Tastewise, this is really good. It does end up quite runny, kind of like a stew. Yummy though!

    I used dry mixes for this recipe and it is still great. For the self-rising flour I used recipe # 5247. For the milk I substituted dry milk, stirred it into the flour mixture and used chicken broth for the liquid instead of water. I substituted Homemade Cream Soup Mix Homemade Cream Soup Mix for the Cream of Chicken Soup. Also, added no seasoning salt or parsley to the recipe and used frozen chopped peas and carrots defrosted under running water. It is important to stop the recipe early enough. When the top is brown there will still be quite a bit of liquid. The liquid does set up upon cooling. If you continue to bake past the top is brown state the recipe will be a bit dry and more casserole/potpie like, instead of Chicken and Dumpling like. Still good either way though.

    Nothing left! My family likes chicken and dumplings, but our traditional recipe is quite a bit of work. So when I saw this one, I had to give it a try. When the entire pan was gone, I realized I'd hit on a winner. (The taste and texture somewhat reminded us of a recipe my parents had tried from a Bob Evans restaurant.) The recipe didn't print out very well — my printer was having problems — and the first three steps didn't print at all, so I had to guess at the method in those steps. My guessing was a little off but it worked out well. We'll DEFINITELY have this one again! Thanks for sharing this easy and delicious recipe!
