Slippery Dumplings

Slippery dumplings is a traditional dish originating from Delaware. The dish consists of baked chicken that's served with slippery dumplings on the side. The dumpling dough is rolled, cut into squares, then cooked in chicken broth, and as a result it makes the dumplings slippery. During cooking, a rich and soupy chicken gravy develops in the pot. This dish is a staple of fundraising dinners and church suppers in Delaware, and many restaurants offer it on their menus. Chicken and slippery dumplings are also often served with succotash or green beans on the side.
