My wife still works the weekends as a baker and cake decorator. So Mondays I cook to give her a rest day. Needless to say put "easy" in a recipe name and you'll get my attention every time. This recipe is very easy and delicious. I made it exactly by the recipe except we had a bag of frozen dumplings so I used them. (Remember the part about "easy"?:) It rated a compliment from the Boss (read "wife"). And I don't get compliments on my cooking. So it's gotta be 5 stars. Many thanks LUCYBARRON.

Soup was good. I would cut back on the Thyme and Rosemary. It was to overpowering for our taste buds. I also would cut back on the amount of biscuit dough that this recipe calls for. Instead of putting raw chicken into the soup I put in a rotisserie chicken instead. Definitely would make this again.
Browning the chicken first (in the same pot you'll cook the rest of this in so you get all those nice brown bits of fond) makes a BIG difference in flavor. I added chopped onion some minced garlic and a couple of bay leaves too. To thicken I added a small can of cream of chicken soup which instantly transformed it into a nice thick hearty texture. The biscuit pieces puffed up nicely in the simmering stew!
I followed the exact recipe the first time. It was good but I thought it was too much thyme and rosemary. It was a good base to start with because I have never even eaten chicken and dumplings before. The second time I made it I sautéed the vegetables in butter then added the chicken. Cooked for about five minutes then added the broth and spices. I added the dough and it was very good. Super quick and easy recipe.
I've made this several times and it's easy and everyone loves it. I season and cook the chicken slowly first and then follow the directions only using half the thyme and rosemary. I'm always a fan of yummy easy!
Amazing recipe! To add a little more flavor I put three chicken bullion cubes. I also shredded the chicken because I like it shredded in my chicken and dumplings. Easy tip: once the chicken is cooked remove it from the pot put in a mixing bowl and use a mixer to shred the chicken. It is so quick and easy!
Great recipe...very tasty and quick. You can't beat it! Thanks for sharing?? Kathy
I used chicken thighs and browned them first. I only used celery onions and poultry seasoning besides salt and pepper.
i made this and my boyfriend loved it so much im making more tonight on this cold winter night
Wow way too much seasoning. Thankfully I tasted it before I added the chicken. I double checked the recipe and I made it exactly. Sorry it's a no for me.
