Chicken and Dumplings

This is one of those quick, yummy, and filling recipes that I make sometimes if I'm in a pinch for dinner and running low on groceries. It calls for a can of cream of chicken soup. It's worth it to have a can in my pantry for those nights that I look in my fridge and think, "I should have gone grocery shopping... like, last week." This meal is super yummy, takes a snap to whip up, and the best part is- the ingredients are all pantry staples. It's a family pleaser, for sure. Whenever I make it, we inevitably overeat! Thanks to my friend Allison T., who introduced this tasty meal to me!
