I created this recipe for yesterdays dinner from left over Veggie Chicken & Dumplings, where there were very few dumplings & chicken left in the pot after dinner, but plenty of the liquid. So to RECREATE THE RECIPE I ADDED EXTRA CHUNKY PIECES OF WHITE MEAT CHICKEN BREAST, & Peas & carrots along with other seasoning, & it turned out better than my original creation. Dinner was ready in about an hour, as tasty as ever. A perfect way to use & recreate left overs. The recipe for my Veggie Chicken & Dumplings is posted here at Just a Pinch. I am so proud of how this new creation turned out

    I made one to give away, using Pillsbury Crescent Rolls because I was out of Pie Crust, and it turned out FANTASTIC. THIS IS THE ONE I GAVE AWAY, to my house keeper, had planned to save it in the freezer for an easy dinner idea the next time. They LOVED IT.
