What is a “flat” dumpling?
For those of you who didn’t grow up eating this style of Chicken and Dumplings – then you may have eaten it at a place like Cracker Barrel. A lot of us grew up eating Chicken & Drop Dumplings. Flat dumplings are very basic and are meant to soak up the flavors of the broth. It’s an easy, comforting homestyle meal.
Can I add vegetables to chicken and dumplings?
You certainly could. This particular version of chicken and dumplings usually does not have any vegetables added but you certainly could throw in some peas and carrots if you prefer.

How To Make Chicken and Dumplings:
I boiled my chicken in water and chicken bouillon.
I added: Cream of chicken soup
A dash of poultry seasoning
Dashes of garlic powder
Minced celery
Salt/pepper.
I added a can of carrots. Lots of times I add a can of cream of celery soup as well .
After it simmered for a while, I cut up biscuits and popped them in.
Only let them cook until done. They will cook away if you cook too long.
Enjoy.
