Tips for a good recipe for cheese, mushroom and chicken Dumplings

• You can paint the dumplings with egg if you want them to take a little golden color but it is not necessary and it will not add more flavor
• The ingredients can vary in quantity to your liking, I like to add more mozzarella cheese
• If instead of letting the dough rest for 30 minutes, you leave it longer, it will be better
• You can season the chicken, mushrooms and vegetables with a little garlic powder and black pepper
• I like the vegetables well poached so that the crunchy texture is not noticeable but that depends on the taste of each one
