Quick and Super Easy Chicken and Dumplings

“This is a great recipe for southern style chicken and dumplings. My husband doesn't usually like chicken and dumplings, but he absolutely loved these and asked for seconds (which he never does with anything). My little boys (2, 4, and 5 years) ate it up and asked for more also. I just threw this together on a night I didn't feel like spending much time and energy on cooking. This is great and easy for the kids to help with also.”

I'm not a huge fan of chicken and dumplings, but my husband is, so I made this for him. I made it exactly like the directions and it turned out well. It's not something I would get excited about eating, but it was good and he liked it. Definitely a plus that you can make it so quickly!

So easy and so yummy. I used part whole wheat and it was delicious. Tony doesn't care for dumplings but did like the chiken mixture.

Super easy and quick. This is a great warm meal on a cold night. Added with some mixed vegetables and rice on the side, it's a comfort-food, familiar meal.

I made this using left over "hurricane" supplies (canned chicken). It turned out wonderful. I did add celery, onion, and carrot as other comments suggested. I will add this to my hurricane season recipe box as most of the items needed are non perishable. My husband thought it was some of the best chicken and dumplings he'd ever had.

I made this last nite and it was good. I forgot to add the boullion but it was still good. I used "Texas" style buttermilk biscuits and they were too sweet, I'll try a different brand of biscuits next time. Also, all my dumplings turned out to be "sinkers", but I like them chewy. My husband liked them too, even though he was upset I didn't use his mom's recipe.

I've made this twice and both times I've had great results. Both times I've added a bag of frozen veggies and used leftover chicken. Also if you add more broth (I think I added about 40 ounces) you get more of a chicken and dumplings soup. For those with leftover dough make biscuits with it! This is definitely an easy recipe base that will stay in my rotation. Thanks!

This recipe is quick, easy, and my husband loves it! I add frozen vegetables and some pepper and onion to season. I also use refrigerated biscuit dough to speed the process along.

My husband and I didn't care for this recipe. The dumplings are not that good and was rather salty. I reduced the recipe to serve 2 people-maybe it lost something in the reduction. I do not plan on making it again.

My fiance and I loved this! I halved the dumpling mix and I think I'll half it once more; we found there were too many for our taste. I sauteed about 1/3c each of carrots, onion, celery and then threw the raw, cubed chicken in with that until it was cooked through. Then, I added the broth and brought it to a boil. I then dropped in the dumplings as directed and it turned out wonderful! Great recipe!

Great flavor. I did add chopped onion,garlic and sliced carrots as other readers have suggested. Next time though I would use broad egg noodles instead of the dumplings. Will be doing this again soon.

This was just too easy and so good! I made it exactly as written except I added a little frozen mixed vegetables. Also, the dough was really sticky and hard to work with. I think next time I would add just a little less milk. Otherwise, really good and really easy. My husband and I ate nearly the whole dish ourselves!

I have never made chicken and dumplings, and I went in my pantry and saw I had biscuit mix, chicken broth and canned chicken. I found this recipe and made it...SOOOOO easy and very good!!
