Chicken n' Dumplings (Cracker Barrel)

I've recently treated myself to some Cracker Barrel, and this time I decided to step outside of the box and try something new. Or maybe what I should really be saying is that I tried something that i'm not usually too fond of eating. I  have had some extremely horrific experiences with chicken n' dumplings, whether it be because of a complete lack of seasoning or the fact that some people just have the simple audacity to fool around with a recipe that has already been perfected and taste tested. Maybe it was because I was in a good mood that day that I reached out and ordered the chicken n/ dumplings, i'm still not quite sure as to the reasons myself yet. Nonetheless i'm glad that I did take that leap of faith. I'm usually very pleased with my food when i come to Cracker Barrel, and this time thankfully was no different. The dumplings were very soft and carefully salted to perfection so as to not overpower the house seasoned chicken. The chicken breast to dumpling ratio was proportioned correctly, juicy, and most importantly, they were bite sized! The meal comes with your choice of any two of their delicious sides. I personally recommend their fried apple slices (double portions please!!!). Tie it all together with a 16 oz. bottle of  root beer ( none refillable), and you've got yourself all the makings of a good meal.
