Chicken & Dumplings

.
Growing up, I never thought I liked chicken and dumplings. Grandma always ended up leaving some bones in the pot no matter how careful she was in cooking. One day, Mom made this version and I discovered that I loved them! There is something warm and satisfying about a pot simmering on the stove. I used canned biscuits, but you could make your own dumplings. A friend of mine uses flour tortillas cut into strips, and that version is delisious too. This is a great way to use leftover chicken. The chicken I used was from a leftover deli chicken, so I didn't add any salt to my dish.
