What's the Best Chicken for Chicken and Dumplings?
Any kind of chicken works well. It really all boils down to personal preference. You can leave the chicken in chunks, or you can use shredded chicken.   You can boil and shred a whole chicken, use chicken breasts, or even use leftover rotisserie chicken if you need a short-cut. If you enjoy dark meat, you can use chicken thighs also.
