This is one of those quick, yummy, and filling recipes that I make sometimes if I’m in a pinch for dinner and running low on groceries. It calls for a can of cream of chicken soup. It’s worth it to have a can in my pantry for those nights that I look in my fridge and think, “I should have gone grocery shopping… like, last week.” This meal is super yummy, takes a snap to whip up, and the best part is- the ingredients are all pantry staples. It’s a family pleaser, for sure. Whenever I make it, we inevitably overeat! Thanks to my friend Allison T., who introduced this tasty meal to me!

This looks great, especially as we all try to recover from the holiday over eating we did! Happy New Year to all the sisters.
I love this recipe too! Sometimes I will saute a little onion, celery, carrots…whatever veggies I have on hand, and add them to the the gravy. It adds a little more interest and color :)
Happy New Year~

looks good and easy too! The recipes I've made for chicken and dumplings are super good but SO much work!! I'm really excited to try this one – I really love this dinner! Hope you had a fun New Years… we missed you!!!
Made this for dinner tonite! My husband said it was one of the best dishes I've made in our 7 years of marriage! Thanks!
I've never even tasted chicken and dumplings lol… I'm always scared they'll be all soggy, but making them in the oven sounds like a good idea, I'll have to try it :)
I loved this! My husband and I ate half the pan one night and the other half the next night. The kids had a few bites, too bad for them!
I'm eating this dish right now, and it is really good. Thank you!

Great dish! I made this last night – thanks for posting! I put in some green beans & used whole wheat flour for the dumplings – YUM.
Made this tonight…Loved it!
I need to try my hand at chicken and dumplings, it's one of my favorite meals! My husband, however, does not like them… what's a girl to do?
Made this a couple of nights ago. Definitely a keeper to make again… and again… and again…
