Chicken & Dumpling Casserole
This savory casserole is one of my husband's favorites. He loves the fluffy dumplings with plenty of gravy poured over them. The basil adds just the right touch of flavor and makes the whole house smell so good while this dish cooks. —Sue Mackey, Galesburg, Illinois

This recipe needs too many tweaks to have great flavor. There are much better recipes out there for chicken and dumplings. (No, I didn't make it, and yes, an experienced cook can tell just by the list of ingredients whether a dish will be good or not.) .
This is delicious comfort food! It's so easy to make, and everyone loved it. I added some thyme and sage to biscuit topping. A definite keeper! VFE
I thought this was a good recipe. I made a few changes. The amount of peas was way too much, and made the casserole too sweet. I sliced a couple carrots and microwaved and added it to the mixture. I added the sugar, but I don't think it was needed, so I' will omit next time. The amount of basil was too much, so I used half basil and half thyme in the sauce. I used 1 1/2 teaspoons in the biscuits, but my husband didn't like it, so next time, I will only add 1 teaspoon verses 2. I cut the salt back a little and added about 1/2 teaspoon of better than bouillon , which tends to be salty. I also used a little more butter since the flour ratio was so high. You need to cook the flour out for about a minute. Quite impressed .
I made this recipe and it was not a hit in my house. I think the basil totally overwhelmed the taste.

I cut this recipe in half to adjust for two. My only adjustment was using a small chicken breast to not overwhelm the gravy and peas and I cut the chicken into small dice . My husband said this is one of the best dishes I’ve ever made!

I have been using this recipe for years but I always use carrots and small broccoli florets for the vegetables along with the onions and garlic. I also use thyme instead of basil for the spice. My family loves this casserole.
This has become a favorite and frequently requested in our house. I add mixed veggies and a little sage and less basil. ( a bit much basil for us!)
The flavor was simply not to our liking. Ate it—didn't want to throw food out, but definitely won't be making it again.
