Homemade Chicken and dumplings is my favorite southern dish. I am from Kentucky and I was a very finicky eater as a child. On holidays such as Thanksgiving and Christmas when family would get together over the traditional meal, I would turn up my nose at all the traditional fare like turkey and stuffing and (gasp) green beans. My great-grandmother would indulge me by making a huge pot of chicken and dumplings. Me, spoiled? Naaaa. Although I did have my own little table and chair and my own big plateful of chicken and dumplings. That was heaven on earth.
