  1. I make my chicken and dumplings pretty much like you did except for one thing I use herb ox sodium free little packets of bouillon that come in a green box. When I do that, my granddaughters tell me that’s their favorite meal. I don’t know how they put so much flavor in a sodium free bouillon. You have to use several packets though, but my goodness they had some kind of good chicken flavor.
