How do I know when my chicken and dumplings are done? When I believe that the dumplings are done, I will spoon out one dumpling and cut it in half and it will be done in the middle, not goey like raw dough. Usually, I boil my dumplings for 6-8 minutes. I cut up my biscuits in 8 pieces, so the dumplings will cook quicker. I am constantly stirring my chicken and dumplings and so the dumplings are flipping while I am just stirring with a spoon. I don’t actually flip my dumplings when I’m cooking. It sounds unusual, but you should try it. My kids really like the Hawaiian crescent rolls in our chicken and dumplings. Sometimes, I will buy butter biscuits and then I have also made dumplings out of buttery crescent rolls. I love using can biscuits for my dumplings. You can make dumplings with either butter or shortening. Are dumplings better with butter or shortening? So, I just stay by my pot and stir, because it only takes a few minutes for the dumplings to get done. Plus, mine tend to boil over and spill onto my stove, mainly because I get side tracked and forget them, LOL. But, I choose to cook my dumplings without a lid, because I am constantly stirring. You can cook dumplings with a lid or without a lid. Do you cook dumplings with lid on or lid off? It takes literally minutes to open up the cans, bring to a boil and dump in the biscuits. Plus, using a can of biscuits to make dumplings is so much easier than making dumplings from scratch. However, I have learned that a biscuit dough can be boiled just like dumplings. Technically a biscuit dough and a dumpling are not the same, because biscuit dough is meant to be baked and dumplings are meant to be boiled. He said that I finally added enough salt to them, LOL! So, the secret to good dumplings is definitely the seasonings, because without that then you almost just have a chicken broth taste. Well, my son Barrett, would say, “Salt!” He actually said that these were the best dumplings that I had made and I make them a lot. Even for breakfast, lol! I was making this recipe earlier Saturday morning (so to have good light for pictures) and the dumplings had just finished cooking and Barrett came thru the kitchen asking, “Are the chicken and dumplings done?” I just laughed, because it was breakfast time, but guess what he had for breakfast?
