Guess as a Northerner I'm more accustomed to a light, fluffy dumpling. This one is firm, substantial, almost chewy. The flavor is wonderful, but for anyone looking for an airy, pillowy dumpling, this isn't it.

I enjoyed this recipe as a starter. I too added carrots, as I am used to them in my chicken and dumplings. I was surprised that these were more noodle dumplings than the airy biscuit type. Since this dumpling was new too me I didn't have much to go on as to how "cooked through" should look or taste. A little bit more direction on this would have been nice. Otherwise it was tasty and I would make it again.

This is the closest recipe I could find to how I think my grandmother prepares hers. I won't say it was as good as hers, but it was pretty darn tasty! I used homemade chicken stock. The flour from the dumplings thickened the stock into a pefect gravy.

I am the proof that this recipe is a keeper. I moved from NY to NC and never, ever made chicken and dumplings before. I gave it a try hoping it wasn't a flop. After trying it and liking it I recruited my southern friends to try and low and behold, they all loved it. PS. One friend said "it doesn't taste like a woman from NY made this".

The dumplings were great !! but the chicken was lacking in flavor i browned the chicken and seasoned the chicken before i added the water this gave the chicken much more flavor and also needed to use some more seasonings and i also used a can of cream of chicken soup came out great everyone loved it

Yummy! I reserve 5 stars for only the drop dead, I ate it all myself before anyone else could get any recipes but this dish really is tasty. I made this dish minus the onion and celery and it was very good. The Dumplings were not at all doughy, I think those who had that experience may not have had dumplings before. My grandmother passed but she used to make chicken and dumplings from scratch and this recipe took me back.

I tried and it turned out to be doughy and not cooked, nobody liked it at our house. Sorry. Could have been me, never had it before, stuck to the recipe and I usually get good results even if I am making something new.

For those of you who may be hesitant to try this recipe due to some of the negative reviews, please try this suggestion: Instead of using just water, use canned or boxed chicken broth or adding chicken bouillon cubes to the water. I used chicken tenderloins (cut into tiny pieces) instead of whole chicken due to health reasons, and I can see why it could turn out bland. I also increased the onion to a whole onion, and added a couple of carrots. This tastes even better the second day.

This is the best recipe I've found for authentic chicken n' dumplings. After visiting my boyfriend's family in AR and having his grandma's chicken n' dumplings, this was the one recipe I've seen that seemed like his grandmas. I made it for him and he loved it! He said it's the closest thing to his grandma's he's ever had and that it was eve nbetter then his mom's or his dad's chicken n' dumplings. I would say to those who didn't like it, that there are 2 keys to it's success. 1)Before adding the dumplings back in, taste the broth and season it to your liking. 2) After cutting the dumplings but before throwing them in, make sure they are well coated in loose flour. Toss the dumpling strips in four and shake it off as you add them in. That's how you get the smooth thick broth.

I liked this recipe, but is lacks taste. So I added cream of chicken soup and a lot of spices. I did like the dumplings, although my DH said they were flour"E". I did add the corn startch, to thicken it up. I had fun making this recipe.

This recipe is fantastic and yes, the dumplings are the flat noodle type, like those served at CrackerBarrel. The ones who rated this so low were obviously looking for a different type of dumpling (they need to try good old Jiffy, the recipe is right on the back of the box). I am a mommy so I don't like to spend all day in the kitchen so this is what I do: I buy a cooked rotisserie chicken, get all the meat off and put it in the pot along with all drippings from the container, and 2- 32 oz. containers of chicken broth (8 cups total) plus 4 cups of water with 4 tsp. of chicken boullion granules. This makes 12 cups. Then add the poultry seasoning, seasoned salt, and pepper. Boil and add dumplings. When the dumplings are about done, thicken with about 1 cup of flour mixed with 3/4 - 1 cup of cold water if you like it thicker (like me)! This recipe is very quick, as long as you have your dumpling dough prepared ahead of time and ready to go! It's a 30 minute meal from start to finish! I don't even use the veggies cooked in margarine and it tastes wonderful, it doesn't need any additional seasoning and it's nice to have it without the bones in it. The dumplings are so tender! ENJOY!!!

This recipe is as close as the one that my mother/father and grandmother taught me to make. The only thing I do differently is to make sure that I don't over-work the dough and to roll out the dough as thin as humanly possible. Doing this allows the dumplings to become very tender. Also add additional flour to the dumplings as you roll them out to prevent them from sticking and this will also thicken up the gravy in a great way. Great recipe.
