Chicken and dumplings
Chicken and Dumplings is a beloved comfort food dish that warms both the heart and the soul. This classic recipe features tender, juicy chunks of chicken simmered in a flavorful broth, often enriched with aromatic vegetables like carrots, celery, and onions. The magic truly happens when fluffy dumplings are added, soaking up the savory juices and adding a delightful texture to the dish.
Typically, the chicken is cooked to perfection, allowing the meat to become wonderfully tender. The broth is seasoned with herbs like thyme and bay leaves, creating a rich and inviting flavor that fills the kitchen with an enticing aroma. The dumplings, made from a simple mixture of flour, baking powder, and milk or buttermilk, can be either fluffy biscuits or tender, noodle-like dumplings, depending on regional variations or personal preferences.
