SIMPLY DELICIOUS CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS

I think chicken and dumplings might be my favorite comfort food dish. It’s most definitely my son’s favorite. He has requested these simply delicious chicken and dumplings for his birthday dinner for the past few years, and I am always happy to make them for him. They are as simple as they are delicious because they start with a rotisserie chicken.

I found the dumpling recipe here and thanks to reader comments used melted butter instead of oil and cooked them covered for 25 minutes. They turn out light and fluffy every time I make them.
