This is definitely not a gluten free recipe (although you could replace the biscuits on top with gluten free biscuits to make it so). It was an adaptation of this recipe from All Recipes, which I fixed on because I found a can of Grands biscuits hanging out in the back of the fridge from right before we discovered hubs was gluten intolerant. I rarely eat biscuits, not because I don’t like them but because they generally don’t fit into my calorie budget. But I ate these and it was a marvelous use for “wampum” (my critique partner Susan Bischoff refers to canned biscuits as wampum because you have to whomp ’em against the counter to open). This makes 6 servings at 521 calories and 13.3 grams of fat per serving.

A friend just had a baby and I signed up to bring them chicken and dumplings, but I think they’ll be getting this instead! Pretty much the same recipe, only I don’t have to worry about my biscuity dumplings being half raw. 🙂
Add celery! It’s the one thing I didn’t have on hand that I think would be wonderful in it.
THis looks delish and easy to make. I book marked it. Thanks for the recipe.
