And it paid off!!!
Here's the story... when Evan and I first started dating, I was obsessed with food and he was extremely picky. Like the pickiest person that I had EVER met in my life. I was always wanting to cook for him and try something new but I was always afraid that he wouldn't like it. But he was a great sport! He would always say that your taste buds are supposed to change as you get older so he was willing to try anything. Apparently that's true, because over the years he has gone from SUPER picky to an adventurous foodie! However, there was one thing that I cooked when we first started dating that he just HATED. Like wouldn't eat. I think we ended up going out to eat... and I haven't made it since. What is this dish that Evan couldn't even pretend to like?
Chicken and Dumplings
So... after 3+ years of avoiding chicken and dumplings at all cost... he suggested that we try it again. Last night, I made chicken and dumplings (the EXACT same way that I made them 3 or so years ago) and he LOVED them!! I was shocked... I was so nervous while I was making them. I just kept thinking that this was so pointless because we were going to end up going out to eat anyway but we didn't! I was SO excited!
So here's a super easy recipe that I will finally be able to add back into my repertoire:
Chicken and Dumplings
Ingredients
48 oz chicken broth or stock
2 cans cream of chicken soup
2-4 cups of chopped, cooked chicken
4 cans biscuits (the most basic biscuit you can find)
salt and pepper or greek seasoning to taste
Directions:
whisk together the chicken broth and cream of chicken soup and bring to a boil. Add the cooked chicken (I like to use about 2 cups of chicken because I like there to be more dumplings than chicken but it is entirely up to you!). Then pinch the raw biscuit dough into bite size pieces and drop into the boiling soup mixture. ***Serve the chicken and dumplings as soon as you drop in your last piece of biscuit because if you simmer this dish for too long, the dumplings will disintegrate!

I served them with green beans and fried corn. It was a very comforting meal!
Here's a picture:
I still can't believe that Evan enjoyed Chicken and Dumplings last night...
Is there a food that you hated but now love??

I don't know you, but found your blog a while back and have enjoyed your recipes especially your chicken squares. Just curious about the fried corn? I LOVE fried corn on the cob and my son is a HUGE corn lover, but I have never had fried corn like in the picture. Would you mind sharing?
Thanks!
