DELICIOUS Gluten Free Chicken and Dumplings

Can I tell you that when this gluten free world began, my husband and I looked at each other and didn’t understand. That is until one day he noticed anything with gluten made him feel bloated and uncomfortable.

Hence, the moving to more gluten free recipes began.

Has that happened to you? Are there members of your family or friends that are steering clear of gluten?

I just assumed last week that if I switched out Bob’s 1 to 1 gluten free flour for dumplings that I would get the same product.

WRONG!

My husband did NOT complain with those gluten free chicken and dumplings…but the consistency of the dumpling dough was far from right.

Enter…the NEW delicious and easy version of gluten free chicken and dumplings today.

I knew that doughs often need more moisture with gluten free flours, but today, I doubled the milk in my original recipe.

Nothing else changed except an ease of using chicken broth and chicken that I had already cooked.

So, here’s the BEST gluten free chicken and dumplings recipe. Better than ANY I have made with gluten flours.

You heard that right.

  • Grate carrots and set aside.
  • Add chicken broth and Better than Bouillon to stock pot.
    NOTE: Better than Bouillon may create an issue with those with gluten sensitivity. That ingredient has not been a problem for those with gluten sensitivity here. Omit if you have concerns or are cooking for those with celiac's.
  • If cooking chicken in broth, cut chicken into cubes and drop into broth to bring to a boil. If using rotisserie chicken, cut into bite sized pieces and add to broth.

  • Add grated carrot into broth mixture.
  • While chicken is cooking, make dough for dumplings.

Dumplings

  • Add flour, baking powder, and salt into a mixing bowl and whisk together.

  • Pour in milk and stir to make a dough.
    TIP: I have found that I don't want the dough too wet. The dough should release easily from the parchment paper covering it after rolling…if not add a little more flour.
  • Lay out parchment paper and place dough in one side of parchment paper and fold paper over to roll dough in between the parchment paper.
    TIP: make sure that you have a large enough piece of paper to roll dough out to 1/4" thickness between the two pieces of paper.
  • Cut dough into strips about 1" long and wide.

  • Drop dough into the boiling broth one at a time, separating them as you drop them into the liquid to prevent them from sticking together.
  • Cook until dumplings are puffy and broth has thickened.
