Cracker Barrel Chicken and Dumplings

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I Make This Recipe with Rotisserie Chicken?

Yes! Using rotisserie chicken is a quick alternative. Simply shred the cooked rotisserie chicken and add it to the broth after the dumplings are cooked.

What if I Don’t Have Baking Powder?

If you don’t have baking powder, you can substitute it with a mixture of baking soda and cream of tartar (use ¼ teaspoon baking soda and ½ teaspoon cream of tartar per teaspoon of baking powder).

Can I Freeze Chicken and Dumplings?

While the chicken and broth freeze well, the dumplings can become a bit soggy when thawed and reheated. If you plan to freeze, consider freezing just the chicken and broth, then making fresh dumplings when you’re ready to serve.

Pairing Suggestions

Cracker Barrel Chicken and Dumplings is a hearty dish on its own, but it pairs beautifully with a side of steamed green beans, corn on the cob, or a crisp green salad. For dessert, consider serving with classic Southern sweets like peach cobbler or apple pie.
