Good if you like comfort food
I had mixed feelings about this, because for me I don't personally care for standard American comfort food, but my boyfriend was really craving chicken and dumplings. That said, I read what the other reviewer said, and was afraid it would be bland--so I bumped it up a bit. I added Italian seasoning, thyme, black pepper, kosher salt, a bay leaf, and I used fresh veggies instead of frozen (which did ad to the time).
I enjoyed it well enough, considering it isn't really "my thing", and he really liked it. We both agreed the dumplings were excellent (I added a little seasoning to them as well).
You must enjoy this type of food to really enjoy the dish, but it is warm and filling and very nice on a snowy night.
