Base recipe is fine. I never follow the spice portion of recipes so mine was not too salty. My complaint is the dumplings. Using prepared biscuits would have been better.

I followed recipe but omitted buillion cubes and only enough water to cover chicken. It smelled great while cooking but before I made the dumplings I tasted the broth...way too salty! So I tried correcting the saltiness with additional seasonings (not house seasoning and hoped the dumplings would absorb the excess salt. They did not! The dumplings were tough and chewy and this recipe does not taste like down south chicken n dumplings I'm so disappointed and kinda embarrassed to serve it to my family in a little while. Maybe if I add peas & carrots it will take some of the salt away. I would not use this recipe again. I had a bowl and my mouth feels so dry from all that salt :(

We made this on a really cold evening and it really hit the spot.
I used chicken breasts and the chicken tasted well seasoned. I used bisquick for the dumplings as a short cut.
I highly recommend this recipe.

I always use chicken breasts only, and this turned out great. I added some poultry seasoning and a little cornstarch to thicken. I also cheated and used frozen dumplings -- I have tried to make my own in the past and they never turn out right. The extra cooking time that frozen dumplings require gives the dish time to develop great flavor!

To the OVER SALT comments..... you realize this recipe calls for a TEASPOON of House Seasoning, right? The ingredients at the end of the recipe for the House Seasoning is for 1 1/2 cups of House Seasoning. You will use 1 tsp in the dumpling dish.

This is an OK dumpling dish. Dumplings were tough and someone mentioned. Not bad, but there are better recipes out there.

This was great...with that saying I think people used the entire thing of house seasoning instead of the recommended 1 teaspoon. Plus u have to taste it while putting seasoning in your dishes. Everyone's taste buds are different......this was so good the fam loved it.

this was ABSOLUTELY too much salt!! I wished I had read some of the reviews before I actually made it! I am now trying to figure out how to salvage what I have, so that I don't have to throw out dinner!!

Way too salty, ruined $11.00 worth of chicken! I was in tears. I followed the recipe exactly. Paula Deen owes me some monies for all this chicken! House seasoning????

I prepared this exactly as written except for the chicken. I used 3 large bone in/skin on breasts and added some chicken broth in place of some of the water. The chicken and the base were wonderful. The vegetables and seasonings made the chicken and the soup taste great. However, i was hoping for a thicker base. I watched the video after making this recipe. Looks like Paula only uses 2 quarts of water instead of the 4 the recipe calls out. Also, i was not crazy about this dumpling. Maybe i handled the dough too much, but mine were tough. Next time, i will use this recipe as a base, only with less water and find a different dumpling recipe.
