This is a super recipe! It is easy to prepare and produces a moist flavorful chicken dish. The dumplings were perfecr light and fluffy.I found that it was ready in 5 hours and turned it to warm turned it on low again an hour before dinner to cook the dumplings. Next time I will add carrots, peas & potatoes to the crockpot. I like the added bonus that you use fat reduced soup and skim milk and it tasted creamy good. Thanks Tish for a real winner. -

Tish, this was delish! I followed all directions exactly, except I omitted the rosemary (my personal preference). The chicken came out so tender and full of flavor; the dumplings an added bonus. I doubled the recipe as well, and served with mashed potatoes and carrots on the side. -
It was a great meal and really easy to make. The only thing that the dumplings needed to cook longer than an hour. -
This is an easy recipe to make. It was a lot faster than I thought to prepare. Everyone seemed to like the taste. I kind of cheated on the dumplings because I used Bisquick instead of the ones listed on the recipe. It still turned out really good.

This is delicious!! I prepared exactly as directed and mine was ready in 4 hrs. start to finish including the cooking of the dumplings! I served with mashed potatoes as suggested and wished I had doubled the yummy sauce to have more gravy for them!! With the dumplimgs you could have this with just a few vegetables on the side and even skip the potatoes or rice. We enjoyed this and will certainly make again, Thanks Tish!:)

This was the most tender chicken I have ever had! I wanted to double the recipe but all I had was one can of cream of chicken and one can of cream of broccoli. It was a perfect combination. I also used chicken broth in place of the water. The dumplings were also a great addition and I didnt have to serve this over anything because I also added broccoli, carrots, and green beans to the pot. It took a total of 5 hours for this to be done. I would highly recommend trying this. Thank you so much Tish for posting. Will be making this often.

I live in Las Vegas. I was lucky enough to run into Recipezaar around Nov. 2000 and got hooked quickly. I am a cookbook collector and have been collecting recipes for as long as I can remember. My DH had to build in shelves for all my cookbooks! I like to dabble with OAMC and for a few years hosted the Budget/OAMC forum with some great people over there. Even though I don't work in the forum any longer I've set up a lot of cookbooks for the purpose of OAMC and stretching food that might be helpful. Please feel free to check them out! I go on food jags and cooking jags! Please come say hi to me and chat on facebook. I currently host a blog for saving money through finding deals and coupons if you are interested. Most of the time I try to cook and have a good dinner on the table but I'll be honest enough to say there is still fast food occasionally in the budget! I have had such wonderful support here whenever I need it. Thank you all for being here! Just a quick note on how I rate recipes:
? 5 stars - This recipe is perfect. (My DH is truly a critic and doesn't give 5's unless it's amazing) I would recommend it to others and would definitely make again.
? 4 stars - This recipe was good but I would change something in it next time.
? 3 stars - This is a recipe I would not make again but it was OK
? 2 stars - This recipe I would not make again and we didn't like it at all
? 1 star - This recipes did not work out/taste was unappealing and wouldn't make again
