PRO TIP!

For light & fluffy dumplings, don't over-mix the batter! Then, simmer the dumplings covered for 10 minutes and uncovered for 10 minutes. Works every time!

USING LEFTOVERS

You can also use leftover shredded chicken, rotisserie chicken, or leftover turkey in this recipe! Just add about 4 cups of shredded/chopped meat before simmering.

CAN I USE REFRIGERATED BISCUITS INSTEAD?

I haven't tried it so I can't say for sure! But, if you want a dumpling hack, you can use a baking mix like Bisquick. Or, make the recipe gluten-free!
