I have been making chicken and dumplings for years, and until my husband ate mine he swore he hated chicken and dumplings, but now loves them. Today I decided I wanted to try it someone elses way. While I think they are great, I know my hubby will not eat them. The dumplings are way too doughy. I always make a regular biscuit dough, roll out pretty thin (maybe 1/4 inch thick), and cut my dumplings into squares. That way does not leave you with a raw dough taste. Also I use canned broth with poultry seasoning, white pepper, and onion powder. I always cook my chicken, then take it out, do the dumplings THEN add the chicken back to the pot. While I think this is a good recipe, I don't like the baking mix part of it.

This is a wonderful recipe. The only thing I did different instead of water I used chicken broth. This was the best chicken and dumplings I have ever had. My daughter loved it and she is a very picky eater. Thanks for sharing!

Definetly use broth instead of water and bullion. I used dark meat (personal preference). With the broth 5 stars, without only 4 stars.

Great recipe for quick Chicken and Dumplings, only thing is the dumplings would've been better rolled out and cut into squares instead of clumps. Other than that we loved it!

As everyone else mentioned - I used broth instead of water. Much better flavor. I added in some cut onion, celery, peas and carrots. Great easy recipe.

This was really good, and my family loved it. I've tried to make dumplings before, but they've never turned out. This time, perfection! Like many others here, I also used chicken broth instead of water. I added frozen mixed vegetables and simmered them for a couple of minuteds, added cut-up leftover roasted chicken, sage and marjoram, but otherwise follwed the directions here for the thickening and the dumplings. There was plenty left over so we had it again the next night and it was still delicious! Thanks!

This was great! I have been looking for a recipe like my mom's southern chicken and dumplings, and this is it! I used 3 chicken breasts with ribs instead of breasts, and boiled them with an onion wedge, rib of celery, 2 cups chopped carrots, and 1 tsp. salt for 30 minutes, then removed the onion and celery. Because the chicken is already cooked, I skipped step 2. I next added 4 more cups water because it seemed like too much chicken for the amount of broth (would do that again!). For the thickening, I used 1/3 cup flour and 1/2 cup milk (milk instead of water - makes it more creamy). I also added 1/2 tsp. poultry seasoning and 1/4 tsp. pepper, as others suggested. Great comfort food! Thanks for the recipe!

I was sick last month and all I wanted was my mother's chicken and dumplings, but didn't have the recipe. My husband found this one and it was even easy enough for him to make. We also used broth instead of water, we also used milk instead with the thickening. We added celery for a little more flair too. But the dumplings them selves are great, you must try it.

I browned the chicken (after I seasoned it with salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder) and then added it to 6 cups chicken broth (did not use any water). I also sauteed a small onion and put that in (along with a can of cream of chicken soup) when I added the chicken back. It took a LOT longer than the recipe says for the dumplings to cook all the way through and I had to watch it and stir often because the chicken started to stick once I added the dumplings. Overall, very good. My husband is not a fan of boiled chicken dishes, but he loved this. Will definitely make again.

This is a good and easy recipe. I add one can cream of chicken soup with the flour and water (before adding dumplings). Season generously. It is better the next day.

I could not find my original recipe and this one saved me. It was wonderful, especially on this cold and rainy night. Of course I added more butter. Thanks I will use this one from now on.
