This dish is the definition of comfort food. Tender chicken, hearty vegetables, and soft, fluffy dumplings all simmered in a rich broth — it’s the kind of meal that warms your heart as much as your stomach. Many of us remember our grandma serving this on chilly evenings, filling the whole house with that irresistible smell.
