I am going to say there is no way to mess up this delicious recipe considering what I did to it! My husband had been asking for chicken and dumplings for a while. I had intended to go to the grocery store to get the items I needed but when I woke up, we were under a severe thunderstorm watch. I decided to improvise. First, I didn't have bacon so I sauteed the onions in 1 tablespoon butter-flavored shortening. I also chopped up celery, garlic and a carrot. If you can imagine this, I didn't have any milk or half and half either! I did have some powered milk on hand and used that along with 2 cans of cream of chicken soup and a can of whole kernel corn. I boiled a whole chicken and used some of the chicken stock from that after straining out the fat. After deboning the chicken, I added poultry seasoning, pepper, parsley and a little cumin as another reader suggested. I didn't feel like making the dumplings so I cut up pieces of a refrigerated can of biscuits I had on hand. This was quick, delicious and made a beautiful presentation with plenty of soup. I will definitely try this recipe the next time as posted. Thank you for a fabulous recipe!
