Paula Deen's chicken and dumplings. Click for the recipe on FoodNetwork.com.
I recently interviewed 100-year-old Billie Thomason about her holiday memories, and she mentioned her favorite food at Christmas was always Chicken and Dumplings. That inspired a search for a recipe so we could try the treat.
We landed on a basic recipe by Paula Deen from the Food Network. It’s been delicious the few times we’ve made it recently.
Shortly after making the most recent batch, we learned that Ms. Deen has type 2 diabetes. Surprisingly, this recipe doesn’t call for butter. So in the spirit of Paula Deen, we improvised and adopted a different dumpling recipe – with butter!
