Today I am sharing a dish that I have never made before, and come to think of it had never even eaten it until I made the recipe from Melissa’s new book, Melissa’s Southern Cookbook – Tried and True Family Recipes.

Chicken ‘N’ Dumplins
Yield: Serves 8
Chicken 'N' Dumplins - diced chicken in a flavorful broth topped with mounds of buttermilk dumplins. This is southern cooking comfort food at its' finest.
Ingredients
3 cups roughly chopped cooked chicken
3 14-ounce cans low sodium chicken broth or stock
1 10 3/4-ounce can cream of celery soup
2 teaspoons poultry seasoning
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried tarragon
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
4 tablespoons salted butter, room temperature
Dumplins
1/2 cup salted (or 4-ounces) cold butter, cubed
3 cups self-rising flour
1 cup whole buttermilk
Instructions
Place the chicken, chicken stock, celery soup, poultry seasoning, salt, pepper, tarragon, onion powder, and garlic powder in a large pot over high heat and bring to a boil.
In a small bowl, mix together the flour and butter to form a paste. Whisk into the pot to thicken the broth.
To Make the Dumplins:
Cut the butter into the flour, using a pastry blender or food processor, until the mixture resembles cornmeal.
Using a fork, mix the buttermilk into the flour until it forms a soft dough.
Using a 2-ounce ice cream scoop or tablespoon, drop the dough into the boiling broth. Immediately lower the heat to a simmer and cover tightly. Allow to simmer for 25 minutes without lifting the lid.
Uncover and gently stir. Let rest, uncovered, for at least 5 minutes, to allow the both to thicken.
Cook's Note:
In place of poultry seasoning, you may use 1/2 teaspoon each of ground sage, ground marjoram, ground thyme and ground rosemary.
Notes
I seasoned each of the chicken breasts I cooked with 1 1/2 teaspoons of Weber's Kick'N Chicken Seasoning and reduced the amount of poultry seasoning called for to 1 1/2 teaspoons and omitted the salt, pepper, tarragon, onion powder and garlic powder.
