This American dish is prepared in 5 minutes. It has a special texture. It is creamy, thick and soft at the same time. The soup is very flavourful thanks to the special seasoning used. To balance this soup, we used some veggies with chicken. The vegetables that we used are peas and carrots. Feel free to use any vegetable that you want.

These chicken and dumplings are prepared in 5 minutes only. They are cooked on a stove for an entire 25 minutes. They are served warm. Although I believe that this dish is a full main dish, some people prefer to have a side dish with it; like cornbread or breadstick. You can also have this dish with a side of Brussel sprouts or green beans.
