Chicken & Dumplings

Very satisfying! These were exactly the light and fluffy Chicken & Dumplings we were looking for. My mom made a similar recipe for this comforting dish, and I still remember the wonderful aroma of chicken and dumplings cooking throughout the house.

Chicken & Dumplings

She didn’t make it often, but when she did, what a treat. I especially loved the light, tender dumplings, which is still my most favorite part of this dish.

For those of you who like a more Southern style of dumpling (heavier, chewier), the recipe is at the bottom.

Best Juicy Fried Chicken – Granny’s Secret Ingredient

This is hands down the best juicy fried chicken ever! I never would have thought to use this ingredient for chicken batter.  The chicken fries up so wonderfully.

It’s juicy and moist with a crispy crunchy coating on the outside.

Chicken soup and cornstarch is the secret ingredient to this delicious mouth watering juicy fried chicken.

Instead of frying you can bake it in the oven at 375 for 1-1/2 hours. It turns out GREAT!!! The skin is nice & crispy & the meat is moist.

The Best Juicy Fried Chicken ever! Crispy on the outside. Juicy on the inside!

Course: Main Course
Cuisine: American
Keyword: Best Juicy Fried Chicken
Servings: 4
Calories: 365 kcal
Ingredients
  • 6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 10 3/4 ounce can condensed cream of chicken soup, undiluted
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt
  • 10 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons
  • 10 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon seasoning salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper optional
Instructions
  1. In a shallow dish or bowl combine the egg with the soup and 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt; mix until thoroughly combined.
  2. Add the chicken pieces and using your clean hands toss to coat completely; set aside or you may refrigerate until ready to finish making the recipe.
  3. In a medium bowl mix together the flour with the cornstarch, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, paprika, 1 teaspoon seasoned salt and black pepper.
  4. Working with one piece of chicken at a time, place the soup-coated chicken into the flour mixture and toss to coat completely.
  5. Add more flour and/or cornstarch if necessary adding them in equal parts (there should be an equal amount of each in the mixture, if you add in 2 tablespoons flour you must add in 2 tablespoons cornstarch with the flour).
  6. Place the coated chicken on a rack and allow to sit until it becomes doughy (THIS IS A CRUCIAL STEP to ensure crispiness when fried).
  7. Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium heat (be certain to use enough oil to cover the chicken pieces).
  8. Once the chicken is doughy test oil by dropping in a piece of the "dough" into it. The oil is ready when it starts to fry immediately.
  9. Fry the chicken pieces in oil for about 10 minutes or until cooked through and juices run clear.
  10. Drain on a rack.

Enjoy!
