    The only changes I made were 1.) Doubling the dumpling recipe, since my daughter loves them and 2.) Adding a slurry of 3/4 cup cold milk and 2 Tbsp corn starch at the end and simmering for 2 minutes, since CB's recipe has a slightly creamy sauce. It turned out great!

    Chicken and Dumplings Like Cracker Barrel’s,This tastes just like Cracker Barrel’s, if you have ever tried it. From book “Old Fashioned Country Cooking” found at Cracker Barrel.,The only changes I made were 1.) Doubling the dumpling recipe, since my daughter loves them and 2.) Adding a slurry of 3/4 cup cold milk and 2 Tbsp corn starch at the end and simmering for 2 minutes, since CB’s recipe has a slightly creamy sauce. It turned out great!,This was very tasty and pretty close to CB’s version!

    Steps

    1
    Done

    Place Chicken in a Dutch Oven. Add Water and 2 Teaspoons Salt. Bring to a Boil.

    2
    Done

    Cover, Reduce the Heat, and Simmer For 1 Hour or Until Tender (should Almost Fall Off Bone).

    3
    Done

    Remove the Chicken from the Broth and Cool. Bone the Chicken and Cut Meat Into Bite-Sized Pieces.

    4
    Done

    Bring the Broth to a Boil and Add Pepper.

    5
    Done

    Combine the Flour, Baking Soda, and Salt. Cut in the Shortening. Add the Buttermilk, Stirring With a Fork Until Moistened.

    6
    Done

    Knead the Dough 4 to 5 Times (never Done), and Pat to 1/2-Inch Pieces and Drop Into Boiling Broth (i Do not Pat It Out, Just Pinch Off Pieces). Reduce the Heat to Medium-Low, and Cook For About 8 to 10 Minutes, Stirring Occasionally.

    7
    Done

    Stir in the Chicken and Serve. I Make It in the Pressure Cooker, Much Quicker and Easier.

    8
    Done

    I Pressure It For Only 30 Minutes.

    9
    Done

    It Can Also Be Done in the Crockpot With 3-4 Cups Water but Someone Has That Book So at This Time I Cannot Give Cooking Times.

    Done

    Good Luck! Hope You Enjoy.
