Chicken and Dumplings

This is one of my favorite recipes. It is flavorful and always comforting. I think it makes a big difference when I use kosher or free range poultry. The only change I make to the recipe is the inclusion of fresh herbs when I have them-rosemary, thyme and parsley. Parsley is called for in the dumplings as well. It is important to remember not to bring to a boil when tempering the liaison, which curdles easily. Enjoy...we do.
