I added about 1/3 of a large onion, and some garlic salt(just a pinch.) My sons favorite is chicken and dumplings-he LOVES this recipe! :) Thank you Nancy, for sharing it with us!

I rated this recipe as it was written. First it was pretty bland so I added a small chopped onion, a minced garlic clove, a handfull sliced mushrooms and 1 1/2 T. chicken soup base. Then I made the dumplings and I wondered about the thin consistency but cooked them anyway. They never did cook all the way through. More like dough lumps and the tasted BITTER. I ended up fishing them out and made another batch with 2 c. of bisquick and cooked them as directed on the box, 10 minutes uncovered and another 10 with the lid on. Perfect dumplings although by now the broth had reduced to nothing and I was literally left with chicken and dumplings.

Loved by 4 boys and a Dad!!! Can't believe how good the sauce turned out. So quick too! We could add other veggies next time too. Thanks for a great recipe!

Love this recipe, really easy. Just needs a little extra flavor for my taste. Added an onion to the veggies and some garlic. Also added some salt and rosemary and parsley. Quick and really good. Might try another reviewers idea and use a rotisserie chicken next time...

did not have bisquit mix to make the dumplings but I did have a box of potato dumpling mix so I did a substitute and everyone loved it. Will add more broth next time for a "soupier" consistency

This recipe was super easy to make and really tasty! I did make some modifications...I added on medium diced onion a sprinkling of garlic salt and one heaping tsp. of cornstarch mix into 1/4 c. water.

This was so easy and pretty tasty, especially for a healthier recipe. The family really liked it so I?ll be making it again. Next time I might add some onions and skip the poultry seasoning.
