Drop Dumplingsĭrop dumplings, which is what we use in our easy chicken and dumpling recipe and also by far our favorite, are made with a thick batter that is scooped and dropped into the soup. These dumplings puff up a bit, but aren’t really fluffy and can also be a bit dense. The biscuits are separated, quartered and dropped into the soup.

These dumplings are flat, soft, dense, and hold together well. Rolled/Noodle DumplingsĪ simple dough is rolled out, cut into short/wide pieces and added to the soup.

This recipe is like magic and it tastes incredible, you’ll see. The liquid, and subsequently all the flavor, slowly get absorbed by the rice, and since the dish is so tightly sealed all the condensation gets reabsorbed by the meat, giving you moist, juicy chicken that couldn’t be dry if it tried. We know the cooking time sounds crazy – especially considering you can cook chicken typically in under 30 minutes – but trust us, this is the way to do it. Put it in the oven for 1 hour and 30 minutes and don’t peek even once during that time! Arrange the chicken, then – and here’s where the name comes into the mix – cover your dish tightly with aluminum foil. Apart from those core ingredients, it’s just water, salt and pepper – that’s it! Mix your liquids together, stir in the rice and seasoning packet, then spread that into your casserole dish. To start, you’ll want boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, a box of Uncle Ben’s long grain wild rice (plus the seasoning packet), a can of cream of mushroom soup and a can of cream of celery soup.
