This southern classic recipe is one that I inherited from my grandmother. It’s warm, hearty and very tasty! It’s a simple recipe but our family loves it. It’s also easy and quick to make. The dumplings are made from canned biscuits cut into (4) pieces and rolled into balls. My grandmother eventually started using flour tortillas to make the dumplings, but we still prefer the biscuits. Feel free to try both and see which dumplings your family likes.
What makes this Chicken and Dumplings recipe extra special is how simple it is to prepare.
