    I have made this recipe a couple of times now and it was as good as the last time I made it. For simple ingredients it has a lot of flavor. The only thing I changed was I made my own biscuits with bisquick and added parsley to the mix.

    I can't imagine anyone thinking that this recipe "s*cked." I did add some of my own touches to the chicken and broth. I cooked the chicken with about 6 sprigs of fresh time in addition to the vegetables and other ingredient listed, and added some salt. Also, I didn't know how much broth to reserve, so I used it all. Had to reduce it down a bit and still had to add more flour to get it to thicken properly. And honestly, I didn't notice any difference between the homemade dumplings and the recipe on the Bisquick box -- I think next time I will just use the Bisquick, they are just as good. But overall, it is a great dish -- I used this with my Staub cast iron "chicken pot" and it really makes for a fabulous, tender, juicy chicken. We loved it, I am making it again and again.

    This was a nice,easy recipe for chix and dumplings, however, it was a bit dull to the tastebuds. To compensate, I added tarragon plus parsely, used spicier peppercorns, and threw a tbsp of butter in at the end to give it some extra depth. You can also do the dumplings in a mixer with a paddle attachment, just beat lightly for about 30 seconds. Came out with a really nice consistency and texture.

    This looked promising....but it was just lacking the flavor that I thought would be present.

    I got sick, so I wanted something homey and hearty. This was good, particularly the dumplings, but the broth was not very strong flavored, and I had to salt it a lot. If I make it again, I might add some thyme to the pot when I make the broth.

    I agree with the other reviewer that the recipe is incomplete regarding the broth. I'm an experienced cook, so I could figure it out, but the directions should be more clear. I also agree that the dish is bland, so I doctored up the broth with dried sage, thyme, added a couple of chicken bouillion cubes plus kept tasting for salt and pepper until it had some decent flavor.

    i have never made chicken and dumplings before and my 13 year old son asked for some. I got on the foodnetword.com and looked it up and found this recipe. It is the best I have ever had and my son was impressed too. He told me it was the best he had ever had, which is saying somthing considering that a chef made him his first batch. It is very easy and very good.
