Chicken and Dumplings

Let's talk about Chicken and Dumplings.  I think it's one of those recipes that there are so many variations on, you really just have to pick the one you prefer and go with it.

Chicken and Dumplings

I've made a few versions of it here on the blog, but this is one comes from a cookbook my sweet 9 year old boy gave me for Christmas.   America's Best Recipes Comfort Food.

I wasn't quite sure what to think of it because it is quite simple to make and I'm not a big fan of cream of this and that soup, and one of the ingredients in this recipe is cream of celery, but I decided to just go for it.

It turned out pretty tasty, the family enjoyed, especially my 13 year old who loves Chicken and Dumplings.

Return broth mixture to a low boil over medium-high heat.  Drop strips, 1 at a time, into boiling broth.  Reduce heat to low;  simmer 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent dumplings from sticking.
