Dayton Dumplings and Chicken Darlin'
Tennessee, what is it famous for? Football and moonshine! What about when it comes to food? Blogger Jan has decided that chicken and dumpling recipes are the "signature" Tennessee food; who can argue with that? These Dayton Dumplings and Chicken Darlin' are comfort food at its best; plus it's been tweaked to be healthier, but you'd never know it by the taste!
Notes
Recipe author's spin: This is almost like a chicken pot pie without having the entire crust, so I'm thinking it would be good with perhaps some carrots in it, or maybe some mushrooms. Also, you can bake this uncovered the entire 40 minutes. Serve this in a bowl and use a spoon.....you really don't want to waste a bit!
