I made this for my family tonight. It was great! I think I will keep it the same but add a few carrots and celery next time. Thanks for the quick and easy!

Never mind! Have read the above comments (I’m a plonker) and discovered that we can use the buttermilk biscuits recipe.

This looks so *so* good, but I’m in England, and don’t have Pilsbury biscuits available. I do believe we have various flaky pastry mixes available…will they do or so I need a seperate recipe for dumplings?

Thanks for the recipe – I just bought four cans of “Jumbo Flaky Biscuits” from the grocery store for a quarter a piece (they expire in a week), and I wasn’t exactly sure what I was going to do with all of them. Well, this is a start anyway!

Going to try this in my crock pot and I think I will be adding peas and carrots to the mix. My co-workers are going to be jealous! Ha!

I like to read a bunch of recipes and then do my own thing. Thank you for the ‘coating the biscuits in flour and NOT stirring’ tip. I usually end up with dumpling flavored chicken soup. I’m making chicken and stuffed dumplings tonight…basically your recipe except i’m using a whole chicken, cream of celery and cream of chicken soup and stuffing some celery, bell pepper and green onions into the biscuits before i drop them in, oh AND coating them with flour….hope it turns out.

My Grandma used to make “dumplings” at least once a week, after she passed though, my Mom who doesn’t like dumplings, didn’t make them. So, I haven’t had “dumplings” in years, and I loved them so much as a little girl. We’re talking the mid 70’s, so what a treat to find this super easy, most delicious recipe. Grandma made them from scratch, but Christy your recipe is almost as good as her scratch recipe, and certainly a huge time saver. I made them Friday night, today is Sunday, and Hubby and I are still talking about how great they were. So good in fact I had to subscribe to your site and leave you this comment! Thanks for the great recipe…

I’m a 25 year old bachelor (without a whole lot of cooking experience) and found this meal incredibly easy to make. I threw chopped celery and carrots in to boil with the broth and sauteed some white onion before adding it in as well. Definitely made for some hearty eats.

Okay…I’ve been looking all over for this exact recipie. I’ve been craving this since I had some at my aunt and uncles hometown. I’m 20 weeks pregnant and the craving is super strong! LOL! I’ve gone through dozens with veggies added. But I don’t think they will taste this good, cause this is exactly what I had in Lometa, TX. I can’t wait to cook this tonight. Have you added veggies to this recipie before? If so, does it change the taste?

Hello from Southern Indiana! I’ve been trying to find a good chicken and dumplings recipe to make for my husband (he loves ‘em, I can’t stand them) for 15 years. In that time, I’ve made some pretty bad dumplings, but my husband, God bless him, chokes them down anyway, lol! I found this recipe a couple of weeks ago, and made a small pot the first time. My husband ate the whole pot by himself and asked for it again two days later. I usually triple it and he takes it to work to share – the pot comes home empty that night! He is completely addicted to this recipe. It is so easy, and the taste is unbelievable! I really appreciate the photos, and the advice about not stirring the dumplings is key – I’ve made quite a few dumpling-flavored soups in my time. I never thought of dredging the biscuits in flour to keep them together as well as thicken the gravy, I just kept adding more condensed soup. This is definitely a recipe that has become a staple in our home. I’ve even eaten a few myself, and I must say it’s very good! Thanks so much for sharing this recipe – you’ve helped make my husband quite a happy camper!

P.S. This recipe is even better and easier than a certain Food Network recipe I tried, and it was the simplest one on the website. Needless to say, your blog is now my first stop when searching for recipes! Thanks again!
