Comfort food like chicken and dumplings is one of my all time fall favorites. Unfortunately, my husband doesn’t like the combination of the foods so he’s missing out. Fall is a great time of the year to make this recipe as its warm, and just comforting.

Chili, Instant Pot Lasagna and Chicken Teriyaki are great meals for the fall season!

School is starting back up so that means that we need quick and comforting dinner recipes for everyone in the family. When when we all get home from work and school we are rushing around to eat dinner and get ready for the week ahead. I worked hard this year to declutter and a goal of mine is to go to bed with the sink EMPTY. I also aim to have everything prepped for the next day.

How to Reheat Chicken and Dumplings

I like to put them in a pot over medium high heat and stir for approximately 10-12 minutes or until heated through. Strapped for time? These chicken and dumpling are great heated in the microwave too!

Can you freeze Chicken and Dumplings?

If you have leftovers and would like to save it for a later date, these chicken and dumplings will keep in the fridge for up to 4 days.
