This recipe sounds great - very much like chicken and dumplings, I would think, and I love chicken and dumplings.
I found this neat web page that has nutrition info for Pillsbury products. Unfortunately, Grands Wheat Reduced Fat biscuits have skim milk (and wheat bran, which I would avoid since I'm sensitive to whole wheat).
I've had good luck making biscuits using Reduced Fat Bisquick (now called "Heart Smart Bisquick") and either soy or rice milk. The Bisquick biscuits are supposed to bake at 450 degrees for 9 minutes, so I think you could drop the unbaked Bisquick dough (either cutouts or just blobs) on top of the casserole and bake for however long it takes them to get golden at 425.
I'll probably give this recipe a try in the next week or so and I'll let you know how the substitution turns out.

I made this for dinner last night and it was very good. I used the Bisquick biscuits and they worked fine.
There are a lot of carrots in here and my husband is not a big cooked carrot guy - although he loves dill. Next time I'll probably try half as many carrots, more onion and mushroom, and some green peas.
Thanks, Bev - this is definitely a keeper.

Here it is:
SOURCE: Weight Watchers
POINTS® Value ' 4 Servings ' 6 Preparation Time ' 15 min Cooking Time ' 25 min Level of Difficulty ' Moderate
This seemingly rich comfort food (just like mom used to make) is a satisfying, healthy version of the traditional version which was so much higher in fat.
1 1/4 pound uncooked boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch pieces 1/8 tsp table salt, or to taste 1/8 tsp black pepper, or to taste 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour 1/2 tsp table salt 1/4 tsp black pepper 2 tsp vegetable oil 4 medium leek(s), white and light green parts only), thinly sliced 4 medium shallot(s), thinly sliced 2 medium carrot(s), sliced into thin rounds 2 medium celery, stalks, sliced 1 piece bay leaf 1 tsp thyme 2 1/2 cup fat-free chicken broth 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour 2 Tbsp uncooked cornmeal 3/4 tsp baking powder 1/4 tsp table salt 1 1/2 tsp parsley, minced 1/4 cup 1% low-fat milk 1/2 cup apple juice 1/2 cup frozen green peas, thawed
Season chicken with 1/8 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Mix flour with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Sprinkle chicken with 1 tablespoon of seasoned flour. In a large skillet, heat oil and lightly brown chicken. Remove from pan.
In the same skillet, sauté leeks and shallots until lightly golden, about 3 minutes. Add carrots, celery, bay leaf and thyme and cook another 3 minutes. Stir in remaining tablespoon of seasoned flour and it cook until it begins to color, about 1 minute. Pour in chicken broth and apple juice. Return chicken to pot. Bring to boil; reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, until chicken is cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes.
Meanwhile to make dumplings, sift 2 tablespoons flour, cornmeal, baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt together into a bowl. Stir in parsley. With a fork, stir in milk until dough just comes together. Drop dumpling mixture with a teaspoon into chicken mixture. Simmer, covered, about 6 to 8 minutes. Add peas, and cook until dumplings are done, another 2 to 4 minutes.
Serve in six 1-cup portions.

I think I'll try it using the Heart Healthy Bisquick instead of the Grands, since it's much lower on the fat. Sounds like a great new dinner!

I was sitting here racking my brains for something for dinner. This sounds good and not too taxing and I think hubby will like it. Maybe I'll do some baked apples for dessert. Thanks for the recipe. Now for the store.

I increased the fat a bit as the 1 1/2 tsp just weren't cutting it with the 3 Tbs flour. Added 2 cups of chicken stock and 1/2 cup white wine. OMG, what a delicious gravy. We've had 2 dinners from it and there is enough left for one good size portion or 2 small ones.

You could - you'd have to be sure to get them cooked well before they go in.
I'd be more inclined to add extra mushrooms and maybe different kinds of mushrooms. Or increase the mushrooms and the carrots both.
