Chicken & Dumplings

[BarbA 10]

I made this yesterday too, while i had my kids at soccer practice.

 

It turned out YUMMY! i put 6 half breasts in my crock pot tho .. and it's just too small for that and it was bubbling over after i had the dumplings in there cooking! I should have stuck with just 4. I added in about 3 stalks of celery sliced, a handfull of baby carrots, and an onion sliced up, instead of diced.

 

I used one can of the lowfat Cream of Celery soup, and one of the lowfat Cream of chicken .. and added the chicken broth instead of water. I also threw in poultry seasoning. My DH was "ok" with it, two of my three kids loved it. He's outvoted! Grinning.

Which refrigerated biscuits? The small ones that are 3 for 150 calories to a serving? This would seem to call for caution, as some refrigerated biscuits are close to 200 calories or more EACH, whereas the smaller ones (Pillsbury in the skinny blue can, for example) are more like 50 each. The smaller ones may be the only ones that are a 10-oz package, though...

 

I'm definitely going to be trying this! Sounds wonderful.

Oh my gosh was this good! I used the 4 chicken breasts and added carrots, small new potatoes, green beans and a few peas. My DH loved it too and we have enough left for some fast dinners this week. This is something we'll definitely have again! And very quick & easy to make.

I just need to add that I made this today and it is delish! I added a packet of onion soup mix and a bag of frozen mixed veggies. Plus I used one can of cream of chicken and one of cream of mushroom (it was all I had) and I adore it. I just emailed it to my brother and mother. Thanks for posting and sharing.

 

Oh yeah, I forgot to say that I used 5 boneless skinless thighs because they were cheaper at the grocery store.

another favorite in my household! I add the carrots! I actually had to throw out the leftovers last time because it was oo good I wanted to eat it all! It's in the crockpot as we speak!

[Tudie 10]

bump...had to search for it again, lost my printout! Great Recipe, I'm making for a potluck tomorrow!

[IwantTheRedPill 10]

I was very skeptical because I thought the biscuits wouldn't cook in that amount of time, expected them to be doughy BUT

this was WONDERFUL and will be making a lot more.

Thanks for recipe.

This sounds yummy. I cannot wait to try it!

I loved this recipe but my husband didn't care for it but he doesn't really like chicken and dumplings.

Bumping for the girls on the 30s boards...rave reviews for this recipe.

[Tudie 10]

I made this again last Sunday and its been perfect everytime. And it warms up great for leftovers.

[Guest AmyMCGS]

Say 8 servings but there is 4 chicken breasts?????

I have made a stovetop version of this for years and I always shredded or chopped the chicken. So, yes, it would easily make that many servings.

 

My stovetop version also had a large can of veg-all chunky added in, which is good, but the potatoes would add points. I've also used peas/carrots.

 

Thanks for sharing this recipe... I hadn't thought of it as being low-points, nor had I tried it in the crockpot! It's going on my menu planning list!

Must be good, the threads been alive for 4 years LOL. I will def put carrots in mine and I love the reduced fat wheat grands buiscuts. Thanks for the tip!

[Bianca 10]

I made this yesterday for the first time and everyone loved it! I didn't get to put any onions in it because DH hates them, but it was still VERY tasty! I definitely recommend this one!

[IWannaBeSkinny 10]

I am eating this as i type! LOOOOVE it! If you like chicken and dumplins you will love this recipe! I do not really like big chunks of onion so i used the lipton onion soup instead and it really is yummy!

[Leesa68 10]

I have fixed these Chicken and Dumplings a couple of times since I have been on WW and they are wonderful. Another family favorite!

This sounds great and is going on my menu for this week.

Made this for supper tonight, and it was great!!

 

I used the onion soup mix that someone suggested, and added a can of peas and carrots for my veggies. It was a big hit with the whole family, and perfect for this snowy day!

Also, I don't happen to have the nutritional information for the 98% FF soup, so the points for this are for the regular cream soup.

 

Does anyone have the points value once you add the veggies and use the 98% FF soups?? Just a question.

 

Another question...if it is for 8 servings..does this break down to about 8 cups? Just wanting to be real "fair" on my points.

 

Thanks,

Lesa --

 

If I figured correctly, it would be 5 pts. per serving, and a serving is closer to 1 1/2 cups. Someone may want to double check me on that, because sometimes I'm not real sure about my figures!
