CHICKEN & DUMPLINGS

[Duchess]

How hard can it be, right?

I think I understand how it's done - boil the chicken. I intend to use breasts because the whole bird has veins and other yuck and I don't want to chance any of it getting in my juice. Shred cooked chicken and return to pot along with cans of broth, bring to boil & say, "please will you make the biscuits/dumplings, I did everything else".

Damnit. I have to make it thick too, don't I? I'd rather go outside and dig a ditch. Why does this shit have to be so hard. I'm trying like hell to get in the mood and it isn't happening.

I guess I have to look at recipes. Oh happy day.
