Pretty good dumplings. I made my own biscuit mix from a recipe on the internet (flour, baking powder, cream of tarter, shortening, salt) and added frozen carrots. I also used a chicken carcass that bf had picked relatively clean, so I cooked that for several hours to get the meat off the bones, then removed the bones and proceeded with the recipe. I added carrots and canned chicken to make it more chicken-y since the carcass didn't have a ton. I also made this in the crockpot--the dumplings took about 1/2 hour/45 minutes in the crockpot. This is very filling--I'm stuffed! And bf seemed to enjoy it since he had two bowlfuls as well as the rest of mine. Thanks for the recipe!

This is a great base recipe! I added a can of cream of chicken and about 2 cups of chicken broth because I used 2 cans of biscuits along with BISQUICK -- The entire family likes more dumplings than a standard recipe calls for! I will also say that butter-tasting biscuits really makes the juice TASTY! (And yes, fattening) :-) Thanks!

I made this recipe Saturday. Everyone loved it, including me, and I am not a dumpling fan! I added about 2 teaspoons of garlic granules and 2 tablespoons of chopped cilantro. I will definitely make it again soon! I also made the "baking mix" instead of using a prepared mix.

Awful. No flavor. Dumplings tasted like mush. This recipe is not good. (Made as written)

I think this is a great basic chicken and dumplings recipe. It's very easy to season to your taste!

All the recipes are excellent, but instead of all the fuss with biscuits for dumplings I cut up flour tortillas and drop in the soup.It really tastes like a dumpling, and so much easier.

This was a smash! When making the dumplings be sure to cover and leave it alone for about 10 mins so your dumplings come out perfect!

This seemed a bit "bland". There wasn't much to it. Next time, I'll use a little less chicken, double the dumplings, use 1/2 water, 1/2 chicken broth, and 2 or so chicken boullion cubes. Possibly add some carrots & celery too.
