Chicken and Dumplings
Such a classic dish that I rarely ever eat but I’m going to have to change that because this was goood! And like I always say, soooo easy! These homemade dumplings are delicious! Seems like a lot of work but don’t let that intimidate you! 4 ingredients will make the fluffiest dumplings you’ve ever tasted! I added a little thyme because it gives them such a fresh flavor!
I love making this for a comforting Sunday family dinner! So hearty and warming! Makes it so nice that it comes together all in one pot! The chicken cooks in the broth but you could also use rotisserie for an even quicker dish! I hope you and your family love it!!
