Everything’s better with butter, even chicken & dumplings

Chicken and Dumplings [1]

Paula Deen's chicken and dumplings. Click for the recipe on FoodNetwork.com.

I recently interviewed 100-year-old Billie Thomason [2] 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 [1] 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 [3]. 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!
