Simple Chicken and Dumplings
This is my sister Debra's recipe and my kids always love it when she cooks it for them. It is simple, easy, basic...and very good! You can add a vegetable to the creamy broth if you would like (frozen peas or broccoli), but we like it just the way it is. *I always double this recipe because they always come back for 2nd helpings.
