Salsa Verde Chicken & Dumplings – chicken in a creamy salsa verde sauce topped with cornbread dumplings and baked. Great Mexican recipe that is ready in about 20 minutes! Quick recipe for weeknight meals! SO good! I wanted to lick my plate!!
This dish was absolutely delicious. We both took one bite and agreed this was awesome! I wanted to lick my plate. I didn’t; I just used the biscuit/dumplings to sop up every last bit of sauce instead.
This is actually a really quick meal and it is made in one pot. I love one-pot meals! I used half of a rotisserie chicken for the cooked chicken, and this was ready to go in the oven in less than 10 minutes. I used Fonterea Grill Tomatillo Salsa for the salsa verde. It was really good. It didn’t have big chunks in it and wasn’t spicy. I’ve already made this again because we loved it so much. Add this to your menu ASAP!
