Chicken and/or Turkey and Dumplings

 

So today is my 50th post and my three-month Anniversary. I am so surprised how much love kindness and support all of my followers have given me. We have followers from the United States to Canada, in addition to we have followers and readers in Germany, South Korea, The Netherlands, India, United Kingdom, Poland, Russia, and a couple of other Countries. It just amazes me.

In honor of our 50th post I am going to make a fabulous dinner for you and it is so easy and delicious you to will want to make for your family and friends with your extra Turkey or chicken you have left over from the holidays. I love to make dinners and meals from previous meals, but I call them 1st Overs.

 

So as a lot of you know I had a giveaway last week with Aunt Nellie’s and one winner will be awarded with a box of goodness at the winner is Shulie from food wanderings Shulie has a fabulous cooking blog; so please go check it out! Thank you to everyone who entered. I contacted Shulie, on Sunday to let her know she won and she has decided to send it to her local homeless shelter, The DC Central Kitchen. What a wonderful Act of kindness this time of year!

 

Now to the recipe as you know I cook back to basics meals that are simple and easy. So this is a recipe that you will love me for especially after Thanksgiving and Christmas. Chicken and/or Turkey and Dumplings to me is one of the ultimate comfort foods. This is an easy recipe to use your Turkey or Chicken Leftovers from the holidays plus it makes one other meal when you are done, if you do not finish this all off. The Chicken and/or Turkey and Dumplings  you can make an easy and fast turkey pot pie the next day, which I will post on Wednesday.
