It reheats really well, if you make smaller dumplings it may not so I recommend keeping them bigger, I did cook mine a bit longer too.

Step 3. Meanwhile to make dumplings, sift 2 tablespoons flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt together into a bowl. Stir in parsley. With a fork, stir in milk until dough just comes together. Drop dumpling mixture with a teaspoon into chicken mixture.
