Delicious! I will be making this often. . Now, I decided not to make dumplings, so my rating is for the soup part only (I served it over brown rice). The seasonings (especially Italian instead of the usual poultry) added just the right taste for my husband and me. I added about a tablespoon of the Italian seasoning I cook a lot of Italian dishes and know if and when to add more than called for. I did tweak this a little... I omitted the potato starch and the potato and added celery (3-4 stalks chopped into slices (about 1/4' thick). I decided to use the chicken breasts (cut into fairly chunks) I had on hand instead of making a trip to the store for thighs. I followed the cooking directions perfectly - the chicken was soooo tender. The recipe made gracious plenty, especially for only two people, plenty to freeze for later.

I'm just about to add the dumplings but there isn't really enough liquid to cook them in. The stew itself tastes good at this point, so I'll try cooking the dumplings separately in boiling water.

Sorry to hear you had poor results. It's been a huge hit with my family. I cook it in a cast iron Dutch oven & never had a problem with under cooked dumplings. (I submitted this recipe)

This was gross. Terribly under seasoned and couldn't get the dumplings to cook though I waited an hour for them.
