5. Pour the pasta evenly into the pie shell. Top with remaining 1/2 cup Italian cheese.
6. Bake for about 25 minutes, or until cheese on top is bubbling and brown.
7. While baking, grill chicken on stove top in a small amount of cooking oil. Toss chicken before cooking in pepper, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning.

Homemade Cracker Barrel Chicken and Dumplings

 

The perfect comfort food that comes from Cracker Barrel Restaurant, one of my favorites.  I've had this dish many times at the restaurant.  It will be awesome to make it myself.

Click here for the source recipe page with more photos and complete description from the website All Free Copycat Recipes.

Ingredients

• For the Chicken Stock:
• 1 chicken, whole or cut up
• 3 carrots, peeled and cut in half
• 4 stalks of celery, cut in half
• 1 onion, peeled and cut in half
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 2 teaspoons dried sage
• Salt and pepper to taste
•  
• For the Dumplings:
• 2 cups flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3 tablespoons crisco
• 3/4 cup milk
•  
• 2 carrots, chopped (optional)
• 2 stalks of celery, chopped (optional)
• 1 small onion
• 2 teaspoon dried sage

       Salt and pepper to taste

To Make the Chicken Stock:

Place all ingredients for the chicken stock in a large stock pot. Fill with water until all the ingredients are covered.

Bring the ingredients to a light simmer and let simmer over low heat for about 2 hours. Then remove the pieces of chicken and set aside. 

Strain the rest of the stock, discarding all the vegetables.

After the chicken cools, cut it into pieces or shred it, depending on how you like your chicken and dumplings.

To Make the Dumplings:

Mix together all of the dumpling ingredients in a mixing bowl until they come together and form a ball. 

Add more flour if dough is too sticky and more milk if dough is too dry.

Place the ball of dough on a floured surface. 

Knead a few times until smooth. 

Roll out the dough with a rolling pin until it is about 1/8 inch thick.

Cut the rolled out dough into slices, then smaller bite-sized pieces. These will be your dumplings.

To Assemble:

Heat the remaining ingredients in a large pot with 6 cups of the strained stock. 

Add the reserved chicken. 

Add more water if the ingredients are not covered. Bring to a boil.Put the heat on low and add the cut-up dumplings.

Simmer on low for 30 minutes or until dumplings are cooked through and the broth has thickened.

If the broth is not thick enough, create a slurry by mixing together 1 teaspoon of flour and a 1/4 cup water in a small bowl. Then whisk into the broth and let simmer an additional 5 minutes.
