Chicken and dumplings….such great memories of this classic dish. And now it’s here in all of it’s gluten-free, made from scratch glory!
Comfort foods are always great to have…especially when they fall in line with whole food eating. This recipe is the perfect way to use leftover roasted chicken. One thing that is nice about this meal is that it is completely done on top of the stove. That’s perfect for those warmer months when you don’t want to turn on your stove.
The dumplings are made using gluten-free flour and the whole dish is so totally yummy that I actually went back for more, which I don’t normally do!
