This recipe was just ok but I ll probably make it again. I felt there was too much poultry seasoning so I ll definitely cut that back next time. Be sure to make your dumplings small otherwise they will come out gummy.
I've made this twice now and really enjoy it. I've done everything according to the recipe except instead of poultry seasoning I use a combo of Italian seasoning thyme Mrs. Dash Onion and Herb seasoning and garlic powder and I add more than 1 tbsp seasoning total so it is not bland. I must also mention that out of convenience I used Pillsbury Buttermilk Biscuits dough. It was delicious.
Taste GREAT! Food was awesome but gave me the poops. Made it three times and three times I had the poops. Not sure what to do. Pros: Easy to make had left overs. Tasted really good. Cons: Gave me the poops.
Great Comfort Food This did take quite a while to prep. Chopping all the veggies and especially browning the chicken. It was worth it though; it is so good!! I used bisquick for the dumplings instead of the flour mixtures. I added celery seed to both the flour on the chicken and the dumpling mix as suggested by other reviewers. It was so so good. Definitely will make again. Pros: Delicious Cons: A lot of prep time
Just as good as traditional.... I LOVE this recipe as did my husband (did not seem to notice the dumplings were wheat) and will make it again. I agree it is a little heavy on the poultry seasoning and lightened up on that and will lighten up on it even more next time...added a little more salt to each addition including flour for chicken....followed reviewer's suggestion to add celery salt and garlic powder to dumplings. I thought this recipe came out just perfect...nice and thick and not tons leftover Pros: Lighter whole wheat dumplings Cons: None
But what about the dumplings? I made this recipe for the first time and LOVED it. I added more carrot celery and peas because I wanted to veggie-pack it even more. However my dumplings came out heavy and a bit tough. Does anyone know a good way to prevent this? Pros: Chicken and veggies came out tender and flavorful. The sauce is delicious. Cons: My dumplings came out heavy and glue-y.
I just made this recipe with veggies I had around the house like cauliflower peas sweet potato and onion. it looks yummy--can't wait to eat!
Lacks a lot of flavor. I actually didn't like the dumplings at all. It was very bland. I hate to admit it but I added salt just to be able to finish the dish. I'm going to try the other recipe on EatingWell for Chicken & Dumplings and see how that one goes.
Really great flavor! I did not miss the extra salt at all. We have had this twice and it is a big hit in my house. I used boneless skinless chicken breasts and salt free poultry seasoning blend (combination of basil rosemary sage marjoram thyme and oregano).
It was okay but not what I was looking for. Waaay too much poultry seasoning bland otherwise.
Try adding celery seed to the flour for the chicken. Also add it to the dumpling mix with a tough of garlic powder. Makes all the difference in the world. I make chicken and dumplngs all the time but tried this recipe--wasnt bad with my additions.
Yum! This recipe was great and a keeper for me! Used a whole chick that I cooked in crock and used the broth from it. Didn't have poultry seasoning but a combination of thyme sage. Guests and family loved during snow storm that had us all shut in! Pros: None Cons: Easy
Great! I really like this recipe! I've made it a few times and it always fills everyone up (even my heavy hitters!) One bowl usually does it for people. It all goes together really fast but it takes a while to cut and prep everything. Plus it's good on my diet (the 4 Day Diet)! Pros: Easy to make good for left over chicken from the night before Cons: Takes a Long time to make
