The beginning of fall means cooler temps and thoughts of favorite cold-weather recipes. Across the Lone Star state, that means chicken and dumplings are back at participating DQ restaurants in Texas! The homemade recipe is a deliciously hearty dish with tender chicken, scrumptious gravy and fluffy dumplings that bring comfort just in time for fall and winter.

Going into its 14th year, chicken and dumplings are the ultimate comfort food available in Houston.

“This is a really great dish that people are surprised to find on our menu,” said Lou Romanus, CEO of the Texas Dairy Queen Operator’s Council. “Based on a homemade recipe from a DQ restaurant owner’s mom, chicken and dumplings are a great representation of the variety of options available for our fans at participating DQ restaurants in Texas.”

This fan-favorite comfort food comes in 12-,16- and 32-ounce servings and is perfect for dine in, drive-thru and take-out, as well as delivery, where available.

Fans can keep up with all the innovative ways to quench their cravings with “The Best Treats & Eats in Texas” in the DQ® Texas mobile app.
