Man oh man do I love chicken and dumplings! Do you like the flat dumplings or the biscuit dumplings? I was raised with the flat but in college I worked as a waitress at a restaurant that made the biscuit dumplings and now prefer those. If you like the flat kind you can just buy them in the frozen section of the grocery like my Mom does. My grandma makes them from scratch and I can't tell the difference.

Here's how I make mine which is crazy easy-

I boil a whole chicken because I like some dark meat in mine but obviously you could just use breasts. I chill the broth so the fat solidifies and I can scoop it out (I have skipped this step). I take a can of Grands butter biscuits, cut them in quarters and throw them in a ziplock bag with flour. I boil the both and add the biscuits and cook them till they're just about done. Then I add my shredded chicken and dried thyme, salt and pepper. Then I just cook it until it's as thick as I want.

Before I discovered the butter biscuits I used to add butter but the butter in the biscuits is the perfect amount.

What a fun thread! I can't wait to see how everyone else cooks there's. I think there are regional differences because I know some people;e add veggies to their's but we don't do that in FL or GA that I know of.
