Another quick, easy leftovers meal to use up ingredients already prepared. Chicken and dumplings can be made partially ahead of time, using either prebaked chicken, canned chicken, or frozen chicken chunks. Avoid using chicken pieces with barbecue sauce on them. Gluten free dumplings tend to be drop dumplings, as most mixes do not have the proper consistency to roll out and be cut into shapes. Sometimes, dumplings fall apart, creating a thick chicken dumpling soup. Although it is possible to make this dish on the stove top, it requires constant stirring to avoid burning. Oven baked is easier and cleaner.
