I LOVE chicken & dumplings so when I found this I added my own spin to it and lowered the fat and calories. This is the best chicken and dumplings I've ever had which is amazing since I'm never satisfied with my cooking! You can have a full cup of this hearty comfort food for only 284 calories and 3.8 grams of fat! The sodium could be reduced if homemade biscuits are used instead of the canned biscuits, but if sodium isn't a problem this is a very fast and easy way to make chicken & dumplings!

Just to clarify for the questions below:
First, YES the cream cheese is figured into the totals...if you use FULL FAT cream cheese, the fat content will be considerably higher. But low fat cream cheese really takes the fat down.

Second, I haven't ever tried it with regular Italian dressing...let me know how it turns out!

Third, I HIGHLY recommend using the low setting for cooking...it allows the juices from the chicken to really seep into the dressing.

In 15 minutes, this easy recipe will take the chill off a cold evening.

Chef Meg made over a versatile member recipe by adding extra vegetables and reducing the sodium. Serve with a side salad or over whole wheat pasta or brown rice.

The potatoes soak in all the flavor from the sourkraut and the chicken broth/stock, and it is just soooooo good!!!

I really enjoy this "comfort food" on a cold, rainy day.

This was from another SP user, but had no ingredient details. I wanted to ensure the calculations were correct.

Ground chicken or turkey can be used instead of ground beef

My husband ate something similar on a trip to Munich. He searched the internet until he found a recipe that sounded like what he ate. After a few tries and a few alterations, this is what we came up with. Not a low fat meal, but hearty and satifying. Served with mashed potatoes it is a real winner. To accomdate the high fat, just plan out your meals for that day to give balance.

Traditional German Keilbasa soup, with a very few minor changes. Like adding garlic.

Serve with rice, pasta, small white beans, baked potatoes, pitas, bagels, tortillas and refried beans, or just by itself!! It really is that good.
