This homemade Chicken and Dumplings recipe is comfort food at its best. Chicken breasts simmering in a homemade creamy sauce topped with doughy dumplings…can it get any better for a weeknight winter dinner? Making the dumplings is super easy and they cook right in the same skillet as the chicken. This is also an easy dinner to make in advance and have it ready to just heat up at dinnertime.
Also, do you have picky eaters in your house? We think you will find this a big winner with the little ones as our kid testers gobbled this right up. They loved using the dumplings to soak up all the excess gravy….and did not even notice the veggies they were eating in the process!
