Chicken and Dumplings is a hearty comfort food traditionally rooted in Southern and Midwest American cuisine. This dish typically combines tender chicken with fluffy flour-based dumplings simmered in a rich, savory broth. Common ingredients include chicken breast or thighs, flour, butter, milk, and seasonings such as thyme, garlic, and pepper, with vegetables like carrots and celery often added for depth and nutrition. While the broth and chicken provide protein, vitamins, and minerals, the dumplings tend to be carbohydrate-heavy, contributing to a higher calorie count. A homemade version allows greater control over ingredients, such as reducing fat and sodium, enhancing its nutritional value. This satisfying dish balances indulgence with nourishment, making it a beloved staple for colder months or when craving a warm, soul-soothing meal.
