Wonderful chicken and dumplings. They tasted a lot like my grandmother's but so much easier to make. The broth was rich and creamy. I cooked the dumplings more like 45 minutes. Yummy comfort food. My family and I voted 5-stars for this one. Thanks Nurse Di.

This was so easy and really delicious! I added green beans, corn, carrots and celery. I also used 1 can of cream of mushroom and 1 can of cream of chicken instead of 2 chicken. I added some other herbs and spices and some cornstarch to thicken it up a little. My fiance and I don't have time to cook since we are in school and this was just perfect. I don't think you can tell the difference between the biscuits and homemade dumplings. Thank you so much for posting!

Perfect for a budding cook (my 14 year old son) to make us for dinner! No veggies made is very kid friendly. All 4 of us scarfed it up. Easy, tasty, & quick. Selected for our boys' meal challenge blog Feb. 20, 2012. www.cookonbrothers.blogspot.com
Thanks for sharing! Served w/a spinach and strawberry salad.
