CHICKEN AND SOMETHINGS

October 31, 2017

Chicken and Somethings

 

Chicken and Somethings – a spin on the traditional Chicken & Dumplings

But first let me tell you a funny story.  I love Chicken & Dumplings.  Like love love love it like a mama loves her chil’ren kinda love.  It’s warm, filling & yummy for your tummy kinda food.  

I’ve been making this dish in two forms for forever.  Sometimes I feel like getting fancy so I make it from scratch while other times I get a little lazy and make an easier but just as delicious version of it.  Every time I make it, my hubster always says without fail, this isn’t Chicken & Dumplings. He “claims” it’s more like a pot pie but take a look at my picture above, does that look like a pot pie to you?  

This ain’t no pot pie, no it is not! 

Over the years & every darn time I make this, we always go back & forth about exactly what this dish is.  So last night after Snapchatting, I finally picked what i’m gonna call this dish. This is Chicken & Somethings because it’s something like a pot pie but something like a dumpling too!

Because truly, what exactly is a dumpling?  In my experience & based on my Asian heritage, dumplings are dough filled with meat all folded together to form a cute little scrumptious package.  China has won tons, Gyoza’s in Japan & then there’s Mandoo in Korea. I’ve also grown to love the fried Mexican Dumplings known as Empanadas.  Lord help me my mouth waters as I type this post.  

My Southern Belle girlfriend, Laura, makes a mean Chicken & Dumplings. Her dumplings are like dough pieces submerged in the chicken mixture which isn’t quite like a dumpling at all but rather like a soggy yet delicious piece of dough.  My version is little clouds of “Something’s” that sit nicely on the top of the dish. They come out a nice golden brown, much like myself after I’ve been sitting on a beach somewhere in Mexico.  LOL  

Anyhow…..

Below is my easy peasy version because last night, I was hungry,  tired & had no desire to slave away in the kitchen.  I hope you enjoy it! Let me know if you try it & if you have any ideas, suggestions, additions on how to improve it. I’m always game for some good ol’fashion constructive criticism.  

 

xo,
