Chicken and Dumplings & Cream of Chicken Substitute

    Have you seen the chicken and dumplings recipes making the rounds on Pinterest? I have quite the soft spot for chicken and dumplings, it's one of my favorite Mimi dishes. It seems as though many of these popular recipes use refrigerated biscuit dough in place of homemade dough. Weird, right?

    This week, I took a plunge and tried out one of the recipes. The end result can't exactly be labeled as a success or a failure. Cream of chicken soup is supposed to be used, so I made a substitute.  The substitute turned out well. What didn't turn out well were the 'dumplings'.  They added a sweetness to the dish that I didn't care for, and Alec couldn't get past the texture. In a nutshell, they tasted like boiled biscuit dough. Gross, right? 

At least the cream of chicken substitute was a success! Here's the recipe: http://www.mamasemptynest.com/?p=2229
