Ingredients
1 Kardea Brown Chicken & Dumplings (frozen)
Cooking spray or parchment liner (to prevent sticking)
Optional Add-Ons & Extras:
Cracked black pepper or smoked paprika for extra depth
Chopped fresh parsley or green onions for garnish
A drizzle of hot sauce or a pinch of Cajun seasoning for a spicy kick
Extra shredded chicken or broth for an even heartier dish
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Air Fryer
Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and let it preheat for about 3-5 minutes. This ensures even heating while keeping the dumplings soft and the broth rich.
Step 2: Prepare the Frozen Meal
Remove the meal from the box and plastic film, keeping the food inside its tray.
Lightly cover the top with foil to retain moisture and prevent the dumplings from drying out.
Step 3: Air Fry the Chicken & Dumplings
First Round: Cook at 375°F for 14-16 minutes with foil on top.
Second Round: Remove the foil and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until the dumplings are warm and slightly golden on top.
For Extra Richness: Stir in a tablespoon of butter or cream in the last 2 minutes of cooking.
Step 4: Serve & Enjoy
Carefully remove the meal from the air fryer and let it rest for 1-2 minutes before eating.
Garnish with fresh parsley, black pepper, or a drizzle of hot honey for extra flavor.
How to Serve This Chicken & Dumplings
Classic Southern Style: Serve with a side of cornbread or collard greens.
Savory Upgrade: Drizzle with extra chicken broth or a touch of heavy cream.
Spicy Kick: Add hot sauce or a sprinkle of cayenne pepper.
Pro Tips for Best Results
Cover with foil for the first 14 minutes to retain moisture.
For a slightly crisp dumpling top, remove foil for the last 5 minutes.
Want a richer broth? Stir in a tablespoon of butter or a splash of heavy cream before serving.
For extra flavor, sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, or smoked paprika.
