and used parm & asiago in the dumplings instead of Gorgonzola. Delish!

Can I sub oak milk for buttermilk? It’s usually what I have. Also, is whole milk the same thing?
Thanks

So so yummy and easy! Super flavorful, cozy, and hearty without being a gut bomb. The dumplings are perfectly fluffy and chewy the way they should be and the chicken and broth are balanced with the savory and saltiness. Leftovers are even better the next day!
