This is yummy and so easy! My kids and I really enjoyed it. I added some carrots and celery that I sliced thinly and steamed a bit. This seems like it should be harder to make, but it isn't! Will make again!

I ended up adding 1c or so broth because it seemed too thick, but with the cover on steam seemed to thin the sauce further so perhaps it didn't need the addition. Next time I'd put the cover on and leave it on, avoiding stirring the dumplings. I think they'd be lighter and fluffier as mine were BEFORE I stirred them. I added frozen pearl onions and peas.

NurseDi, your recipes rock! This is going to be the only way I cook chicken and dumplings from now on. So simple yet oh so yummy. I did add a few extras in it though to make it even more heartier. I added cubed cooked potatoes, celery and some carrots. I ened up using Pillsbury Grands Buttermilk Biscuits. I flattened them out and lightly dusted them with flour and cut them into 4's and plopped them right into the pot. After cooking for 20 minutes, I turned off the stove and let it sit for about 10 minutes. My end results was a very thick and hearty chicken and dumplings. Thanks again for helping me cook a great dinner.

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.
