Chicken & Dumplings Anyone?

In desperation last month (a load of company showed up unannounced).....I made what I call a "dump" menu.....whatever I could pull together, I dumped in the pot.  It happened to be 8 chicken breasts, 5 cups chicken broth, chopped onions & garlic, sea salt/pepper. Bring that to a boil then let simmer for a couple of hours (makes the chicken super tender & falling apart) before adding a large can of Cream of Chicken  or Mushroom soup to thicken everything.
 
You might be wondering what the company was doing while I was slaving away in the kitchen.......playing cards, Taboo, on the Internet....etc., etc., etc.!!!!!  These were not my little princesses and their mommies & poppies......I would have loved that visit........

After about 20 minutes, I added strips of one of my favorites.......Pillsbury Pie Crust........simmer for another 30 minutes and serve with hush-puppies or cornbread and a great big green salad.  For dessert.....peach cobbler......... Yum!!!!!

I have to tell you, their mouths were salivating by the time we ate.

    I have also heard of cutting strips of flour tortilla to use as dumplings. I don't like chicken, so I haven't tried it. (yes I know, how "not southern" of me to not like chicken)
