3 Variations on Chicken and Dumplings

1. Mrs. Cribbs’s Chicken and Dumplings

Home cook Helen Cribbs insists on all-purpose flour, rather than self-rising flour, to keep her tender noodlelike dumplings chewy, not doughy.

2. Stovetop Chicken and Dumplings

Baking these easy dumplings right on top of the simmering stew makes them extra fluffy.

3. Chicken Goulash with Biscuit Dumplings

The chicken stock and sour cream both serve a dual purpose here: They moisten the biscuits and enrich the thick, luscious sauce.
