I've never seen it as a side dish, but it's not all that common around here so about the only time I have it is when I make it.

Man dish. Please send ASAP.

Sorry OP, but this is a fail.   You did not state your position so we can agree with your wife and mock you for being wrong and no pics??

I had the last of the last batch today for lunch.  It’s one of my favorite things my wife makes for me.  Her dumplins are the best.

I make the stock and chicken, she makes the dumplins and puts it all together.

Main dish.  Any proper side dish is green, or orange, or a combination of the two.

If you want a biscuit, add a biscuit.

But chicken dumplings are slicks only.

Awesome answer.

If anyone wants it.

Dumplings
2 lb bag or 6 cups of sifted self rising flour
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 tsp poultry seasoning
1/2 cup butter softened
1/2 cup coconut oil or shortening or lard
1 pkg yeast dissolved in 1/3 c water 110•F with 1 Tbsp of sugar
2 cups buttermilk
Mix together and knead until well mixed
Cover & set in a warm place while chicken cooks to let it rise.  
Divide the dough into 2 manageable hunks.
Flour a board or paper & roll dough out to about 3/8 inch thick and cut into 2” circles or cut into strips.

Bring the stock (four quarts minus the chicken) to a boil.  Add the dumplings and stir well to keep them from sticking.  Boil for 10 minutes covered, 10 minutes uncovered.  Add the chicken and salt/pepper to taste.

We made homemade chicken and dumplings not too long ago. Side was fried green tomatoes.

I loves me some chicken and dumplings.
I could never eat only a side dish worth of it.
Main dish all the way.
Eta: above post shows an appropriate side dish!
FGT's.

Dumplings are a side.  Combine chicken and gravy it's a main.

It’s a main dish. The same weirdos that say tater tot hot dish would call chicken and dumplins a side dish.

Flat and slippery

It's not supposed to be a boiled biscuit.

It is the main dish, just like fried chicken, but has sides

I like fried okra and green beans

I had white gravy on chicken fried chicken, mashed taters and cauliflower.  A drizzle of gravy all around.  Gravy made with half butter and have saved bacon fat.  I am on a diet.

I do like the looks of those dumplings.  I have had the flat noodle kind and the near biscuit dropped in the pot kind.

Main, and really doesn't need any sides.

Maybe some fried okra.

Well see what had happened was  any family gatherings I've been to have always had chicken and dumplings AND another meat like fried chicken pulled pork or something. I always looked at it as optional.

Buffet style meal is the only way I see it becoming a side.
