Cooking Chicken and Dumplings tonight brought back sweet memories of my dear mother in law. She always had the best chicken and dumplings! She loved to cook, and she put love in every dish she made. Sunday meals at her home will always be remembered in my heart. She made a huge impression on my children, and today, years later, they still talk about their favorite dishes she made for them. I am very grateful for her love and the love she put into her meals. Begin With A Big PotTonight I made a big pot of chicken and dumplings and I used her pot. This pot was well loved and used for many meals in her home. She made not only chicken and dumplings but also soups, mashed potatoes, stews, green beans, and too many other dishes to name in this pot. Her memories were sweet tonight as I prepared dinner for my family. My chicken and dumplings recipe is very easy. I cheated a little and used canned biscuits for my dumplings. You can certainly make your dumplings from scratch, ( see my homemade biscuit recipe) but I was in a bit of a rush to get dinner on the table at a decent hour and before my family cleaned out the snack corner! 🙂 What kind of Chicken for Chicken and Dumplings?For this recipe, I use boneless,
