BUMPEN CHICKEN & DUMPLINGS

Spicy sauteed pepper, tomatoes, garlic, and parsley. Mixed with potato gnocchi, juicy rotisserie chicken, and smoked mozzarella. Topped with parmesan cheese.

Talk about some kick. You are gonna need some water around for this one. This is one of my spiciest recipes and I can say that it is on my healthy recipe list. I have tried doing the chicken in different ways. I even tried smoking it for a little more smokey flavor. I think rotisserie chicken works best, and it’s super easy just to pick one up at the store.
