It’s whats for dinner tonight 😀
I’ve been making this for 40 years, so in keeping with my usual MO…I never use a recipe, no measuring or timing…except for the dumplings. This recipe reblog is as close to it as it can be. Pretty much exact. I know. ..that’s an oxymoron. But you know what I mean. 😉
Chicken, yes…2 days in a row. Yesterday was old-school pan-fried chicken. Along with some greens, mac & cheese & baked beans. I bought large packages because it was on sale. It works out perfectly with the cloudy day & cool down in temperature today. I don’t think it even reached 70º.
I love chicken & dumplings any time though. Hope you enjoy!

I will always be grateful for the memories. Especially making that the memories for my kids growing up.

This recipe for chicken and dumplings ranks as one of my top favorite dishes, and it certainly fits the bill for comfort foods: warms the tummy, filling, and mouth-droolingly scrumptious.
By the way, did you know that chicken and dumplings is highly regional? Northerners go for the fluffy, biscuit-like version while Southerners go for a flat, noodle-like “dumpling.” If you want to read some funny, overly-reactive comments about these differences, check out people’s responses to The Pioneer Woman’s chicken and dumpling recipe (which I want to try one of these days for comparison purposes). Obviously, people are very passionate about their notions of chicken and dumplings. You see, she lives in the southern region of the nation and has a recipe with fluffy dumplings, which goes against the notion of a true dumpling according to southern standards.
Anyhow, I found this recipe a couple of years ago in a Cooks…
