Today’s recipe comes from The Lucky Wife’s childhood and is her favorite recipe for Chicken and Dumplings. When her mom came to help us out after the birth of The Well-Fed Daughter, this was one of the meals she wanted her to make. The Well-Fed Son is not a big fan of chicken cooked this way, but he sure loves the dumplings.
Enjoy.
