that goes for you too Marge!
Great recipe! Because I have to eat low sodium, I made biscuit with my low sodium baking mix. Turned out great! So glad you shared the recipe!

I agree with Marge, the recipe’s called "QUICK CHICKEN AND BISCUITS". Don't get hung up on what the email tease called it! It sounds quick, easy, yummy and very customizable to anyone's taste. I can't wait to try it!
Looks good, I usually make my own dumplings but this is a better idea. One of my puicky eaters doesnt like the biscuits having "gravy" on it. Easier to section off a part without dumplings on it if using premade biscuits. Oh, and I've never been to a cracker barrel and proud of that fact.
Don't know about using biscuit dough for dumplings, but my family does love fluffy dumplings. I make them using Bisquik which works great!
Obviously poster has never been to Cracker Barrel but I’ve made a similar recipe in my crock pot for decades with fresh chicken and no green pepper. The version I use is for canned biscuits you cut in quarters and add the last 20 minutes. They help thicken the sauce. I’m sticking with that one or using the other one I have for flat dumplings
This recipe is not even close to cracker barrel's recipe, they're dumplings are made and rolled out and squared and their broth is delicious with no mushroom stems no bell peppers and has a thickening agent which is not cream of chicken soup either. I have a recipe that is very similar to it and everybody loves it but I guess you decided to add the stems of the mushrooms and the peppers but that just doesn't do it for chicken and dumplings
This recipe is a pot of ingredients the writer likes. It's not even close to being a true chicken and dumplings recipe. Boil or pressure cook a whole chicken and start from there for the best flavor your C n D recipe can provide.
To all the ones criticizing this recipe......have you read the title???? It’s QUICK CHICKEN AND BISCUITS. If you prefer to make your biscuits from scratch, go for it. Don’t knock a short cut recipe, better yet, don’t comment.
