Homemade Chicken & Dumplings
Homemade Chicken & Dumplings
I just came up with this chicken & dumplings recipe yesterday and they were soo good. Perfect for a blizzard! You can add 2 chopped carrots if you want and add them in with the onions and I like thick soup so I add a heaping teaspoon of corn starch to a jar with ¼ cup water and shake it up then add it to the stock when you add the dumplings.
