Instant Pot Best Chicken & Dumplings

I just made this recipe tonight and felt the need, no URGE, to write a review. My husband has not stopped raving about how delicious this turned out and how flavourful the broth is. He is hard to please when it comes to soups/stews as they "aren't his thing" but he told me this is one of the BEST soups he's ever had! Thanks Jeffrey, we'll be making this for many years to come.

I'm from the south and got bored with my chick and dumps. So I tried your recipe....Omg! Brought back so many memories as a little girl! This is a staple in my diner in northern Michigan and I can't make enough of it for my customers! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe with us!

I am a southern girl and this has been my go to dumpling recipe for more than a year. In fact, I never had chicken & dumplings until making them using this recipe. I know, what a travesty and I should almost have my southern girl card revoked! 😆 My family LOVES this dish!

I’m from the south. And I’ve made this recipe twice. It’s the best chicken and dumplings I have ever had. My grand mother used to make them and these are as good or better…they are great!!!!

I am a Southern woman and you nailed it you have my mouth watering now! I’ve also found folks don’t BOO me before you try it, you can use floured tortillas cut them just like the dumplings follow the cooking recipe. Cook until it’s white like a dumpling and if you don’t tell anyone they will never know you cheated. God bless, Connie

Omg so I'm a mom of 3 who was just gifted an Instant Pot and let me tell yall, after trying this recipe, I feel like a whole ass chef! My family's from the Panhandle and parts of Georgia ~ my dad is passionate about southern cooking. Unfortunately I did not inherit that same zeal, but being a mom now I do want my kids to grow up eating real food. Anyway, so I tried this recipe and WOW. It tastes even better than what I grew up with!! Bursting with flavor, it's the perfect comfort food and was pretty easy to follow!

❤️ Chicken & Dumplings is literally my choice for my last meal! C&D, mashed potatoes, salad with Italian Dressing, green beans and yeast rolls. Oh my.

My mom used to make chicken and dumplings on cold rainy days. My father would melt when he ate them. Fond memories around the dinner table. Thanks, mom.

I've made a version of this recipe about 5 times in the last two months. A few things I did differently just for convenience sake, was I used my home canned chicken and I used salt, pepper, sage, thyme and savory for my spices. This is just an amazing recipe. The dumplings are to die for. Great flavor and texture. Even my 5 and 10 year old kids absolutely love it.

So many varieties. I use buttermilk for the dumplings and mix it a little wet, with a fork, then drop in by the spoon full. You should try it that way, makes it multi-textured dumplings, firm on the inside soft on the outside.... MMmmmm.... Think I decided what's for dinner ;)

Those dumplings are exactly how my family does them. We are Southerners.

Southern food is just so good and comforting it's just all so good honestly lol

My Mom is from Arkansas and now living with us in Oregon. She had always made the big, fat dumplings, which were always heavy and doughy (she wasn't the best of cooks). When I made this for her she stated that she wished she knew about this style of dumpling a LONG time ago. She is in love with the dish all over again. Thanks!

It’s hilarious. Truly. I state in the video right up front there are so many variations of Chicken & Dumplings. To those who say these aren’t dumplings, you just haven’t had this style yet and need to expand your culinary minds a bit. This style is enormously popular in many Southern regions and I know this being with an Alabamian. Calm down, take a deep breath and try it because you have no idea what you’re missing. It’s like a butter ribbon in your mouth. I’ll simply have matzo balls if I want them fluffy style. This is simply my version of this classic dish and I am so proud to share it with you 😘

This is they way we make dumplings in North Carolina and they're called "slick" dumplings. Or we can buy Anne's Dumplings, which is a product found in the frozen food section of our grocery store. When we were kids, we'd collect a bunch of blackberries and my mom would boil them until they were thick and then add slick dumplings. Gosh, they were the best!

Just made the other night. It was a HUGE hit with my family. Husband couldn’t get enough and my two daughters (toddlers) I struggle to get to eat, knocked out two bowls each. They keep requesting since. Thank you!!! It was so simple and sooo delicious!!

Jeff, I purchased an "Instant Pot," on the 14th of Feb. this year. I became interested when by chance I started watching some Instant pot videos. Then I happened on your channel. I can't begin to thank you for your wonderful, flavorful recipes. I've been making one, almost everyday, and my husband loves them. I'm very happy for your success and most of all you do the thing you love while helping people like me, who are learning.God Bless and keep those recipes coming. And hubby says thanx too!

I made this and it was delicious. I browned the skin first and used a bone broth for some added depth and umami. Cooked the veggies in the schmaltz left in the pot and deglaze with the broth, it really helped make a more complex flavor. Thanks for all the recipes!

I love this recipe. To all the critics, it is the taste that matters. I have had dumplings in the south, Georgia and in the north, Montana and in the west, California. These are strip dumplings and the others are drop dumplings. The south tends to do more strip dumplings and the north more drop dumplings. They are all good and these look amazing.

So I made this this past weekend and I have a couple of notes. First off this was not planned, I figured I had most of the ingredients and could "wing it" with the rest. I had a package of boneless, skinless chicken tenders and 4 frozen chicken thighs with skin. Because of the frozen thighs I increased the cooking time by 5 minutes and let it naturally release for an additional 10 minutes. This worked great, the chicken was perfect. Turned out I didn't have any onions so I used 1 tablespoon of onion powder instead, I put this in the saute mode with the carrots and celery and garlic and it worked fine. Otherwise I followed this recipe as closely as I could and you know what....absolutely the best chicken and dumplings I've ever had. Not even a contest. A few things, if you love sage then this recipe is fine, if not you may want to cut the sage in half, its pretty strong. The dumplings are nice, not chewy but soft, tender, and contrary to the video I could definitely taste the flour, it wasn't a terrible thing, I'm just letting you know. Things I could see adding to this, mushrooms, peas, a bit of cayenne pepper, maybe even a few more dumplings. Overall this recipe is great and versatile and easy!
