    I absolutely loved this recipe. It was so quick and easy and thick. I cooked the chicken in the 2 1/2 cups water and 1 1/2 cups chicken broth and then just added the rest of the ingredients, and followed directions except for biscuits. I made bisquick biscuits. So good though. Will definitely make it again.

    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.
