Just a note: We've been amking homemade dumplings that we don't roll for many years. I think anyone who said the dumplings were rubbery may have tried too hard to follow the recipe to the "T" as one person said. The mixture of flour and eggs for the dumplings is better done by feel, you can look at it and feel it usually and know when its right...also, we add a little milk to ours. We also make ours creamier by adding cream of mushroom and cream of chicken. Anyway, I love my momma's chicken and dumplings and every once in a while me or my mom or my dad even when making them, don't get them quite right...but like i said, you can usually notice it in the batter before adding it to the pot...Hope this helps and Good Luck!

The recipe almost got it right, but the recipe I use for dumplings is 2C flour, 1 egg, 2 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp Crisco, pinch of salt, and water to moisten to a stiff dough forms (pie crust stiff). You'll have to boil until desired softness, but these taste MUCH better.

I am still searching for a Chicken and Dumplings recipe. This one turned out edible, but very watery. What went wrong? I'm really not sure.

This is exactly the whole chicken recipe I was looking for. The dumplings were ok, but not awesome which is why I only gave it 4 stars. That could have been user error, but I pretty much followed the recipe to a T.

LOL! These are the best! This is a Southern recipe adapted from German immigrants. They should be more like thick, home made egg noodles than those awful 'wet biscuits' they call 'dumplings' up north. They should tender, so if you got rubber, they were too big/thick, overworked, overcooked or some of all of that. [If you had a 'wet bucuit'{gag!} on your mind, you can see how that could happen.}

Yuck!!!!! I wished I had read all the reviews. Luck my seven yr old will eat any chicken and dumplings. They taste like wet quiche. I usually make dumplings with shortening, but I was out. I thought I'd try a new recipe. Do not try this one unless you really like egg taste.

Awesome! I just wish I hadn't substituted whole wheat flour (I used about 3/4 cup, the rest white). Also, I have never made dumplings before and wasn't really sure how big to make them; I think mine (at about 1-1/2--2 inches) were too big, as they were dry in the middle. My 4-year-old loved them anyway, and so did picky-eater boyfriend, so, Awesome!

This is a good basic recipe, however the dumplings are not really that good. I made it a second time and used bisquick for the dumplings and they were fantastic.

YUCK! I found the dumplins rubbery and lacking flavor...I then added some poultry seasoning and pepper to the mix....finding that the orig recipe for the dumplins was too dry and hard, I added a bit of milk as suggested by another rater....improved it a bit...consensus among the 3 of us....2 liked it, I didn't and won't try it again. still too rubbery.

After following the receipe to a T, I thought I was going to have to throw the whole thing out. I thought out removing the dumplings and making them from another receipe, but changed my mind. When it says make the dumplings small, it means...make them pea size! These were the worst tasting dumplings I have ever tried. I then added a chopped up onion, some poultry seasoning, chopped garlic, parsley, lot of salt and pepper. I continued cooking them on low for another hour. The flavor got better on the soup part, but the dumplings are something to be desired, unless you like hard rubber. Blah! Can biscuits make better dumplings. If this family grew up beleiving these were dumplings, they would think that they had died and gone to heaven if they had the real thing. Sorry, never again. Renamed: Chicken Soup with rubber droppings.

I used some herbs to flavour the chicken stock with. Some fresh rosemary and a couple bay leaves which I then strained out when I took the chicken out. I wanted a stew not a soup so I ended up thickening this and it turned out really good. I also used a different dumpling recipe since I was worried the dumplings would be tough because of what the other reviewers said. But the flavour was excellent and I would use this recipe as a base again.

After a separation from my wife of 14 years I've had to start cooking and like any man I take the easy way out lol... This recipe was so simple for me and it turned out fantastic... I noticed the dumplings were way too dry after adding all the eggs, maybe large eggs would of been better, but I only had 4 eggs, so I substituted another egg with a 1/4 cup milk and added two packs of chicken gravy mix instead of the boullion cubes turned out fantastic... I've made this meal 4 times now and every time it's been a success for me....
