I give this 3 out of 5 stars because the instructions are lacking for someone trying for the first time to make dumplings! Maybe someone who's done it before would know how long to cook them! The recipe doesn't specify.... I used the canned biscuit mix like another reader suggested and perhaps that was my mistake, but after letting them cook for about 5-7 minutes, we pulled them out and they were uncooked in the middle. Just doughy and gross. We threw everything back in and cooked it longer and then when we served it the dumplings had all but disappeared in the broth!! It was so disappointing. I really would like to try this recipe again some time, not using canned biscuit dough--Please let me know what to do after I add the dough!!!

Very good but takes lots of time to get everything ready. Make sure you use a good dumpling mix and make small dumplings, about 1/2 size of a cookie ball.

All I have to say is...Yum! After reading the other reviews, I didn't put potatos in and I added a couple different spices like garlic, celery seed (didn't have celery) and parsley to give it a little color. For lack of having some of the ingredients I also added some frozen peas. Came out awesome...almost like a pot pie stew!

I cooked this for my friends and they have not stopped asking for it again since! It was a huge hit. I did substitute water for chicken broth for a little extra flavor. Wonderful dish! It makes great leftovers too!

Good base recipe... A few changes I made/would make in future: First of all, instead of using all water, I used half water and half chicken stock (the boxed kind). Next time I wouldn't use as much though, it turned out a little too soupy. Also, I knew it would have turned out pretty bland if I hadn't of thrown in some extra herbs and spices. I used: thyme, parsley, coriander, and a little extra seasoned salt - turned out wonderfully! As I said, this is a good base recipe to go off of, you just need to tweak it a little bit to suit your tastes!

Very good. Someone else suggested using chicken broth, I did. I think it may have been a little bland without it. I did use additional water to finish covering the chiken. I wish I hadn't. Two large boxes of Swanson broth was plenty. Very good and easy recipe.

This was really good. I put 2 chicken bouillon cubes in the boiling water. I agree that it needs more salt, but other than that it was yummy.

I felt this soup needed a lot more seasonings because without them, it was quite bland. Instead of thickening with the flour and water mixture, I mashed half of the potatoes. Cleaned out my fridge and threw in every leftover vegie I could find from this past weekend including chicken gravy. With these additions, it turned out quite delicious. Thanks for a good start tho.

Definitely not a recipe for the Novice cook. Forget the 40 min cooking time. The carrots never got done and I cooked it for 1 hr and 40 minutes! I was so dissappointed as this was my first time making chicken and dumplings. I had way too much water stalk, and it was a huge pain to get the gravy to thicken up. If you are making a flour paste for gravy, you don't need 2 parts water to 1 part flour, that defeats the purpose. Just use enough water to make it a runny paste. Next time I'll try a cream of soup recipe.

Very good recipe. My family (even my 15 month old!!) really liked it. I made a few small modifications: used chicken breasts cut into bite-sized peices, only used 2 potatoes, threw in a few handfuls of frozen peas and a diced onion, subbed stock for water, and I threw in a pinch of poultry seasoning. I also added a little marjoram to the Bisquick before cooking the dumplings. It was really really good. Thanks for the recipe!!

Not bad, but needed more "salt" and like others next time I make this I would add "chicken boullion" instead of water for more flavour!

My daughter was able to make this herself and she is only 12. Like another review said, the whole house smelled delicious! I had never heard of adding potatoes but they hit the spot! My daughter added a few more spices and chicken broth the second time she made it and it was still so great!

Very bland. I added probably close to a dozen bullion cubes and a canned of condensed cream of mushroom soup to get any sort of flavor, and then sprinkled parmasan cheese on top of each serving. It was still a very loose soup, not gravy like at all, not even after adding a can of condensed cream soup. Two thumbs down.
