First time my chicken and dumplings have came out!!! I used a rotisserie chicken and added the skins to add more flavor, added onion with the celery and carrots,and I also added garlic, because we like garlic and it was wonderful!!1 Everyone said they would like to have it again! Thanks!!!

This recipe is great and so easy. I ahve neer made chicken and dumplings before, and my husband was a little skepticle. Everyone was plesantly supprised and satisfied after dinner was done.

It tasted good but needs some alterations. For starters it wasn't very soupy and could use either some water or another can of chicken broth. Good starter recipe that could be great with some improvements.

This is very good and easy to make in a hurry. I cook a whole chicken in my crock pot and debone and soup is ready to go in just a short time.

I've tried several times over the years to find a chicken and dumpling recipe like my mother used to make and was always disappointed with the results until I found this recipe. I don't always put vegetables in it but it is delicious either way. Anytime I cook a chicken in the crockpot I always put a single serving of shredded chicken with some broth in the freezer and make a small batch for my lunch when I'm home by myself.

Yes I would make this again, but I would for sure use the sodium reduced everything, I didn't use sodium reduced broth and it turned out a little salty. But will keep this on my remake list. I made my own dumplings from scratch and every one liked them. I also put in peas, garlic,onion, a bay leaf, and I substituted 2 of the cans of broth to Cream of chicken soup. I will definately make this again.

My hubby loved this! I chopped a small onion to saute with the celery and carrots. I also used olive oil instead of coating my dutch oven with cooking spray. Delicious!

I made this recipe last night, using everyone's review suggestions: Adding poultry seasoning, a little salt, etc. I also used a pre-cooked rotisserie chicken from the store to speed the process up. It was absolutely delicious! The only thing, next time I will make the biscuits and not cheat by using a Homestyle refrigerated brand. It's just not the same as homemade. Kids LOVED the meal, too. Big plus!

I cut the recipe in half and it was very good. The only thing I did different was to add some chopped onion to the vegetables and then cook them for 5 minutes in a little bit of canola oil. I was regretting that I didn't have any cream of chicken soup to thicken the broth but I found it was not needed. The broth was a perfect consistency after the dumplings were cooked.

I have never made this recipe exactly how it says, but I use it as a guide. I don't add carrots; I use celery and onions. The biggest change I make is using homestyle canned biscuits. I cut each biscuit into thirds and toss in flour, which helps to thicken the soup. My husband's favorite!!!

Very easy and the whole family loved it. Next time I will try adding some cream of chicken soup to thicken it a little.

I have made this recipe several times, and always with rave reviews! It's so easy, and soo good! It's a wonderful comfort food in cold weather.

Made this the other night and everyone loved it. The perfect comfort food. I read everyones reviews and suggestion it really made a difference. I used some cream of chicken soup which helped with thickness. I also used some onion and also peas. Also, let the dumplings cook extra long. They turned out great. There was so much leftover, I just reheated the next night and made more dumplings. I can't wait to make it for my college daughter to send back with her.

The whole family just loved this! The left overs were even better after sitting in the fridge all night. It really thickened up. This is a really quick and easy meal!

It was really good. The only thing I would change is probably add onions and a little salt with it. But I will definitely make it again.

Everyone at work was sick, so before I caught the cold I wanted to make some hearty chicken soup. I added tons more broth and spices to give the soup an extra kick. I also added egg noodles which turned out great. The dumplings did not come out as planned, but still tasted great, just did not look that appetizing!

I like a lot of veggies in mine, so I added a handful more carrots, one small onion, and a cup of frozen peas. (I stirred in the peas before adding the dumplings, as the other readers did). Since I'm a spice girl, too, I used a rounded 1/2 tsp of the poultry seasoning, and added 1/2 tsp salt, plus a pinch more pepper. Delicious!

Very good. I also added some chopped onions and when I added the dumplings I also threw some frozen peas in. I also added 2 red potatoes and loved that. My 2 1/2 year gobbled up an entire bowl and then ate some of my husband's dinner later!

The dumplings took a little longer than the recipe said, they were very pasty looking, but tasted very good. I subbed corn for carrots ( I didn't have any carrots!) and it turned out really good. Even my picky six year old really like this, I would make it again for sure.

I used 2 cans of cream of chicken soup plus a large can of broth. I also cut up a couple of small red potatoes (sometimes I used diced hash browns) plus chopped onions. My final addition is once I add the dumplings, I gently stir in a handful of frozen peas. My family requests this recipe often during the winter months.

Made this for my family. They loved it. Had enough left over the next night to serve over biscuits. Would be great served over cooked noodles, too.

I used regular Bisquick and they turnout out perfect. Maybe skip the poultry seasoning, but mine didn't seem to stick to the dumplings. They were even better as leftovers!!

i use a stock pot instead of a dutch oven and I follow the recipe on the baking mix box for the dumplings. The dumplings have always come out puffy and light! This is a favorite!

My dumplings did not rise and they were heavy. As well the poultry seasoning collected on the dumplings, therefore they had a very strong flavour. I used regular Bisquick, as the light counterpart is not available here. Any thoughts?

What if you don't own a dutch oven? Can you use a crockpot instead?

This is one of my favorite recipes! I make it all the time in the fall/winter. It tastes like it took hours to make, but is very quick. Since I live alone, I usually make half the recipe - which gives me yummy leftovers for lunch the following day.
