Chicken Fricassee With Dumplings

"I serve this with rice as I don't eat the dumplings, hubby gets those. I also double the vegies, milk, soup, thyme and bay leaf as I like lots of gravy. Very nice hot meal for a cold rainy night."

  1. 4 stars! A good recipe, however in search of a recipe better than the one I grew up on. This was not it. However this recipe will not dissapoint. Good ol' fashion comfort food. Great served with some southern sweet tea.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live in a small rural town in central California. I am lucky enough to live and work in my community. I am the site coordinator for an after school program where we enroll over 100 students. My motto is there are no bad kids only bad parents. I have one daughter that is now in her second year of college and a husband that is the worse critic when it comes to food. He either likes it or doesn't no in between. I have been at the zaar for over a year now and continue to go back and forth on buying a membership, right now I'm going for buying. Trying to convince myself that it is only $2.00 a month and I could clean up that nonmember cookbook and get it organized so I might be able to find something :)I'm kinda a pack rat when it comes to food, I always have back ups and sometimes back ups for the back ups. My husband always tells everyone if there is a national disaster come to our house shirley will be able to feed an army. So yall are welcome too :)Edited to add i joined 12-31-06 my Christmas prsent to myself!
