The gravy is thick and creamy, with simple flavors that come straight from the vegetables and chicken. The dumplings are soft and delicate, and the chicken is so juicy and tender that one bite nearly melts right in your mouth. The result is a satisfying home-cooked meal that&#8217;ll leave your belly full and your taste buds happy.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for Copycat Cracker Barrel Chicken and Dumplings<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Chicken:\u00a0<\/strong>Aim for at least a 6-pound whole bird, as this will result in the tastiest broth and the best meat.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vegetables:\u00a0<\/strong>You&#8217;ll be using carrots, celery and onion.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Liquids: <\/strong>Any water that&#8217;s added will turn to flavorful broth, and you&#8217;ll add white vinegar to help encourage the break down of collagen and connective tissues, as well as release minerals from the broth. This is how you&#8217;ll get that nice thick gravy. The addition of salt to the liquids helps draw out flavors from the broth.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dumplings: <\/strong>The dumplings are made with all-purpose flour, salt, a large egg and pepper.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Boil down the chicken<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2045935\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Copycat-Cracker-Barrel-Chicken-And-Dumplings_TOHD24_5031_SheriSilver_9.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Chicken, carrots, celery and onion for Taste Recipes Copycat Cracker Barrel Chicken and Dumplings in a Dutch Oven\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Sheri Silver for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Place the chicken, carrots, celery and onion in a large Dutch oven or stockpot. Add water, the vinegar and salt. The amount of water is approximate, you just need enough to cover the chicken. Bring this to a boil.

Cut the meat into bite-sized pieces, then set it aside and keep it warm. Reserve 1 cup of the broth, and let it cool to lukewarm.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 3: Make the dumplings<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2045934\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Copycat-Cracker-Barrel-Chicken-And-Dumplings_TOHD24_5031_SheriSilver_8.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Egg and flour in a glass bowl for Taste Recipes Copycat Cracker Barrel Chicken and Dumplings\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Sheri Silver for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the flour, and add the egg. Gradually stir 1\/4 cup of the reserved broth into the egg, picking up flour as you go. Continue gently stirring and adding until the flour is used up, adding additional broth as needed until the dough is the consistency of pie dough. Pour any remaining reserved broth back into the stockpot.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 4: Rest the dough, then shape it<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2045933\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Copycat-Cracker-Barrel-Chicken-And-Dumplings_TOHD24_5031_SheriSilver_7.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Dough squares for Taste Recipes Copycat Cracker Barrel Chicken and Dumplings on parchment paper on a marble surface\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Sheri Silver for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Turn the dough onto a well-floured surface and knead in additional flour to form a stiff dough.

There should be about 4 quarts left at this point. Drop the dumplings into the boiling broth.

Then stir in the chicken and the pepper.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2045930\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Copycat-Cracker-Barrel-Chicken-And-Dumplings_TOHD24_5031_SheriSilver_4.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Taste Recipes Copycat Cracker Barrel Chicken and Dumplings in white bowls on a marble surface\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Sheri Silver for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Recipe Variations<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Add herbs:\u00a0<\/strong>Dried thyme, rosemary, basil, parsley or a mix of a few would taste lovely added in to the dumplings or broth. If using dried thyme or rosemary, be sure to very finely chop the dried herb prior to adding.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add vegetables: <\/strong>It&#8217;s hard to mess with the simplicity of copycat Cracker Barrel chicken and dumplings, but if you want to beef up your recipe, consider keeping the carrots, celery and onion and adding it back in once you add the chicken.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sprinkle in bacon:\u00a0<\/strong>As you&#8217;re simmering the dumplings, cook a half a pound or so of applewood smoked bacon.

Whether you&#8217;ve made these ahead or you want to freeze leftovers for later, drop your copycat chicken and dumplings into a completely airtight, freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.<\/p>\n<h2>Copycat Cracker Barrel Chicken and Dumplings Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2045926\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Copycat-Cracker-Barrel-Chicken-And-Dumplings_TOHD24_5031_SheriSilver_1.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Taste Recipes Copycat Cracker Barrel Chicken and Dumplings in white bowls on a marble surface\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Sheri Silver for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>How do I reheat chicken and dumplings?<\/h3>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve kept leftovers in the original stock pot, simply add it back to the stove and simmer on low. If you&#8217;re rewarming frozen copycat chicken and dumplings, first let them thaw overnight in the fridge. You can then pop the contents of your container into an oven-safe dish and rewarm in the oven at 350\u00b0F until desired warmth has been reached.<\/p>\n<p>Note: Both circumstances may require extra liquid to help the chicken and dumplings loosen up. Add slowly, as needed.<\/p>\n<h3>How do you thicken the broth into more of a gravy?<\/h3>\n<p>If you want a thicker texture, the secret is to add cornstarch to the broth, or all-purpose flour if you don&#8217;t have cornstarch on hand. You can add it by the tablespoon until desired texture has been reached.<\/p>\n<h3>What should I serve with copycat chicken and dumplings?<\/h3>\n<p>If you want to really copy the Cracker Barrel chicken and dumplings recipe, you can serve with a few country sides.

My mom made the drop dumplings but my husband prefers rolled. I also add back the vegetables, why waste them? I will also thicken a bit with some flour and add a bag of frozen peas for color. The one reason for me to always read the comments was the reason why sometimes the dumplings come out tough. Great tip to add some fat back into the broth. I didn't know. But, can someone explain why you put vinegar in the broth? This has me perplexed.  \nMy biggest cheat is using the left over carcass from that $4.99 Costco chicken and the wing tips I save and freeze just for making chicken broth. Can't afford to waste food anymore.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2021-10-24","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"GoldSushi"},"reviewBody":"doesnt matter how you make the dumplings \nas a Latina who lives here in Shreveport i'm down for yummy thick brothy chicken and dumplings!!","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2022-12-24","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"ZanneboJo"},"reviewBody":"<p>Followed exactly, believing to be a true-as-possible copy cat of Cracker Barrel Chicken & Dumplings.
