DUMPLINGS RECIPE
Large Soup Pot or Dutch Oven - when cooking a quick meal it is easier to use a wide pot to get more contact with the stove and a more even cooking temperature.
1-tablespoon scoop - One of my favorite kitchen tools, I have had mine for over 10 years. I use it for dumplings, drop biscuits, 2 bite cookies, cocktail meatballs, freezing tomato paste, and so much more!
How to freeze chicken and dumplings
This dish is freezer-friendly! When reheating, defrost and then reheat in a pot over low heat, stirring occasionally until it is warmed through.
Prepare the recipe as written and allow it to come to room temperature before transferring it to freezer-safe containers.
Divide the soup into the size containers you will use when defrosting. Leave room at the top. We use 2-cup containers and 4-cup containers.
Divide the dumplings into the containers.
Place a piece of plastic wrap over the top of the soup, under the lid, to help prevent freezer burn. Seal and freeze.
To thaw, allow to defrost in the refrigerator and reheat on the stovetop on low heat adding a little milk or cream as needed.
Best of all, it’s such a simple recipe to prepare, you can make it any day of the week. As a result, you never have to wait until the weekend to enjoy this comfort food!
Enjoy!
With love from our simple kitchen to yours.
