Is chicken and dumplings a main dish or a side dish? Having a debate with the wife. No pics.

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.

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??

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

Main.
Just finished a plate, with a bowl of Dixie Lee peas as a side. |
|
Now I'm wondering what main dish would the OP serve with a side of Chicken and Dumplings?

Quoted: Quoted: Now I'm wondering what main dish would the OP serve with a side of Chicken and Dumplings? Crow? 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. |

It is the main dish, just like fried chicken, but has sides
I like fried okra and green beans |

Quoted: OP probably puts white gravy on “country fried steak” View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes 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. |

Quoted: 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.
