baked chicken and dumplins
I wanted chicken and dumplins for supper, but I didn't want to go through the hassle of making the dough for the dumplings, and I also wanted to be able to put it in the oven. So, I came up with this, and it came out pretty good, I think. Please try it and let me know what you think. Baking time may vary depending on the type of baking dish used. I use a Pampered Chef stoneware baking dish to bake this recipe. Stoneware retains heat and bakes dishes faster than glass, metal, or ceramic. Visit www.southerngalscook.com for more recipes.
