I Found this recipe from Allrecipes.com. It is quick and easy. Hubby says it is a keeper The Original recipe only calls for 1 tsp of cajun seasoning but I changed that to 2 1/2 based on how spicy I wanted it. I used the no salt tonychachere’s cajun seasoning and for my hot sauce Louisiana Hot Sauce. I also added peppers and onions to it as well which the original recipe does not call for.

Note: We like lots of chicken in our dumplings and this recipe makes a lot of dumplings. You can cut the amount of chicken to your taste. We usually have leftovers for a week from a batch.
