Easy Chicken and Dumplings Recipe

Recipe: Easy Chicken and Dumplings

When it comes to chicken and dumplings recipes, it's hard to pick a favorite. We adore both the tried-and-true version that our grandmothers spoon-fed us, and the more innovative versions with additions like gnocchi, sweet potato, and cornbread.

In our first recipe, deli-roasted chicken, cream of chicken soup, and canned biscuits make a quick-and-tasty version of classic chicken and dumplings.

Chicken and Gnocchi

Recipe: Chicken and Gnocchi

This fast became a Test Kitchen favorite and our new go-to chicken and dumplings because it's the easiest gnocchi we've ever made. Simply use a zip-top bag to pipe the pillowy mounds straight into the simmering water.
