Well, I just got home from Florida and gosh it is COLD!! I rushed in the door, turned up the heat and promptly started Chicken and Dumplings. Just like the rest of America I am going to try and make some better food choices. I really had a come to Jesus moment over the holidays and decided I really need to take my health a little bit more seriously. Keep working hard but not at the expense of my health. I am going to go back to the gym. I am a happier nicer wife and mother when I am exercising. So, when my mind said chicken and dunplings I had to think of a way to lighten up these thigh thickening bowls of happiness. Most importantly…not sacrifice taste or texture. So here is my lighter healthier chicken and dumplings:

Hi Caryn! This sounds yummy. Is there something I could use to substitute the cream of chicken soup?
Jill- here is a homemade way to make cream of whatever…
2T butter + 2T flour + 1 c. milk. Add whatever (beef/chicken/veggie soup base or bouillon, seasonings and even veggies!)
Ate this today after you made it! So yummy! Chicken and Dumplings is one of my favorite meals. I like that you made this healthier. It looks easy to make as well. I can’t wait to make it myself!
How many servings does this make? I am wanting to figure out calories. Thank you.
Elizabeth I just make a big pot full….I would suppose it is about 8-10 servings. Hope you enjoy as much as my family has this week!
