TIM MCGRAW'S CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS!
He likes it, he loves it, he wants some more of it! What am I talking about? Why, Tim McGraw's favorite dish, Chicken and Dumplings! To make this recipe super easy: If you have leftover chicken(or turkey), just start at step 4 and use chicken broth(2-2 1/2 quarts). I just added broth until the sauce looked the consistency of a nice gravy, then when reducing the sauce, ended up adding a little more.

Steps:
- In a large, heavy soup pot, place chicken, quartered onion, celery, garlic, parsley, thyme, sage, bay leaf,cloves, salt, peppercorns and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat, cover and simmer until chicken falls from the bones, about 1 hour.
- Remove chicken to cool and drain. Strain the broth, pressing firmly on solids to extract the liquid. Let broth settle then skim off the excess fat. Reserve broth.
- Meanwhile, when chicken is cool enough to handle, tear the meat into bite-sized pieces and set aside; discard the skin and bones.
- Melt butter in a large pot and whisk in 2 tablespoons flour until smooth. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly for 3 minutes. Whisk reserved broth into butter and flour mixture and continue whisking vigorously until sauce comes to a boil and no lumps are left. Add chopped onion, diced carrots and celery and reserved chicken. Whisk in bouillon cubes and allow sauce to reduce by half.
- In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with 1/4 cup cold water. Whisk the slurry into the sauce and return to a boil to thicken. Taste and adjust seasoning.
- To make the dumplings: In a large bowl, quickly mix dumpling ingredients until just combined to make a loose dough. Thin with water if needed. Don't overmix. With a 1/4-cup measure, drop scant quarter-cupfuls of batter into the simmering liquid. Cover and cook (don't peek!) for about 15 to 20 minutes or until fluffy and cooked through.
- Stir in peas and chopped fresh herbs. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
