Crock Pot Chicken and Dumplings Recipe

Q: Is there anything more comforting than chicken & dumplings ?

A: Nope!

How do you make chicken & dumplings in a slow cooker ?

This recipe is broken down into two parts: cooking chicken and cooking biscuits. First, you lay boneless skinless chicken breasts over a bed of onion in your slow cooker, then pour cream of chicken soup and chicken broth on top. Once the chicken is cooked, it’s time to add the vegetables and biscuits. That’s it.

Why does this recipe use cream of chicken soup ?

Nothing quite beats the creamy texture and savory flavor of cream of chicken soup. You can absolutely make your own copycat recipe from scratch, but we lean on the canned stuff for convenience here.

How do the biscuits cook in the slow cooker ?

So first you cook the chicken mixture, and then for the last hour you cook the biscuits. The heat in the slow cooker will help the biscuits rise and “bake”. They’ll need a lot longer in the slow cooker though—about an hour to be fully cooked through.

Can I use dumpling dough from scratch ?

Absolutely! We use refrigerated canned biscuits here for convenience, but we can only imagine what this recipe would taste like with our perfect flaky biscuits.
