"This Southern Chicken and Dumplings recipe is like a warm hug. It’s the ultimate comfort food, made with juicy chicken thighs, veggies, a thick soup base, and biscuit-style dumplings. Southern dumplings use chicken fat to create a texture and flavor you won’t find anywhere else. Make the stew in advance and steam the dumplings in the pot right before you’re ready for dinner. This recipe isn’t your average chicken and dumplings soup recipe that you’d find at your local Cracker Barrel. They use flat dumplings or strips of dough for theirs rather than true Southern homemade dumplings, which are more like drop biscuits. It’s kind of like my Chicken Pot Pie with Biscuits but with more of a soup-like texture. This recipe has a couple of steps solely dedicated to layering the flavor; otherwise, it can be quite bland. The first step is to create a flavorful stew which you do by first browning the chicken. We want the skin on the chicken thighs to become golden brown and crispy, but we’re not completely cooking the chicken. (You’ll save some of the magical chicken fat for the dumplings)"
