Best Ever Chicken And Dumplings
I got this recipe off of food network. It is tyler florence's recipe. This is definitely the best chicken and dumplings i have ever had. I have tried other recipes of his and so far they are all delicious. You won't be disappointed in these. It really is easy to make. It only takes a while because of the chicken baking first and then making the chicken stock next.
