Too much sodium in this recipe. Try a dash of salt, remembering that it gets stronger as it cooks, and your favorite herbs, such as basil or rosemary. To keep the dumplins together, I would add a dusting of self rising flour and an egg. That should hold it together until it cooks.

Need a lowfat version! Too high in calories....Anyone out there with lower cal versions would be greatly appreciated! Slow cook recipes are always HIGH!

I disregarded the cream cheese and added Lawry's Garlic Salt. It gave it more zip, also a dash of Emeril's Seasoning. It was bland the first time, but that pepped it up.

This recipe was very disappointing. I felt like the ingredients would have been better served in another recipe. It was very bland. I wouldn't recommend it.

My husband and I did not like this recipe at all. It was very bland and needed more spices. Needless to say I will not be making this any more.

We loved it! It was tasty and easy. I didn't try to get anything to stay together, I just mixed it all in.

I cooked this on high for 3 1/2 hrs & rolled the stove top into balls after reading that other cooks had difficulites. The balls stayed together well but next time I will probably just make the stove top instead of putting it in the crock pot. Otherwise, it was good.

Dumplings didn't stay together well, but the chicken was very good with the seasonings.
