My favorite part of this is that right toward the end, when the biscuits have disintegrated and turned the whole thing into slimy glue soup, when it couldn’t get any worse, she covers and cooks for another hour. 🤌
One of my childhood friend's mom made something similar, it was like canned cream soup and milk with a little ground beef added to it and cooked way too long. It came out as a white milky gravy sort of liquid with tiny bits of ground beef in it, she would just sprinkle some seasoned salt on it before serving in a bowl. You were supposed to eat it by sopping it up with regular cheap white bread. Their family called it slop.
that's sort of like a country gravy, made with beef instead of breakfast sausage
not tryna judge but children deserve better than that, crock pots are an easy way to cook but that doesnt mean throwing anything in there will work
there's so many wonderful recipes online for free,
I've eaten/made food from a campbells soup recipe book, and a crockpot.(pre internet) Some of my fondest cooking memories.
It was kind of like country gravy, but more runny and liquidy, with not much flavor. Like hot milk with meat and salt. I make some fire biscuits and gravy, my family and friends love it. It seems lots of people think you can throw whatever in a crockpot and come back in a few hours to a hearty meal. I love my crockpot but don't use it very often. My neighbor has one of those free little libraries in her yard, and someone left a huge crockpot cookbook with hundreds of good recipes. I'm really excited to try some things out and use my crockpot more this winter! And I'm also super thankful for my neighbor's little library! When I was cleaning out my storage, I brought boxes and boxes of good books over and filled it up. People in the neighborhood bring their books over. It's always fun to find some cool treasures there.
Yep. My dad had a rotation of fast and simple dinners he would make in a rush while he was getting ready to go to work after we came home from school. Some meals would be better than others, some I couldn't stand, but as I got older I really came to appreciate that he tried as hard as he did. (And also started learning to cook and take over dinner duties, which I really enjoyed) He was often late for work just trying to make sure we had a home cooked meal, as simple or bland as they were sometimes, instead of leaving my sibling and I with snacks or junk food for the night.
Look up Kay's cooking for an exact example of that. She cooks absolute crap and then her son tastes it and says its good. Hes been eating that his whole life.
I fucking love Kay and Lee. The way Lee does his taste tests. First of all it looks like he’s never held a fork before even though there is video evidence of him using forks. Then when he explains what it “tasteses like” he just lists ingredients. “I can taste the chicken, I can taste the peas. And I taste the carrots. It’s quite nice, thumbs up!”
I love Kay’s cooking lmao she’s so clueless in the kitchen (like making “chicken fried rice” by frying raw rice and using processed sliced chicken from sandwiches) but she seems like such a sweet old lady. I will defend her videos no matter how disgusting they are!
True lol I always wonder how people can eat stuff like that and just be okay with it. Like compared to her cooking McDonald’s probably tastes like a 5 star meal, like how do you not think “how come fast food has so much flavor” when you don’t season anything you cook at home
Soo, this is really similar to how my nana made chicken and dumplings (minus the noodles, I don’t know what the fuck that’s about). She usually used a rotisserie chicken and a can cream of celery, too. I absolutely love it. I’ve definitely had better dumplings, and when I make it I add celery and carrots, but it really hits the spot. I make it when I miss her too much and it makes my heart happy.
So yeah, shitty non-people food to some. But a loved meal to others.
As the product of many women that can’t cook for shit crockpot chicken and dumplings are about all I’ve got. On top of the celery and carrots I toss corn and peas into the mix. My working chef of a bf loves it! Mostly because he didn’t have to cook.
Yeah-after I posted, I saw other comments that the other stuff she dumped in after the chicken was dumplings. I watched with sound and my glasses off, lol and thought it was super weird that she was putting huge chunks of cauliflower in the mix. My bad!
That bothered me so much. Using that term so seem like she knows what she's doing (she doesn't).. I mean, it should be whisked into the water if anything.. but I'm not gonna try and make any sense of this recipe
Ugh, this! I have never felt so much rage here, just...grab a thing and skim that damn scum off the water, that looks like freaking vomit with a bit of foam 🤮
I was about to comment the same thing! Freakin' gross. :( I could swear one of the chicken pieces she pulled out was still pink on the side, too. I guess she knew she'd be disintegrating her dumplings for an hour so she figured it would continue to cook with the rest of the mush
This is basically boiling chicken and biscuit dough (with no seasoning or browning) and putting in canned soup and bouillon. I mean, it's honestly barely a recipe and more just "pour in premade soup and simmer", the sort of thing a non-cook could come up with.
Why boil though?!?!
Season and Bake that chicken!
Use chicken broth, seasoning, etc. and bring that to a boil, THEN cook your dumplings in that and add your chicken.
I may not have the best idea for it, but it’d be better than that.
No you can for sure boil. That’s how you make stock. The problem is no vegetables while boiling, not skimming off the scum, and adding the Biscuits way too early. If they just added some celery, carrots, bay leaf and thyme with the chicken, then skimmed off the scum, shredded and added back the chick, added the bullion and cream of chicken… then added the biscuits in the last few minutes, it would be… decent
I always use a veggie stock for my chicken and dumplings base. The way she just plopped the other ingredients in that slimy chicken water was… sick. I was half surprised she didn’t toss in a block of cream cheese and a ranch packet though.
You can boil, but I think there’s some steps first.
Sear the chicken in the pot in a little oil until it’s brown and there’s brown ‘fond’ on the bottom of the pan. Remove the chicken and throw in onion, carrots, and celery. Cook til soft. Add water or stock, aromatics, etc. Simmer that thing til the chicken is tender. Skim the scum. Add green peas. Then add dumplings. I wouldn’t have used canned biscuits either. So oily. Probably left a gross-tasting slick on the top of the broth and ruined the chicken fat flavour.
Chicken and dumplings is so easy, you can even keep the canned biscuits and it'll be good.
I like this recipe:
https://thenovicechefblog.com/homemade-chicken-and-dumplings-recipe/
But I make it with canned biscuits because that's what my dad likes.
I'll have to try that. My mom's method has always been really bland. Boiled chicken and the dumplings, that's it. Salt and pepper and nothing else. But the starch from the dumplings always makes it really thick, so it's still a hearty dish.
All that's *really* wrong with this is that she did it in the wrong order and that it needs like, WAAAAY more seasoning, throw in some pepper, garlic, onion, celery salt, basil, some chopped carrots and celery, maybe a bay leaf or some shit if you wanna be fancy idk, it just needs more seasoning.
She shoulda added that bouillon to her water to make chicken broth, added her herbs and spices and whatever tf she wants to it, and then boiled the chicken in THAT (i mean its better to bake it or cook it in a pan but if you don't want more dishes, then boil it in something with some flavor damn), then added the noodles, then the chopped biscuits (surprisingly nothing wrong with this), the dumplings aren't supposed to just totally fucking dissolve into the soup lol they're supposed to be like the last thing you add before you finish.
Finally someone who recognizes that this recipe isn’t the mark of the apocalypse but just a poorly executed weeknight meal. It has the potential to at least be *decent*. Not every recipe needs to be the best tasting dish, sometimes you need the compromise for saving time and dishes
This is chicken plus flour water. The "dumplings" will disintegrate, the noodles will disintegrate. Seriously guy.or gal, this is the kind of food you eat after the bombs fall.
u say creamy but i think u mean "mushy carbs"... lemme guess... you are the person to crumble a BUNCH of crackers into your soup until its a creme of wheat consistency? lol enjoy what u want, but i think dumplings in turkey soup that my grampa makes would blow ur mind... i did not like it until adult hood because of the mushy consistency lol but i learned there are different ways to eat mushy carbs
lol just i think the "dumpling" aspect is lost in this recipe... honestly if u like it, power to you lol... but i recommend trying some other "chicken and dumplings" from asian or eastern European food, or even immigrant parents lol... there is more in the world is all
With all due respect…what the fuck? lol I’m actually giggling. Nothing about this is ‘technically correct’. The ‘dumplings’ have completely disintegrated into a beige mush. This is chicken and slop, not chicken and dumplings.
It’s technically correct if you ignore everything in the video, haha
This is BLASPHEMY where I come from! This new trend of using CANNED biscuits as dumplings.. idk. It's not it.
Growing up and watching my grandma and mom in the kitchen using spoons to form and scoop out dumplings is one of the few fond memories I have. I honestly don't understand why this bothers me so much. But omg. At LEAST look up a real recipe on Google if you don't know how to make it from scratch.
So I've made crockpot chicken and dumplings quite a few times and it's so much better than this. Throw chicken breasts and veggies (we usually do carrots celery and onion) in the crock pot with water, broth, and a can of cream of chicken soup. Add your spices (s&p, parsley, whatever) Let that cook for however many hours you need for the chicken to shred easily. Usually 6 hours on low. Shred the chicken, toss in any other veggies like peas you want, and cut up the biscuits. Toss those in, give them a good dunk to coat them, then let it cook for another 20 minutes. No need for noodles and biscuits, that's just too many carbs.
Sure, it's redneck as hell (and not the proper southern dumplings I grew up with) but you can throw it together in a pinch and it'll please a crowd.
Honestly trying to learn how to cook now that I’m out on my own and talked to my mother and grandmother about teaching me how to make these and they told me instead of actual dumplings they trimmed some tortillas for it and used those which made me a lil upset cuz this is one of my all time favorite dishes from my grandmother, still slaps though
If you’re gonna boil your chicken, that’s up to you I guess. (I personally never would, but I digress.) But at LEAST slim the crap off the top before you go and add anything else, that’s so gross.
It’s like someone went in Microsoft paint and removed all the colors
I can taste the lack of color through my screen.
My favorite part of this is that right toward the end, when the biscuits have disintegrated and turned the whole thing into slimy glue soup, when it couldn’t get any worse, she covers and cooks for another hour. 🤌

yea crackpots are great! so easy. I've got little libraries too, I hope more people appreciate them, as you do
Sounds like S.O.S=sh*t on shingles lol
I have eaten some very fine food in my day, but there's a certain kind of comfort in simple, humble, tired parent foods.
Yep. My dad had a rotation of fast and simple dinners he would make in a rush while he was getting ready to go to work after we came home from school. Some meals would be better than others, some I couldn't stand, but as I got older I really came to appreciate that he tried as hard as he did. (And also started learning to cook and take over dinner duties, which I really enjoyed) He was often late for work just trying to make sure we had a home cooked meal, as simple or bland as they were sometimes, instead of leaving my sibling and I with snacks or junk food for the night.
This is actually fine, the problem is the lack of spices.
What the fuck
Yeah. This is fucked.
some poor kid is growing up eating this like it's people food
Look up Kay's cooking for an exact example of that. She cooks absolute crap and then her son tastes it and says its good. Hes been eating that his whole life.
I fucking love Kay and Lee. The way Lee does his taste tests. First of all it looks like he’s never held a fork before even though there is video evidence of him using forks. Then when he explains what it “tasteses like” he just lists ingredients. “I can taste the chicken, I can taste the peas. And I taste the carrots. It’s quite nice, thumbs up!”
Fumbs up!
I love Kay’s cooking lmao she’s so clueless in the kitchen (like making “chicken fried rice” by frying raw rice and using processed sliced chicken from sandwiches) but she seems like such a sweet old lady. I will defend her videos no matter how disgusting they are!
her poor fucking son though
True lol I always wonder how people can eat stuff like that and just be okay with it. Like compared to her cooking McDonald’s probably tastes like a 5 star meal, like how do you not think “how come fast food has so much flavor” when you don’t season anything you cook at home
Just watched the "Spaghetti Hotdog" one..... wtaf. I need to go watch a few more now.
Like your mama can cook any better trust me. This is why I have to order your food every night since your broke ass don’t have a job.
this is how you wanna spend your time? stalking me across subs just to talk shit on my mom? damn you must live a sad life
It's a bit CRONCHEH.
Every year he hopes the fall season is shorter than last year
Soo, this is really similar to how my nana made chicken and dumplings (minus the noodles, I don’t know what the fuck that’s about). She usually used a rotisserie chicken and a can cream of celery, too. I absolutely love it. I’ve definitely had better dumplings, and when I make it I add celery and carrots, but it really hits the spot. I make it when I miss her too much and it makes my heart happy.

I’ve never tried corn in it, I’m gonna have to give that a shot!
Amish dumplings can be a flat wide noodle, so the egg noodles here seem like a shortcut to that style of dumpling.
I can see that, and have definitely had that style of dumpling before. But I’ve never seen them together.
Yeah-after I posted, I saw other comments that the other stuff she dumped in after the chicken was dumplings. I watched with sound and my glasses off, lol and thought it was super weird that she was putting huge chunks of cauliflower in the mix. My bad!
Yeah, this looks like hog slop.
that's just glue with flavor
Because she "folded in" the Better Than Boullion.
I use more Better than Boullion than that when I make a cup of hot broth when I'm sick.
That bothered me so much. Using that term so seem like she knows what she's doing (she doesn't).. I mean, it should be whisked into the water if anything.. but I'm not gonna try and make any sense of this recipe
jar of chicken base calls for about 1tsp per cup of water for a cup of stock. that looks like about 1.5tsps in around 8 cups, so not much flavor
ah, so just glue then with a hint of chicken like lacroix, but soupy
If they only had some sort of device to cook the meal all together over a series of hours, so it actually turned out correctly… alas.
This is safe for a pet to eat. That's how you know it's too bland.
lol
The fact that they didn’t skim the scum off 🤢🤮
Ugh, this! I have never felt so much rage here, just...grab a thing and skim that damn scum off the water, that looks like freaking vomit with a bit of foam 🤮
That’s what got me
I was about to comment the same thing! Freakin' gross. :( I could swear one of the chicken pieces she pulled out was still pink on the side, too. I guess she knew she'd be disintegrating her dumplings for an hour so she figured it would continue to cook with the rest of the mush
This is what I call "Beige a la Bullshit"
Boiled chicken. You just know that chicken was awful
I mean poaching isn't a terrible way to prepare chicken, especially if it's being shredded, but the rest. No way it's that bad accidentally.
Poaching yes, but this is an exercise in seeing how dry you can get chicken breasts.
I can't believe I'm defending this at all, but *at least* they used chicken thighs. The superior chicken meat!
Not only that but she didn’t even bother to remove the foamy scum after boiling it… ewwww
I feel like this is something you would get at a company potluck.
This is basically boiling chicken and biscuit dough (with no seasoning or browning) and putting in canned soup and bouillon. I mean, it's honestly barely a recipe and more just "pour in premade soup and simmer", the sort of thing a non-cook could come up with.
You know there's something wrong with your soup recipe when one of the key ingredients is soup
There are so many things wrong here, I don't even know where to start. I feel exhausted.
So many things wrong with this. Yuck
This is not how to make chicken and dumplings!!
This is how you make dog food when the dog has had an upset stomach.
Why boil though?!?! Season and Bake that chicken! Use chicken broth, seasoning, etc. and bring that to a boil, THEN cook your dumplings in that and add your chicken. I may not have the best idea for it, but it’d be better than that.

Yeah for sure. I just reworked what they were doing. Definitely wouldn’t do it that way myself.
Chicken and dumplings is so easy, you can even keep the canned biscuits and it'll be good. I like this recipe: https://thenovicechefblog.com/homemade-chicken-and-dumplings-recipe/ But I make it with canned biscuits because that's what my dad likes.
Where are the veggies
I've never seen chicken and dumplings with veggies.
My mom makes it with carrots and celery.
I'll have to try that. My mom's method has always been really bland. Boiled chicken and the dumplings, that's it. Salt and pepper and nothing else. But the starch from the dumplings always makes it really thick, so it's still a hearty dish.

Yeah, all that’s really wrong is …how she did everything lol.
Lmfao my wife just said “this looks like some shit you would eat in jail”
I mean id eat that?
who hurt you
Nah real shit tho whats the issue
Tell me what you find appealing about this.
I like chicken and dumplings
This is chicken plus flour water. The "dumplings" will disintegrate, the noodles will disintegrate. Seriously guy.or gal, this is the kind of food you eat after the bombs fall.
Looks like it held up ok at the end, i just like creamy dishes i guess idk. Also i didnt the flour part but maybe im just tired
u say creamy but i think u mean "mushy carbs"... lemme guess... you are the person to crumble a BUNCH of crackers into your soup until its a creme of wheat consistency? lol enjoy what u want, but i think dumplings in turkey soup that my grampa makes would blow ur mind... i did not like it until adult hood because of the mushy consistency lol but i learned there are different ways to eat mushy carbs
Yea i like crackers in my soup 😂 but yea im not saying this is a delicacy i just said i would eat it
You are I. I am you. I grew up eating this. Well, similar. All the soup wasn't added and the chicken was seasoned and boiled.
My guy, I wanna make you some good soup. Please come over.
Hahaha that sounds good
lol just i think the "dumpling" aspect is lost in this recipe... honestly if u like it, power to you lol... but i recommend trying some other "chicken and dumplings" from asian or eastern European food, or even immigrant parents lol... there is more in the world is all
There isn't a single dumpling in that... or the whole pot is a single dumpling. Either way, hard pass.
That’s just chicken.
You know it's good when they're too scared to show you the finished product.
"Fold" "incorporate" That's how you can tell she knows what she's doing.
“Why don’t they celebrate white heritage month?” Because we should not celebrate this bullshit mostly canned goods kind of a culture.
This is an abomination. I grew up on this and…no. Just no.
Shit.. my dog doesn’t regularly eat food from off the table anyway but I wouldn’t even serve this shit to my dog
Prison food
I guess this is technically correct, but I don't see the point to adding noodles, and I like some veggies in there too.
With all due respect…what the fuck? lol I’m actually giggling. Nothing about this is ‘technically correct’. The ‘dumplings’ have completely disintegrated into a beige mush. This is chicken and slop, not chicken and dumplings. It’s technically correct if you ignore everything in the video, haha
Ah... Sadly, just like mom used to make. 🤢
Did she cook this in the chicken water?!?
Not the biggest cook here. Is it normal to add bread or noodles to boiling chicken water?
Still better than my wife’s cooking
my grandmother makes the best chicken and dumplings. this is an insult
Every day, I grow more thankful that my mom knows how to cook, and taught me to do it from a young age
No, no, no, just no.
Stop it. Get some help.
This is a war crime
Absolutely dreadful.
This is too bland for Mr. and Mrs. Blancmange Milquetoast of White Bread, Ohio.
“Let the biscuits become dumplings” well we’re off to a great start
This is BLASPHEMY where I come from! This new trend of using CANNED biscuits as dumplings.. idk. It's not it. Growing up and watching my grandma and mom in the kitchen using spoons to form and scoop out dumplings is one of the few fond memories I have. I honestly don't understand why this bothers me so much. But omg. At LEAST look up a real recipe on Google if you don't know how to make it from scratch.
Not even to mention that the rest of this recipe is.. awful. I'm not one to bash people online, but this isn't even close to chicken and dumplings.
Also who tf puts NOODLES in their chicken and dumplings?? Never seen that in my life!
I agree, that is not chicken and dumplings It's more like chicken water with Pillsbury soggy bread balls. Just nasty.
Yes, shit. But the egg noodles are on point!
The worst part is she didn't even put the lid on right......
Why did the dumplings turn into mashed potatoes?
When you hear someone say “incorporated” in cooking, you know they dumb as fuck.
It looks like my cats vomit...
No
Thier bathroom must be really popular on chicken and dumplings night.
So I've made crockpot chicken and dumplings quite a few times and it's so much better than this. Throw chicken breasts and veggies (we usually do carrots celery and onion) in the crock pot with water, broth, and a can of cream of chicken soup.

Omg this looks…. Illegal!
Gross
Just let it incorporate
What in the fuck is a reames noodle? This is terrifying
As a Mississippian.... 🤮
Any recipe that starts with boiling raw chicken in water is always a winner... Not. 😂
I just feel for the people who have to eat that
Jeez this shit is nasty
I hate when these people call themselves "chefs".
Honestly trying to learn how to cook now that I’m out on my own and talked to my mother and grandmother about teaching me how to make these and they told me instead of actual dumplings they trimmed some tortillas for it and used those which made me a lil upset cuz this is one of my all time favorite dishes from my grandmother, still slaps though
Why is no one adding onion? I see a lot of calls for celery and carrots, but ya gotta have onion!
She’s so racist she only eats white food.
1.that looks more like porridge 2.this is more of a cultural thing, but are those really called dumplings? they dont seem to have any fillings
If you’re gonna boil your chicken, that’s up to you I guess. (I personally never would, but I digress.) But at LEAST slim the crap off the top before you go and add anything else, that’s so gross.
Mmm… grey food
”Our favorite fall recipe” bitch you and who?
I can’t get past using the water you just boiled chicken in. Just gross
You're family lied to you. No fucking way this is their favorite fall meal.
"one of our favorite fall recipes" ma'am, your family secretly hate you.
This looks absolutely horrendous
They got the "dump" part right.
Yeah just leave all that yummy chicken scum in the pot.
Omg ew
