This was so incredibly good! My whole family raved about this. We'll definitely be making it again and again. I was surprised at how simple the recipe was to taste sooooo good! I let mine simmer extra long to be sure the dumplings were really done, so it cooked down to a nice chicken stew consistency. I only used 20 oz. of chicken breast, so between less chicken and simmering down quite a bit, I ran short on servings of the actual stew to go with all those dumplings. But other than that, it was perfect! Delicious!

Very tasty, and so easy! I didn't have carrots, so I thawed some frozen mixed vegetables and added them in with the broth. I also used leftover turkey. I didn't use anything reduced sodium or reduced fat, so it was definitely salty enough.

Very easy to make....hardest part was chopping the veggies! Very tasty, my husband loved it, too!

Very good and SO easy! It did need some salt I thought- I added about 1/2 teaspoon or so. I made a few alternations as well. Instead of canned chicken broth- my Mom makes and freezes it. I put in about 4 cups of broth. I also added one less cup of chicken. Instead of using 1 2/3 cups biscuit mix, I used 2 cups using my Mom's homemade biscuit recipe. This is what I used:

2 cups flour, 1 T. baking powder, 1/2 t. salt, 2 T. lard. Mix all ingredients together then add your milk, you may need to add about a tablespoon or so more mix. So easy and quick. It tastes a lot like stuffing..........

This was delicious and so simple to make. I bought a rotisserie chicken from the deli which gave the recipe some extra flavor. Will definitely be making this again.
