What is a Good Thickener for Chicken and Dumplings
In order to thicken any type of soup, cornstarch is the key.
To make crescent roll chicken and dumplings like a pro, the secret ingredient is adding the perfect thickness.
To achieve that, stir together 1 cup of cool water and 2 tablespoons of cornstarch until fully blended, then add to your soup.
Bring the soup back to a good boil and incorporate the mixture for optimal results.
With this added step, you'll be sure to get all your family and friends raving about your crescent roll chicken and dumplings.
How to Make Chicken and Dumplings With Crescent Rolls
Place the chicken in a large pot and cover it with chicken broth. Add water, if needed, to fully cover the chicken in the pot.
Brink the liquid to a boil, then season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir to mix and reduce heat to simmer for 20 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.
While the chicken is cooking, remove the crescent roll dough and separate it into two rectangles. Pinch the seams together, then cut them into small squares with a pizza cutter.
When the chicken is cooked, remove it from the pot and set it aside to cool.
Add the cut crescent roll dough to the pot and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes, until the dough begins to float to the top of the pot.
While the dumplings are cooling, shred the chicken. Then, return the chicken to the pot and stir to mix.
Allow the chicken to cook for one to two minutes to warm up, then serve immediately.
Enjoy with a side salad, and crescent rolls, and don't forget dessert!
