I had chicken and dumplings for the first time ever of Thanksgiving at Adam’s Grandmas, his wonderful Aunt made it.
I saw this one on Rachel Rays show. She had Jessica Simpson on and they made chicken and dumplings. It was simple to throw together.
This had wonderful flavor, next time I would mix the soups together as well as the broth because it didn’t mix once poured on.
Chicken and Dumplings (From: Jessica Simpson)
-
3 rolls of reduced-fat croissant rolls, divided (recommended brand Pillsbury)
-
1 small rotisserie chicken, skin discarded and meat removed from bones
-
1 can of low-sodium, reduced-fat cream of chicken soup
-
1 can of low-sodium, reduced-fat cream of mushroom soup
-
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
-
Salt and ground black pepper
Preheat oven to 400ºF.
Roll out the cans of croissant sheets and separate into diamond shaped sections. Place a small handful of rotisserie chicken on each diamond, fold dough over and press ends together to create dumplings. Cut up any excess dough into strips.
Line a 9×13″ baking dish with one layer of dumplings. Pour the can of cream of chicken soup over the layer of dumplings, followed by the can of cream of mushroom soup, and chicken broth.
Place strips in a crisscross pattern on the top of the dumplings and soup mixture, season dish with salt and ground black pepper and bake until the dumplings are tender and cooked through and the top is bubbly and brown, about 30 minutes

That sounds great!
Someone else just posted this recently too… I would have loved to see that Rachel Ray episode! I’m sure it was entertaining.
Looks tasty!
What an interesting take on dumplings! I’m sure Rachael would call them “Yummo”!
This looks like such an easy way to vary up chicken and dumplings. Normally my husband wouldn’t like chicken and dumplings but this looks like a way to please us both!
Hmmm are you sure this is Jessica Simpson and not Sandra Lee?
Ou-yo-yu what a nice site!
Glad you tried this recipe! I’m impressed that Jessica came up with this – lol!
Yummo !!! I might have to try this one..
I’ve never seen a dumpling recipe like this…I’ll have to try… You’re picture looks yummy!
I have not had chicken and dumplings since I left home 50 years ago. My mother used to make it for us and it was devine. I think this way of making it is much easier than my mom’s way. She made the dumplings in boiling water and then added it to her chicken and sauce. All home made of course. I will try this one.
this looks more like chicken pot pie than dumplins!
Enjoy
