I'm not a big fan of apple cider, but I decided to try this recipe anyway. I was pleasantly surprised! The apple cider flavor was subtle and not overpowering. The chicken and dumplings were delicious.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some grilled chicken from a previous meal and it worked perfectly in this dish. The dumplings were light and fluffy, and the apple cider gravy was delicious.

I'm not a fan of dumplings, but I loved the chicken and apple cider gravy. I served it over rice instead of dumplings and it was still delicious.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some roasted chicken from a previous meal and it worked perfectly in this dish. The dumplings were light and fluffy, and the apple cider gravy was delicious.

The chicken and dumplings were cooked perfectly, but I found the apple cider gravy to be a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less apple cider or adding some tart Granny Smith apples to the recipe.
