POLISH CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS
My kind of comfort food!!! Very tasty and easy! This recipe originally came from www.3fatchicks.com but I believe I tweaked it enough to call it my own!! The original recipe cut out the spices, milk and butter and used low-fat soup; if you are watching your weight-go for it! You do not neccessarily have to cook the chicken in the crock pot, you could just cook it in a skillet. The crock pot was just another 'tweak' so that the chicken would be ready for me to shred when I got home from work.

Tips:

- Don't overcrowd the pot when cooking the chicken. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
- Use a large pot for cooking the soup so that there is plenty of room for the dumplings to cook.
- Bring the soup to a boil before adding the dumplings. This will help to prevent the dumplings from sticking together.
- Cook the dumplings until they are light and fluffy. Overcooked dumplings will be tough and chewy.
- Serve the soup immediately, garnished with fresh herbs or grated Parmesan cheese.
