    Chicken 'n dumplings

    Photo

    Hello! Well, wintertime makes me long for this dish. I remember my mom making it a few times when we were kiddos and it pretty much defines comfort food for me. I know it has the same effect on my children; when I serve it, dinner is a silent affair of devouring, and sleep comes easy for them on a full tummy/gluten-induced coma, so all around a win-win situation for my little fam. Used what I had in the fridge, veggie-wise, so heavy on carrots and fennel, with just a touch of celery and potatoes. Had some homemade stock and chicken breasts, so cut the chicken in large chunks and added it right before I topped it with dumplings, to just cook the chicken through and keep it moist. Topped it off with fresh herbs and orange zest to brighten the flavor. Yum- took this photo ages ago, but making me think I need to make it again...soon. Thanks for reading and much love from kitchengretchen
