Classic Chicken and Dumplings

Here I present my recipe for the all-American classic; Chicken and Dumplings, with the FLUFFIEST dumplings you’ll ever taste 🙂

Aw Pinterest [4], how you inspire me!

I kept seeing a recipe for a copycat rendition of Cracker Barrel Chicken and Dumplings…

This one [5].

I almost followed it to the letter but I used shredded turkey I had in the freezer and I skipped the celery.

The recipe was good but when I think dumplings, I think DUMPLINGS!
