I have always made my chicken and dumplings like my Mom....fluffy dumplings. My friend Brandi Warren invited me over to dinner one evening and let me take pictures and write down her recipe as she went along. This is a very good recipe and a break from the regular Chicken and Dumpling recipe. Delicious...thanks for sharing Brandi.
