I have been craving chicken and dumplings for quite sometime. While flipping through the 2009 Cookinglight book I came across a recipe for chicken and herbed dumplings. Obviously I knew since this was in Cookinglight it was in no way going to resemble my Nannie's (grandma) chicken and dumplings which is what I wanted but I figured hey why not I will give it a try. Overall I would have to say, it was decent. It actually was a pretty solid chicken soup recipe. The dumplings contained parsley which I was not huge on but the texture seemed close to right. But the whole thing together was just not my Nannie's chicken and dumplings. I have decided since I am fortunate and she is still around in one of the next few weekends coming up I am going to see her and learn how to do this correctly and not half way.
After having these Chris and I had a big discussion about Dumplings versus Pastry. His grandma makes chicken and pastry; which I believe is just the same dough rolled out and cut into noodles instead of dropped and more like biscuits in the broth. Since he is used to pastry that is his preference and he thinks I should do that instead- I responded with a good luck with that. If I am making it, I am making dumplings.
