Chicken and Dumplings Italian Style
During the last view years, I have craved comfort foods like chicken and dumplings.
Of course, since I have to cook everything with a little Italian style flair, these were another one of those delicious experiments
Mom never made anything like this dish growing up, everything we had was Italian period, and that's ok!
In the last few years, my kids are grown now, and with future changes and lifestyles, I am learning to cook all kinds of foods.
We got some great news that I am going to be a grandmother, and the craving just happened to be these chicken and dumplings.
Grandma will not disappoint mama and baby, so here is my first stab at making these.
This is a hearty dish everyone loves here in the South.
Even with my little Italian spin on this dish, it was a classic hit.
I was shocked at how delicious this gravy was and creamy over those soft dumpling, a definitely drool-worthy dish that smelled and tasted fabulous!
Scroll down to the recipe card to print off my version of this classic comfort food.
This is wonderful comfort food!
My future daughter in law requested this dish for her 30th Birthday!
This is my version of Chicken & Dumplings, it has a secret ingredient, well it's not a secret anymore.
I was very surprised to see on my first try to make this dish, how easy it was.
The dumplings puffed up nicely and the stew part was so flavorful!
I also have another secret that won't be after today (besides wishing Jennifer a very Happy Birthday.
She made an announcement to the family that she and my son Curt are expecting their first baby together and the soon to be parents are making me a Grandmother.
Having said that I welcome our new addition to the family in February next year with anxious happiness.
Congratulations to both of you on your new journey of parenting ahead wishing you both a very happy life together and a healthy future for the baby.
The broth is so flavorful, between the vegetables and herbs, I almost want to use this as soup.
It really is one of the most comforting foods I have ever made, of course, I had to do an Italian twist on this Southern favorite!
I add what my family likes for vegetables.
Some suggestions I have are mushrooms, green peppers. onions, corn, peas, green beans, potatoes, carrots, celery all diced in small pieces so they cook faster.
I am sure you can add mixed vegetables or anything else you prefer.
We like a little heat so I like to add cayenne pepper to mine.
I never add onions because I am allergic, however, I add a lot of extra garlic!
I also like to add some grated cheese, herbs, and garlic to my dumpling dough!
Growing up all Italian, I had no clue what this dish was. To my surprise, she loved how I made them.
I was thrilled to make something this new mama was craving and liked!
You can roast the chicken in the oven or saute it on the stove.
For a real money saver, add water to the sauteed chicken and make your own chicken broth instead of buying it!
Saute the chicken in some butter and olive oil until browned on both sides, then add the 6 quarts of water to the pan.
Just season it with salt, pepper, and the vegetables will give it all the rest of its amazing flavors!
This Chicken and Dumplings Italian Style stew is so easy to make!
Biscuits and gravy are a staple in the South. This is bursting with flavors and the dumplings are soft, fluffy and tender.
The gravy and vegetables are almost like eating a pot pie in a bowl!
This is really an easy recipe.

I am not one for complicated recipes.
I do love, however, easy with a great result and this recipe is it! Look no further. Your family will love it as much as mine.
It may not be exactly like the classic old fashioned recipe of Chicken and dumplings but it's the tastiest version you'll ever make.
