Old Fashioned Chicken and Dumplings
Tara on Jan 14th 2015
I can think of few main dishes with more Southern flair than Chicken and Dumplings. I do not recall either of my parents making this dish in our home. Chicken and Dumplings were given the respect they deserved. Only my Grandmothers were worthy enough to make them. There was no special family recipe written down. […]

Every southern gal needs a quick and tasty one dish meal to whip up in 10 minutes when unexpected chaos arrives at mealtime. This recipe is made with canned chicken in a pinch, but could also be made with a deli style rotisserie chicken or regular chicken breast if time allows. But trust me and […]
