    Let food rest for 10 minutes after you take it off stove so you can actually eat it!! LOL!!The sauce will thicken up a bit as it cools….you want that.

    I always cut ALL proteins on a cutting board that can go in the dishwasher. Otherwise juice from the protein, especially chicken, will very in the groove made by the knife cuts.
    I'm from Texas & love chicken & dumplings. I use a lot of baby carrots.
    Actually chefs do measure out & prepare their ingredients before they begin, its called mise en place which means something to the effect of "everything in place" so it's great that you do that.
    It's good your C&D came to a boil not just a simmer. Anytime you use roux or corn starch, it doesn't fully thicken until it comes to a boil. I've never put peas in mine, but I think I will next time. You may know all this cuz in watching you, I'm betting you know a lot more about cooking than you let on, but you're fun to watch. 😉

    Every time I see someone or if I eat something to hot I think of the sitcom Reba. Where the son-in-law Van takes a bite of hot food and does the mouth hot food dance. you have to look up the scene online and watch it. It is so funny.

    Dude…..a quart of chicken broth is 4 cups…..why use the measuring cup for that? It works better if you use a wooden spatula for scraping the bottom of that enamel pan. That fork doesn't get the fond off the bottom and it burns and the fork will eventually scratch that beautiful pan. "Carry on "

    Raw chicken juices absorb into the porous wooden boards……
