If this works then we would let the dumplings defrost and reheat them on top of the chicken.
Has anyone done anything like this??
Our experience: Already cooked dumplings degrade quickly if frozen then reheated. Best to make extra, leave raw and freeze for adding to broth later.
We use Mrs Bs Frozen Southern Biscuits from Walmart.
Bring broth to a low boil.
Pop in biscuits (still frozen) and bring back to a low boil.
Cover and don't peek for 20 minutes.
Serve it up.
You can use your own dumpling recipe and freeze it raw and cook as above.
