Chicken and Dumplings

My favorite thing to eat growing up was my mom's chicken and dumplings. I still love it as an adult but have never made it for us. Last week was so cold and rainy I decided to give it a go. Let me tell you..it's EASY!! AND so good!
Here is the recipe in case you are craving some comfort food.
Boil a whole chicken, a few carrots, and an onion in a large pot of water.
When is the chicken done? My mom says when the meat falls off the bone (about an hour).
Once the chicken is done- take out and set aside.
Add 4 cans of pillsbury (blue can, cheap) biscuits torn into small pieces.
De-bone chicken and add to pot.
Add salt and pepper to taste- cook about 30 minutes more.

This makes plenty for two meals plus a container in the freezer- let me know if you try it!
