Louise, Thank you so much for creating recipes for foods that you and Jeff wouldn't normally eat! I made this yesterday (along with the homemade Celery Soup) and it was a huge hit at our house. My 90 year old mother lives with us and is somewhat of a picky eater. She ate two bowls of this soup/stew! It was wonderful! This was my first time for making dumplings and everyone loved them. You are my go to person for special dinners!
Thank you so much! I'm over the moon happy that your mom liked it! Nutrition is one of the most important things as we get older.
Just bought a Ninja Foodi and was impressed with what it can do. The recipe book that comes with it is limited, so your videos are brilliant. Thank you very much for posting.
I don't usually watch videos from start to finish, however there is something about your presentation that keeps me hooked. My new favorite cooking channel from now on. Thank you for your patience and care.
Wow, thank you so much!
Lou ,you'd be an excellent teacher for helping & showing children how to cook. You have a lot of patience and your sense of humour is brilliant as well. Even if you were to teach disabled people you'd make a great teacher doing that also. I truly hope that you keep on making your tremendously brilliant videos.
Thank you so much!
hmmm.....Not sure where you're coming from, but I doubt I'd let children work with a pressurized cooking appliance. I subscribed to find out different ways to use my Ninja pressure cooker which so far, this is the best channel for that.
This turned out delicious! My picky hubby said he's taking it for lunch tomorrow, he rarely eats leftovers. Success!!! He loved the little dumplings!
YAY! I’m so happy to hear this!
Louise, I definitely want to try this soon. Thanks for sharing!!! My husband loves Chicken and Dumplings.
Just got done making this with my 4 year daughter. We had so much fun doing it and then I tasted a dumpling... holy goodness!!! This is amazing! I'm so glad I decided to go the route of making the dumplings vs biscuits! So flavorful!!!
That is awesome! I'm thrilled you made the dumplings! They are so delicious.
@@TheSaltedPepper my husband (whom is insanely picky) actually bragged about it to his friends and asked for seconds and lunch for tomorrow of it. Lol. So I'm guessing it was a success. My daughter who doesn't like carrots ate the carrots first! I'll be making this again for sure... but had a request to double the dumplings lol
Hi Louise, another great success thanks to your detailed recipe! The dumplings were fluffy and melt-in-your mouth. We froze two containers of this, but I doubt they will stay in the deep freeze for long! Thanks for your great instructions.
I am so glad you enjoyed it!
I just made another one of your awesome recipes. This was the best chicken and dumplings I've ever had! I made the dumplings from scratch as well.. My family loved it. Thank you.
I just made these, Louise. It turned out just as you said it would!! So delicious!! Thank you and Jeff for the work you do!! I know y'all put a lot into testing and production and I really thank you both so much!!
You are so welcome!
I have been making chicken and dumplings for years and I have to say, this is the best I’ve made following your recipe. (Except I rolled my dumplings and cut them.) Bone broth was the bomb!!! New to the Ninja Foodi and you are my go to for everything! Thank you!!!!!
Thank you so much!
Wow, I had no idea that the chicken tender was actually really a different part of the chicken breast. I thought it was just sliced up chicken breast!! I guess you can teach an old dog new tricks 😎Thanks, Louise!!
Ohhhhh boy!! That is making my mouth water and it’s 1:15 am in the U.K. We don’t have those broth cartons here, and they do look very handy, we do have commercially made broths, but not in the quantity you do, and I don’t think I’ve ever noticed bone broth...unless things are changing! Also what we call dumplings, are made with beef or vegetarian suet, your dumplings look delicious! I’m definitely going to have a go at it! I’ve always loved your style, nothing is a disaster, you don’t edit mistakes out, and you’re so down to earth that this, also, Scottish lass agrees wholeheartedly with the comments of my countrywoman @Scottish Lass, that you would be good teaching children, your easygoing way, your laid back attitude and the facts that, if something goes wrong, it’s not the end of the world and can be remedied. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for the kind words!
This one looks really good, and I bet it would be a good one for meal prepping/freezing!
Thanks for sharing these recipes, just got my ninja, bought a recipe book & it sucks no normal food I would make & eat, your are wonderful! Thanks again
Thank you! I hope you enjoy the recipes! You can find the written recipes on my website, too: thesaltedpepper.com
Perfect timing for this recipe. I just shredded up roasted Chicken from Sam's. No one came home the other night to eat it. And I was looking for a Foodi Chicken and dumpling recipe. Thanks for this one.
I hope you love it!
This is chicken stew. Not chicken & dumplings. Chicken & dumplings is, CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS. That's it. It is also made with raw chicken to make the broth.
I made these tonight. OMG... best dumplings I’ve ever had. My husband hates chicken and dumplings. So I told him it’s Chicken Stew. He ate them up... lol
YAY! I'm thrilled you enjoyed them and hubby too! I never liked dumplings until I made these either! LOL
Just made this....Wow! It was wonderful! So quick and easy to make!
Glad you liked it!!
Hi there. I want to Thank you for all your recipes. I've made several dishes with little of my own twist and they have been delicious. I look forward to seeing more recipes.
You are so welcome!
LOVED it, so easy to make, did use one can of condensed chicken soup and 1 can of cream of celery. Delish none the less. Keep it coming.
So glad you liked it!
Louise, I know this is older, but sometimes I look in your past receipt for ideas or a receipt I already made and forget what I need to enjoyed again. Plus on the very good side with you Louise, always so constantly have great advice to change or to improve things in the Ninja Foodi. I'm the cook, my brother doesn't cook often, he would rather defrost or reheat what I already have in our freezer. Sometimes he asks me to find something you suggested a while ago, which is the case with this exact meal. When doing the dumplings I had some spicy flakes, which we both love.
Our parents died a few years back and we inherited our amazing family house, 11 rooms with plaster mouldings, 12 feet ceilings with 7 original Murano chandeliers, solid mahogany flooring with borders in of rosewood, with an inside swimming pool and sauna.
My brother's only cooking ability is buying already-cooked stuff from grocery stores to reheat. For myself, I might buy an already-cooked chicken for faster meal prep. Louise, I always appreciated your ideas and your very valuable advice, Thank you so much from upper NY state.
Thank you so very much!
Looks so good
Oh my, I’m waiting for this video to begin and I just have to comment again about your last few videos! I commented about your fried green tomatoes and that they were a favorite of my late husband’s. Now your chicken and dumplings made like this were a favorite of his also. The 19th was a year that he began his three month stay in the hospital prior to his death. He would have loved the chicken and dumplings fixed in the ninja foodi.
Thank you for sharing. I hope you make these recipes with fond memories and I'm so sorry again for your loss.
I love chicken and dumplings. I can't wait to try this recipe.
I hope you love it!
I made the chicken and dumplings tonight awesome thank you YUMMY.
I'm so glad you enjoyed them!
Bought a ninja foodi grill and found your channel. look forward to trying this delicious looking recipe in my pressure cooker. Thanks! Nothing like fantastic food made easy...just like your intro says 😃
Hope you love it!
Louise you rock! I made it exactly as you said and I used my bones from the chicken to make bone broth bone broth! Absolutely delicious thank you for your guidance I got my foodie last year and have watched all your videos!! You inspire me to want to cook more so thank you very much I hope you had a merry Christmas.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU.. absolutely love it.. cannot wait to make
I hope you love it!
A joy to watch (and ultimately eat!) so my thanks from the bottom of my heart for your videos.
Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy the chicken and dumplings.
OMG... this is delicious! Especially, the dumplings, they melt in your mouth... I used Cream of Chicken Soup because I didn't have Cream of Celery. It was so good, I wished I would have made the full batch though. My family loved it as much as I did and there were no left overs. Thank you so much!!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Looks wonderful, I will definitely try this. When I do not have wine available I have added 1 cup dark, rich coffee or my stew.
That is interesting and I bet so good in a beef stew!
That's a meal, plate it up with mashed potatoes excellent. My Grandma style Pennsylvania dutch really close to her classic recipe, excellent food
Thank you!
Made this for dinner tonight. It was really good. Definitely making again.
Glad you liked it!!
Making this right now for my husband. We love chicken and dumplings. I am not good at baking so hopefully I can get the dough down. I am going to try your biscuit recipe as well. He loves biscuits, my hips and waist do not. Love, love, love your youtube videos and website. Happy cooking...
I hope you love it! The dumplings are easy, you’ll be fine!
I love the little ball dumplings though 👍🏾👍🏾
This looks delicious. I’m making this for Sunday supper. Thanks for all you do.
Linda Fox thank you! Can’t wait to hear how you like it!
I haven't made chicken & dumplings in a long time, & have really been craving it lately. This looks fabulous! Many folks don't do it but I'm a huge fan of carrots in mine as well, & also prefer drop dumplings to rolled dumplings. But I also like taters in mine. No such thing as too much carbs in comfort food lol
My mom used shortening, so thank you for a new way to make dumplings a bit healthier.
Enjoy!
I made this tonight and it was way better than I expected. I thought I had everything I needed but when I started to make the dumplings I realized I did not have any half and half. So, I used heavy whipping cream. I will be making this again.
Looks so good I cant wait to try it! Thanks for sharing!
Hope you enjoy it!
A bowl full of comfort.
absolutely!
Your videos are super helpful, thank you.
Happy to hear that!
Thank you for this video Lou. I'm going to make this & stew & dumplings but I didn't know how to In the ninja. My wee Mammy used to make it on the cooker as did I also. Cheers Doll
I hope you love it!
I can't wait to make this.
Love your cooking
Thank you so much
Well Louise another delicious recipe! I even tried making my own dumplings which I never would have because the last biscuits I made were like baseballs. Oh Lord. These dumplings were really tasty with the thyme in them!! I also made your chicken lettuce wraps. Really tasty!!
That makes me so happy! I'm thrilled you enjoyed them!
Hmmm, I am not familiar with bone broth, but will most definitely be looking for it. If you say that it worth the extra cost, then I trust your judgement. Thanks for the great video. I usually make chicken and dumplings in the crock pot. But since I got the Foodie, I may as well learn a different method. THANK YOU Louise for your amazing videos and sharing your talent with us.
I only suggest the added expense of a good bone broth when making something where that added flavor is key. You can also make your own pretty easily in the Ninja Foodi or Instant Pot.
Just found your channel what I have watched soo far has been great I see you also have 2 of the foodis! I do plan do use this as I am always looking for some good new food!
Thank you so much! Enjoy your Foodis!
omg that looks so delicious can't wait to make this for my kids and grandson 💚
I can't wait to hear how you like it!
@@TheSaltedPepper I'll post pictures as soon as I make it
I made chicken and dumplings! Fantastic. You've made me a cook! Lol let's keep going!
That's great!
Hi there - I am a new subscriber to your channel. I love your videos. I found you because I just bought the 8 quart Ninja Foodi and was looking up recipes specifically for the Ninja. I'm commenting on this particular video because my mom made dumplings just like yours minus the thyme. They were dumped into the chicken stew as she liked to call it too. No noodles in our chicken and dumplings - that was for chicken noodle soup! Haha Brought back wonderful memories. Thanks.
Awesome! Thank you! I hope you love this recipe!
Looks absolutely amazing
This is a great idea for left over chicken
I'm new and i do love yr recipes. Thank you
Glad you like them!
Louise, could you tell me what brand of Bone Broth you used in this recipe? The bone broth that I have found is not hearty like what you used. Thanks very much!
My neighbor and I were just talking about dumplings the other night and you come up with this. Perfect timing. I remember my Mom making this and now I will be able to in my Foodi. Thank you so much. Can hardly wait to try out your recipe :-)
I hope you enjoy it!
@@TheSaltedPepper Oh no, I have no sour cream for dumplings and it's already started. Hope it's alright to use all half and half :O :O
@@JoansJunkJournalsAndMore do you have yogurt? If not, give the 1/2 and 1/2 a try and maybe add another Tbsp of butter.
@@TheSaltedPepper Just vanilla yoghurt and cherry yoghurt. I used 1/2 Sorghum Flour and 1/2 Rice flour. Dough never stuck together the best and dumplings were a little dry though I did add more 1/2 and 1/2. I added a little lemon juice to "sour-up" some of the 1/2 and 1/2.
By the way, the rest was delicious :)
I just got a ninja foodi I have been up till 2 am watching all your videos lol obsessed much yes yes I am lol lol your'e truly the best
Thank you so much!
I did make the chicken and dumplings but followed my own recipie for dumpling (feather) just spooned by tbl put spoon in the broth and just spoon mixture on top 10 to 15 minutes on soft boiling and than 10 to 15 min with lid closed they came out great
Rose Fritz I’m glad you enjoyed the recipe!
Lou every time I watch your videos I get hank marvin lol. My wee Mammy used to make her dumplings like this, God rest & bless her
I hope you give them a try!
Good Morning:
I have prepared this before 2 - 3 times in the Ninja Foodi. I am considering to prepare
this on the stove today (Thursday) for lunch & dinner because I have identical 28 years twin sons (young men) still living with me & I need to make this last at least three days. What do I need to do differently?
1. Are all ingredients the same?
2. Do I still put the drop dumplings on top & if so Do I cover the pot?
3. How long will this need to cook for if the dumplings are on top?
4. Would the cream of celery still go on top as well?
I have not prepared this recipe on the stove, but it should be pretty simple to do. All the ingredients would be the same. You can put the cream of celery in at anytime since you aren't going under pressure. I'm not exactly sure how long it will take for the dumplings to cook, but you will know when they are done because they will float and puff up. I don't think it matters too much if you cover them or not. Just keep the liquid at a nice low boil and it should be fine. You might need more liquid since you will have more evaporation than if you PC. Just have extra chicken stock on hand and add more if it gets too thick.
I love all of your videos so much! I am curious about the white scraper-looking tool that you're using in this video? I have looked in your online store, but I cannot find it. I'm thinking it's Pampered Chef? I would love to know where to buy one please? Thank you!
Thank you! I'm pretty sure you are talking about the scoop n spread and it is a pampered chef product. Here is the link: www.pamperedchef.com/pws/thesaltedpepper/shop/Cooking+Tools/Spatulas%2C+Scrapers+%26+Spreaders/Scoop+%26+Spread/1708
@@TheSaltedPepper that's it! Thank you!!
I prefer chicken and dumplings over chicken noodle soup any day of the week. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!
Looks yummy! Gonna have to try! Hey btw I love the bowl you used for dumplings, very beautiful dish! Where did you get?!
Thank you! Honestly, I have no idea where the bowl came from.
Could we have the recipe for the celery soup please.😊
Patricia Longworth it’s in the written post:
thesaltedpepper.com/homemade-chicken-dumplings/
@@TheSaltedPepper great, thank you
Add frozen peas toward the end and use fresh chopped dill in the dumpling mixture. You'll love it.
Trying this today. One question I have had for a long time. Is minced garlic the same as garlic put thru a press? It’s certainly easier to put it thru a press, but do they perform the same in the dish? As you say, it’s all about the taste! Thanks.
Yes, minced garlic is garlic cloves that goes through a press. It's always best to do that at home, but you can buy minced garlic. It's not quite as fresh tasting though. I use my garlic press all the time.
Thanks Louise, nice and simple recipe to put together at the end of the day! I always have rotisserie chicken breasts leftovers on hand because my kids don't eat it. If you do a full recipe, is there gonna be enough surface in the pot to put in all the dumplings?
That is a good question! I have made a full batch without any issues, but please let me know if you experience any issues because I can always adjust the recipe.
Hi. Please could you tell me whether you used plain or self raising flour for the dumplings? Thanks
Plain all purpose
Just a quick question concerning the Cream of celery soup. Do you add the water to the canned soup before measuring or is it the condensed right out of the can?
condensed right out of the can.
Going to have to make this one it looks great!
David
Thank you! I hope you love it!
Hi Louise, do you have a video for homemade chicken or beef broth? Thanks!
Not yet!
If you ever go Low Carb or better yet No Carb your site would be perfect. But I still love your Foodi recipes. Thanks for all your work.
It would be very hard to do no carb recipes, but low carb is something I'm working on. My husband and I eat low carb usually.
For those who are not a fan of big dumplings you can roll the dough to 1/8 thickness then use a pizza cutter to make strips of 1x2 “ pieces it cooks faster and came out like a noodle
Looks delicious
Thank you so much!
I know this is a stupid question, but do you have a video on how to make your own chicken, or beef broths? I love homemade soups, and want to learn how to do them, Thank you, Betty
I think we already addressed this over on Facebook, but for anyone else that might read the comment, here is the link to my chicken recipe that I made in my Instant Pot way before the Foodi came out: thesaltedpepper.com/instant-pot-whole-chicken/
I love chicken and dumplings but I prefer the flat noodle type. Can they be used instead of the biscuit type
Sure.
Not so good as the dumplings in this video, but you can slice flour tortillas into strips for some very quick & easy flat dumplings. Not bad at all, really.
Looks so good. I will make it in a pot. I can't find that spatula kind of thing you used in your beef stew recipe. It has 2 ends on it.
I think you are referring to the pampered chef scoop & spread: www.pamperedchef.com/pws/thesaltedpepper/shop/%2410_00+%26+Under/Scoop+%26+Spread/1708
It is one of the best pampered chef items!!! I love mine!
@@TheSaltedPepper ty for the info.
Lou , I have a question for you. Could chicken soup be used in it?. Great video Hen
Sure, just replace the cream of celery with cream of chicken.
Wow made this tonight for dinner and it was amazing kids had seconds
I'm so glad you guys enjoyed it!
Miss Joyce stopped by! 🙏🏼❤️👏
Hi Miss Joyce! Thanks so much for checking in!
Loved it! You’re most welcome. 👋🏻
I don't own a pressure cooker but want to make this recipe. Is there anything I need to change in the preparation since I'll be using my Dutch oven on the stove top. Thanks
The only thing that will change is the cook time. As long as you get all the vegetables cooked to your liking, then bring the liquid to boiling before adding the dumplings.
@@TheSaltedPepper thank you for the info . This will be perfect for a relaxing calm dinner after all the hub bub at Christmas. Happy holidays to you
I just finished making this dish. This is my first time trying my hand at this. It took me so long to prepare this. OH MY GOODNESS delicious. I did a couple or a few things different. I already had raw chicken quarters. I cut meat off the bone, very tedious. I cooked the chicken in the foodi. Then cut all the other things. Third I made the dumpling mixture before I cooked the meat & vegetables. When it came to using half & half in the dumplings I did not have that, so I used a little less that half a cup of heavy whipping cream ( it was about half of a half cup - my measurements are not that great). I definitely cut up the chicken to small. It"s so was so small that it looked invisible. Also I did not have cream of celery soup, therefore I used cream of chicken soup. Everytime I made dumplings in the past the results are heavy, dense & sometimes gummy. I am never going back to that. Light & fluffy all the way. Thank You I am loving this.
YAY! I'm so glad you liked it! Sounds like your changes worked perfectly!
I used the exact amounts of Baking soda/powder. It gave me severe heartburn & I am still feeling it. Can I scale it down? If so how much or can I elimate it all together?
@@amandaellis7366 The baking powder is used to puff the dumplings and without it, they will be too dense. Maybe try to decrease it by half and see what happens.
Okay looks like I'm doing it right. I had to bring it back to a boil though. I used Canned Biscuits. But first time doing this. So next time. Homemade dumplings. I used Better than Boulion Broth paste, salt and pepper for seasoning. That paste is so good. I wish I had Celery to put in mine. But next time. Dang it makes a lot. ☺️Two or three days of left overs wirks for me. Been needing some homemade comfort food.Its going to be good. With a side of green beans...☺️☺️💖Hpmemade food is so much better for you. ☺️
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Definitely give those dumplings a try next time!
Hi can you freeze this with the dumplings in or remove them before freezing?
I think you'll be fine to freeze it with the dumplings. You might need to add a touch of chicken stock when reheating.
Looks good can you do it in the grill
Not really, you need a sauté feature at the least. You could do it on the stove though.
My mother never made chicken and dumplings, nor have I. I never really liked it, as I always thought it tasted bland and the chicken was tasteless. This looks delicious, Louise! I am just wondering how much flavor would be lost by using canned cream of celery soup. If the answer is a ton, I might make a batch in advance and freeze it.
Wendy Weir I’m not sure because I didn’t test it with canned and I don’t even know what canned tastes like. I can tell you that I could eat the homemade version as a soup any day. It is delicious! I would definitely used a nicely seasoned chicken and good bone broth. The flavors are outstanding!
How do you make your bone broth ?.please
The most important thing is the ratio of bones to water. Here is my recipe for turkey bone broth, but you can follow the same for chicken as well: thesaltedpepper.com/instant-pot-bone-broth/
Can i omit the evaporated milk? or substitute?
I would think you could decrease the water and use milk or half and half for the homemade cream of celery soup
What size is your cooker? 8qt or 6.5
6.5qt
Hi @The Salted Pepper.....wondering if you or anyone here has made the cream of celery recipe in a dairy-free version? Maybe coconut milk or almond milk vs Evap Milk? Thanks!
I haven't, but let me know if you give it a try!
@@TheSaltedPepper - Thank you. How much does the cream of celery recipe yield?
Lou I hope that you're keeping well with this Coronavirus going on. I can't wait to get out as we're on lockdown here in the UK. Only Nurses Drs etc. Etc. are allowed out free at will.
Jeff and I are doing fine. Stay well, my friend.
I am with you I am not a fan of the mushy dumplings. I have to try this recipe. Thanks for another great recipe and video.
I can't wait to hear how you like it!
Lou ,can it be reheated in the ninja foodi?
Yes, you can either reheat using sear/ saute or put it in a pan covered and steam it. I usually steam left overs like this so I don't have to watch that they don't burn to the bottom. I just set the steam time for 15-20 minutes and walk away. You do need at least 2 cups of water in the inner pot and the pan of leftovers on the rack, covered.
Is the recipe written somewhere,?
I'm on a low carb diet. And I miss chicken and dumplings, could almond or coconut flour be used in place of the flour
Christopher Wright you could try. I’m not a fan of how they taste though. I’ve tried to make bread and stuff and the after taste isn’t pleasing to me. Maybe one of those carb free flour blends that are a 1:1 substitute would work. Let me know if you try it!
Can I sub cream of chicken soup for the cream of celery soup. Not a big fan of celery! Lol!
Yep!
What can I use instead of celery?
Just omit it.
Just like my mom’s cloud ☁️ dumplings. I don’t do cut out, though I am going to try gnocchi.
Enjoy!
