For a richer flavor, use bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs. You'll need to shred the chicken after cooking.
If you can't find natural cream of chicken soup, you can make your own by combining chicken broth, milk or cream, and a thickening agent like flour or cornstarch.
Feel free to add other vegetables like celery, mushrooms, or potatoes.
For a golden-brown top, broil the dumplings for a minute or two after they're cooked through, but watch them closely to prevent burning.
