This turned out really good! Hubs loves cracker barrel chicken and dumplings, not me so much, but making it myself-it became scrumptious!

I used soup base because I did not have bouillon. For that reason, my sauce needed more salt. This is really great! A keeper!! .

Turned out Delicious! You could just make all dumplings at once instead of half and half.
