chicken and dumplings

Poultry with doughballs

Chicken and dumplings is a hearty American comfort food consisting of chicken pieces simmered in broth with soft dough dumplings cooked on top.

The dumplings may be fluffy and biscuit-like or flat and noodle-like depending on regional tradition.

It's homestyle cooking associated with the South and Midwest: Grandma's chicken and dumplings could cure anything.
