4 Stars for me. Easy to make and has good flavor. I like my dumplings a little more moist and not so brown/crispy. Next time I'll cover with foil for first 30 minutes of cook time and remove during the last 10 minutes to help dumplings to retain more moisture. I couldn't find buttermilk baking mix, so I used bisquick and used real buttermilk instead of plain milk for the dumplings. -
Excellent!! This was a hit with the adults right down to the grandkids. There were no leftovers. Definitely a keeper. I did not have any Bisquick so I whipped up some drop biscuits from scratch, but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. Thanks so much for posting this, I had been looking for the recipe after tasting a similar dish at a shower several years ago. -
I've had this recipe for years from a magazine and my family absolutely love it. I do make my own broth while cooking the chicken so it isn't too salty as other reviews have stated. -
Yum, this was very tasty. I would definitely call it chicken and bisquit casserole, as they are not soft and fluffy like dumplings. Next time I would do less salt, as ours was very salty, even though we used fresh made broth with no salt added. -
Very good. Used frozen carrots instead of peas.

I am a stay at home mom, with 4 teenage boys and a five year old daughter. Feeding the boys and their dad can be a real challenge. I need to stay on budget, and still provide mass amounts of vidals.
