     OMG! This is soooo tasty! I looked at each package biscuit to find the lowest calorie one and I also tore up the biscuits so you got to enjoy more dumplings with each bite. I used low sodium and low fat chicken broth to cut calories as well. This was delicious! - 8/11/10

     Just made this and it was very good, I did add a little flour to the mixture towards the end to make it a little thicker. - 3/14/12

     I've always made this in the crock pot, adding the biscuits (I also tear them up) and turning it on high for the last 30 minutes. I also add a can of cream of chicken or cream of onion soup. Delicious! - 12/22/10

     I added some cream of chicken soup & half can of milk to this recipe, I also added some sage to give it more of a "chickeny" flavor. I boiled my chicken breasts in the broth before shredding it. A great starter recipe! - 11/4/10

     It was okay but lacked flavor. I won't make it again. However I will use the can of biscuits time saver. - 10/15/10
