This is from allrecipes.com with a few of my own modifications
Mix
1 can cream of chicken (can be reduced fat)
1 can chicken broth (can be low fat, low sodium)
1/2 cup milk
1 tbsp oil
1/4 c chopped onion
1/2 c chopped celery (I omit this because I HATE celery)
3 chicken breasts cut into strips
1 tsp celery seed
1 c corn
1 c green beans (or omit the corn and beans and use a can of mixed veggies)
Dumplings
1 c all purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 c milk
2 tbsp oil
1. In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, stir together the cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, and milk. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
2. Heat 1 tsp oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken strips, onion and celery. Sautee until chicken is cooked through, and onions are tender. Transfer the chicken mixture to the soup pot, and mix well. Add corn, green beans, or veggies of choice. Reduce heat to low, and simmer for 30-45 miniutes. Season with celery seed and black pepper.
3. Make dumplings: In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder and salt. In a small bowl, mix together 1/2 c of milk and 2 tbsp of oil. Pour into the dry ingredients, stirring just until moistened.
4. Drop tablespoonfuls of the dumpling mixture into simmering chicken stew. Cover pot tightly, and bring to a boil. Simmer for another 12 - 15 minutes without peeking. Ready to serve.
***You may want to add a little extra cream of chicken or chicken broth as I found this not quite soupy enough for my tastes. Regardless, it's a great way to sneak veggies in on the kids!

since you don't like celery, did you add the celery seed? do you think it's totally necessary?
looks good and i plan on making it on sunday. thanks!
i did add the celery seed. i like the flavor of celery, just not the texture. :) you could probably leave it out though. let me know how it turns out!
so this was really good! my whole family liked it except for the 2-year old, but all she likes is cookies so that was a given.
my kids really loved the "dumplings." i had never made this, nor ever eaten it, so i wasn't sure what exactly to expect. but it was good.
i did celery - but no celery seed. i also never saw where i was suppose to add the cans of corn and green beans - did i miss something? but i added it when i added to the chicken to the broth and all cooked up great.
thanks!
ha ha, sorry, add the corn exactly when you did. :) I'm a little spacey when I write these things. :)
