I was merely quoting the recipe as printed in the book. It *is* from the
American Heart Association cookbook, after all. I'm not overly fond of
boneless skinless chicken breast halves myself. But hey, it was taken from
the American Heart Association cookbook so they're trying to stay as lean as
possible.

When I make chicken stew I use chicken leg quarters. I like a little more
texture than regular flour dumplings, which is why the addition of cornmeal
got my attention. I did fairly well cobbling some together last year but
it's nice to find a published recipe. I've tried it, it was very tasty.
