Cracker Barrel sells more than 11 million orders of their Chicken N' Dumplins each year, and for good reason. You can't go wrong with an order (or two) of the Southern staple, which dates back to at least the 1870s. Contrary to popular belief, Chicken N' Dumplins is not a humble, Depression-era dish, but instead a classic of American cuisine, and before industrialized farming made chicken so cheap, it was a rather luxurious one, at that. Chicken N' Dumplins is made with juicy white meat chicken and flat strips of chewy dough, all covered in a hearty helping of the creamiest, richest chicken broth. Curious about the chain's version of the dish and how many calories it packs? Here's the truth about Cracker Barrel's Chicken N' Dumplins.
