I have tried this recipe twice, once with chicken thighs and once with chicken breasts and the breasts were better. I cooked the chicken in a crock pot for about 6 hours with dried minced onion and salt and pepper. Also, I added about 2 Tbsp. of butter when finished. I would recommend this recipe to anyone who enjoys good, old-fashioned chicken and dumplings!!

I found these to be very simple to make, and they reminded me so much of the chicken and dumplings I grew up loving that My Mom used to make. The only thing I did was add 2 teaspoons poultry seasoning (I used McCormack's but I'm sure there are many other brands.) The first time I went with the recipe as it was, and it was very good, just a touch bland, but still wonderful. With the sasoning I added it gave it just enough boost to make it better. But I'd still highly recommend it to anyone that thiks dumplings are hard to make. This will change their mind! Thank you to the person who posted the original recipe, it has brought back a family favor ite of ours!

I make this recipe every Christmas for our family gathering and it is the favorite dish loved by all. It is time consuming but well worth the effort.
