About Chicken & Dumplings
Chicken and dumplings is one of those suppers that seem to belong to every region at once, found simmering on stovetops from Appalachia to the Gulf Coast, each cook swearing by a slightly different hand for the dough. Some families roll their dumplings thin and flat; others drop them by the spoonful into the bubbling pot, where they puff up soft and pillowy in the steam. Either way, the moment the ladle hits the bowl, something in the room settles, a warmth that has little to do with temperature alone.
