I was born in Arkansas, and this recipe is one I grew up on. Well, actually, there never really was a recipe we just threw it together till it tasted good! Chicken and Dumplings is so easy and filling. . . you can fix it for anyone anytime. Sometimes, if my husband and I are going off fishing all day (my favorite hobby is fishing and more fishing!). I'll prepare the chicken the day before. Then, when we get home, I'll reheat it, mix up my dumplings, plop them on top and have supper ready to serve within 20 minutes.
