Do you want cauliflower added, or do you want cauliflower used instead of dumplings?
Here are the two most common ways—pick what fits your goal 👇
Option 1: Chicken & Dumplings with Cauliflower Added
(closest to the original, just extra veg)
How to do it
- Cut 1 small head cauliflower into small florets.
- Add it to the simmering broth 10–12 minutes before serving.
- Then add shredded chicken and finish as usual.
Tip: Keep florets small so they stay tender but don’t fall apart.
Option 2: Low-Carb Cauliflower Dumplings (No Flour)
Great if you want a lighter or keto-style version.
Ingredients
- 3 cups cauliflower florets
- 1 egg
- ¼ cup almond flour (or all-purpose if not low-carb)
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan (optional but recommended)
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp pepper
Instructions
- Steam cauliflower until very soft.
- Drain extremely well, then mash or rice it.
- Mix with egg, flour, cheese, salt, and pepper.
- Drop spoonfuls into gently simmering chicken broth.
- Cook 8–10 minutes, flipping once, until set.
Result: Soft, tender dumplings with mild flavor.
If you want, I can:
- make it fully keto
- keep it Cracker Barrel–style but veggie-boosted
- or turn it into a cauliflower chicken stew
Just tell me which direction you want 😊
