jeffraben.com/recipes · No. 578
Dolly Parton's own simpler version of chicken and dumplings, as shared to Instagram in 2019.
Ingredients
Method
- Boil a whole chicken with onion, celery, salt and pepper.
- Simmer easy dumpling dough cut into squares in the broth.
- Debone and shred the chicken, then add it back into the broth and dumplings.
- Optionally add some Morton's Nature's Seasoning.
Although Dolly's sister Rachel's recipe appears in their cookbook and is reportedly the one often made for Dolly's birthday, her own recipe as shared to Instagram is a little simpler. The author added some Morton's Nature's Seasoning that Rachel mentions in the book. "My food isn't pretty, but it's good." — Dolly Parton
