    Just stumbled across this recipe and subscribed to your channel. Love it. I've lost 15 pounds since 2/24 (now 204, was 219). Goal – 195. You asked us to comment if we made it differently, so here goes. I only use Better Than Boullion (to me there is no base better) so I made 4 c. chix broth (4 tsp. BTB = 2SP) with that. I don't like the smell of boullion cubes nor the taste. I'm totally sold on BTB and have all flavors. I used 1 T. Smart Balance Light buttery spread (2SP) with the OVO instead of margarine to saute the veggies. After veggies sauted I added 1 c. frozen peas. I also added 1T of Badia chicken seasoning. We men like a lot of meat, so I used 2# of chix breast. I did thicken it up a bit with a 2T corn starch slurry (2SP). I only had the regular soups, not the nonfat, so I figured the total SP = 5 per serving (10 servings total). The use of the Smart Balance compensated for the higher-point margarine. The 4 tsp. BTB chix base was 2SP, but just one is 0, so I did not count it since it was divided 10 ways. Also the 2T of cornstarch is 2 SP but I did not worry about it. This came out most deliciious and will be one of my best recipes thanks to you. I love my Instant Pot. In fact, I have two: both a 6- and 8-quart. I get a lot of recipes from the channel "pressureluck" as all his recipes are IP but not WW, so I transform them. I love the way he presents his recipes and is very humerous and he gets right with it, no mundane chit-chat. I am afraid the Food Network is going to grab him up–he's that good and humerous. You should check his channel out just for fun. His web site is pressureluckcooking.com. Tell him Tom sent you. I enjoy your channel very much and have made many of your WW recipes. Keep up the wonderful cooking! Have a nice Sunday, Tom
    Kim, I had to come back and edit this and mention something I forgot. I also sous vide cook. If you have not tried it you're missing out. Mine is an Anova Nano sous vide and I got it on Amazon about $95 . I have never had such delicious steak in my life or other foods, veggies, et cetera. Restaurants have been using this method for years–that's how you get such tender steaks, and now the public is privy to this cooking technique. It works! Check it out. -TOM

    Chicken & Dumplings Math
    1 lb. Skinless Boneless Chicken Breast = 0 points
    98% Fat Free Cream of Chicken Soup = 6 points
    98% Fat Free Cream of Celery Soup = 5 points
    1 Tbsp Margarine = 4 points
    4 Cups Chicken Broth = 1 point
    1 cup chopped onion = 0 point
    1 cup chopped carrots
    = 0 point
    1 cup chopped celery
    = 0 point
    2 chicken bullion cubes
    = 0 point
    1 tube 7.5 oz Great Value buttermilk biscuits = 16 points
    Total = 32 points
    1 Serving = 1 Cup (8 ounces)= 4 points per serving
    In order to get 4 points there would need to be 10 servings yielded or 10 servings x 8 ounces = 80 ounces of Chicken and Dumplings to serve.
    (Note: The video title says 3 points, but the video says 4 points. It seems as though the video is correct)

    Very yummy. Instead of putting the dough in and making dumplings I transfer to a casserole dish and make in the oven for more of a chicken pot pie dish. Also you can use the low-fat crescent rolls. I have made it a few times and its great. Thanks Kim!

    This turned out & tasted great!! I am going to try making my own dumplings next time. I will post if I come up with recipe & points for them. I grew up with rolled & flatter dumplings. But these worked ok. Thanks for the video & recipe!!!

    Hi new subscriber here! I can't wait to try this, I have been wanting to get an instant pot. Question, is it 3 points with the original soups and 2TBS of margarine? Or 3pts with what you modified? I remember you saying that you calculated the points before you went to the store and you found the reduced fat one's.

    OMGoodness! This is good! Having it right now for lunch. I added a little thyme and minced garlic, and cooked the breasts in the broth for 10 minutes , removed it all, and then sautéed the veggies and added chicken and broth back in for another 10 minute round to help keep the veggies a little crisper. Can’t wait for fall weather to enjoy this on a cool day. Thanks for sharing the recipe with us!

    You can save the fat, if you want, getting your veggies cooked. You can use water or stock. All you need is a few tablespoons (4 or so), get the water steaming, put in your veg. saute as usual. If they start to stick at a little more water a tbs at a time. Once they are where you want them to be, continue. I have never had a problem with doing things this way. Now that I am almost at goal, I do it more often. Give it a try sometime and see if you like it.
