My Mom enjoyed making this for her family. I remember my Grandma making this dish and having it prepared on visits to her house on the weekends, usually Saturdays. Her favorite side dish was frozen corn. Had forgotten about the corn until I started writing this post. Amazing what brings back memories.<\/p>\n<p>Chicken and Homemade Dumplings &#8211; Mom&#8217;s Specialty was definitely one of her specialties. This recipe is as close to her version as I can get. I&#8217;ve made this recipe over and over trying to duplicate hers. My husband loves it and that&#8217;s good, being he is my resident taste tester. Mom&#8217;s dumplings were so tender and creamy in texture. I remember her rolling out the dough, cutting the dumplings in strips and adding them one by one to the gravy so dumplings would not stick together. Mom used chicken pieces, not deboning the meat. Mom made sure there was plenty of gravy with carrots, celery and onion. Mom I think you would approve. You need to try this recipe for a comfort food fix on a wintry night. A cure for what ails ya! Enjoy!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_795\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-795\" style=\"width: 595px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a
