"This is a great recipe for chicken and dumplings using whole pieces of chicken rather than just a stew. It can be served on plates for a great meal."

Let me start by saying I make a mean pan c&d myself, but i just threw out my recipe & made this my new & only recipe! I followed the recipe expect for 2 things, I dredged my chicken(thighs& legs) in season flour before browning and used an extra clove of garlic. My husband took two bites and started moaning with delight.I asked if you deserved 5 stars and he said 100 stars! Plus 20 min. after he ate this his blood pressure went from 138/88 to 114/70. I also made Nan's dumplings- also sensational. Thank you for posting this. Vicki

This was delish! I made it with Nan's Dumplings as suggested and the only thing I would change next time would be more garlic and more cheese in the dumplings. Definitely the best chicken and dumplings recipe I've had so far ;-)

One of the best I have ever had! Outstanding! I ended up using chicken breast and Bisquick for the dumplings - and it all turned out so great! I will make this again and again! Made for Zaar Cookbooks Tag.

This recipe is delicious! I made it a couple weeks ago and have been craving it again ever since. I did use more garlic, just cause me and the bf prefer everything with more garlic. Thanks for posting!

Very nice, made with Nan's dumplings as suggested. I used a cut up whole chicken, and a bit of extra garlic. I wish I had used more carrots, as they were fantastic after having been sauteed with the celery. The fact that it used whole chicken was a plus, and made for a prettier dish, I think. I might thicken the sauce a bit more next time, and use a bit more spice. Very nice, homey recipe, and my husband's first chicken and dumplings ever!
