Six servings means that you probably shouldn't eat more than a small cup of this decadent high calorie meal. Have a salad with it to feel full. My two children and I started out with generous servings and my teenage son went back to finish the rest.
The recipe was easy and I was careful to use my 1/2 Tblspn scoop to create a nice amount of evenly portioned dumplings. I wanted them sort of bite sized and that worked perfectly . It was delicious.
I would agree with other reviews, this isn't quite a 6-serving meal. But it is delicious. I had leftover chicken from a roasted chicken and homemade stock and it was SO good - rich and flavorful. I didn't have parsley, so I added dill to my dumplings. Pretty quick to come together too. A keeper!
Very tasty and easy to make--but, no way this is six servings. It wasn't quite enough to feed my husband, myself, and our four kids, and they eat like birds. Half a cup of chicken bites and 1/4 cup of flour just doesn't do it for an adult, especially since it has both meat and starch so it's not like I'm going to make a filling side dish. I'm going to try doubling the recipe but I think I will have to make it in two pots because the dumplings need surface area to cook properly.
I have a few issues with this recipe.
1. I don't like it when ingredients are lumped together when there are multiple steps in a recipe. The ingredients should be broken up into two lists - one for the soup base, one for the dumplings.
2. This recipe says that it serves 6. NO WAY! This recipe only calls for 3 cups of chicken stock - that means each serving would only get 1/2 cup of soup base. It also only calls for 1 cup of flour for the dumplings...would probably make 4 dumplings.

I've made this twice already, this is Da BOMB! Used the leftovers from the extra sptachcocked chicken that I made a few days earlier, and it was super easy and delicious. We all loved it. (I did cheat and use Bisquick for the dumplings, no big deal, right?)
