Very good. I did 3 frozen chicken breasts and simmered them in enough chicken stock to cover until done. Then shredded the chicken and put it back in. Then instead of the can of soup, I added left over cream sauce I made (for pasta the night before;reduced chicken stock, butter, little flour, cream/half&half). I sauted the celery and onions, (added) carrots and added to the pot. Add a little extra milk to the dumpling dough, the come out nicely if you make them extra sticky. Great flavor...even leaving out the celery seed which I didn't have.

I don't cook Chicken & Dumplings (in any form) too often for my family. Specifically because I consider "it" to be one of my nominal "guilty pleasures". After having been eating Chicken & Dumplings for over 50 years and having been cooking it (primarily for myself) for 35+ years, I think this is the BEST Chicken & Dumplings recipe I've ever come across. Sorry Nana.

I like this recipe. The celery seed is a little over powering. I'd cut that down next time to 3/4 tsp. I did add a bouillon cube and garlic powder. Thanks for the recipe!

I have been making this recipe for about 2 yrs now and love it! I have tweaked it a bit for my family. I don't add the oil in the skillet in the beginning and I use about half the amount of chicken breast; I also put more celery and add chopped carrots to the broth. I have used ground turkey breast and leftover turkey meat in place of the chicken before and it always turns out fabulous!

While this was very good, I did have to "help" it, and it still wasn't the chicken and dumplings I remember from when I was a kid. I changed up the cooking method and cooked the chicken, onion, and celery (and I added carrot), then added in the milk, soup, broth and seasonings. I found the liquid in this recipe a bit bland, so I tossed in some pepper and a chicken boullion cube - that helped a lot! Also, on the dumplings, I increased the amount of milk to about 3/4 c because another recipe said that your dough needs to be very runny/sticky for it to produce fluffy dumplings. Mine did turn out quite fluffy and moist, so I am glad I did the milk increase. This was good, and I will probably make it again, but it still wasn't quite what I was looking for.

Ok so I admit, I used this recipe as a base for my leftovers. I had some thyme roasted chicken and vegetables (celery,potatoes, carrots and onion)to use up from the night before. I also used cream of mushroom soup because thats all I had. I mixed the liquids with a bit more broth and added the leftover veggies and chicken and brought to a boil. I added the dumplings and cooked till done and wow such an easy and economical dish that my husband described as "rich" and it was a total hit. So though I modified the recipe this was a great base recipe that I will keep.

If I could rate this a 0 I would. I doubled my liquids due to being concerned about the dumplings drying it all out. That didn't even matter because once I dropped the dumplings in, it soaked all of the liquid up & started burning the bottom. Overall, the celery seed was way too over powering & the overall taste was scorched. Will ever make again!

it was great!!! i followed the recipe exactly, but double, and there was no leftovers.

I only used the dumpling part of this recipe as I like to make my own soup to go with them. Usually I use the bisquick recipe but was out today. I'm so happy I was out because these dumplings were wonderful! I'll never use that nasty bisquick again. I did find that I needed a little more milk and oil to make a nice sticky dough. They turned out so fluffy and perfect! Thank you for this recipe!

Very tasty and easy. I liked the dumplings. I did add a little more flour and roll them out, because I like them that way.

Very good :-) very pleased however i did make some changes to our liking mostly didnt add some of the required items and i used bisquick dumplings just because i am not very well versed in the homemade dumplings they did turn out last time BUT STILL ITS A WONDERFUL RECIPE AND WE WILL EAT IT MANY MORE TIMES thank you for sharing :-)

I LOVE the dumplings! I use the dumplings from this recipe with the Irish chicken and dumplings from the site and my family always give rave reviews.

This was great and reminded me of my grandma's dumplings. Definitely will make again.

I can only give this recipe a 4-Star due to the fact that I had to make some minor adjustments. I used 1 can of Cream of Chicken and one can of Cream of Celery and two cans of Chicken Broth. I cooked my chicken ahead of time and shredded the chicken. I used Bisquick recipe for dumplings which were excellent!! I think 1 Tsp of Celery Seed is way too overpowering in this recipe. Next time I'm not even sure I'll use it, or if I do, it will only be a few dashes. With those changes, this was an awesome dish and one that I will make again!

This made my family very happy tonight. Delicious meal. Really easy and very little prep. I used dried minced onion since I didn't have fresh on hand and added about 1/2 tsp poultry seasoning to the dumplings. I simmered this about 30 min. longer since I got busy making a pie and forgot to get the rest of the meal done. Thanks for such an easy and tasty recipe.

Great recipe. I added 1/2 cup chopped carrots and sauted them with the celery, onions and chicken. I also added an extra can of chicken broth and cream of chicken soup. This made for more broth. I added two diced and peeled potatos to the broth when I added the chicken mixture. A little parsley in the dumplings made them a little prettier. I just loved this recipe and my boys did too! I will definatly make it again!

This was very easy and delicious. I added chopped carrot to mine. Total time from prep to table about an hour and 15 min. Very good!

Sooo easy and sooo good.

Smelled sensational but when I ate it the celery seed kinda over powered it.

This is great! My family loves it! It is quick and easy. I try to buy the lower sodium soup whenever on sale. I also like to toss my cooked chicken strips in taco seasoning for an extra kick before adding it to the soup mixture. Thanks for sharing!
