My daughter loves chicken and dumplings. It is her favorite comfort food. I searched for easy recipes but found that most lacked flavor or vegetables. So I tweaked and tasted until I found one my family loves. I hope your family loves it, too!
Crock Pot Chicken and Dumplings
Equipment
- crockpot
Ingredients
- 4 skinless, boneless, chicken halves
- 1 bag frozen mixed vegetables (I use corn, peas, carrots, and green beans)
- 1 diced onion
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 cans condensed cream of chicken soup
- 10 oz packages of refrigerated biscuit dough (2)
- Chicken broth
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
- Place the onion, butter, condensed soup and chicken halves in the pot. Add enough chicken broth to cover the chicken and stir. Add salt and pepper to flavor. Let cook for 4 hours on high.
- Add the bag of frozen mixed vegetables. Stir. Continue to cook on high until the chicken is fully cooked, about 1 hour.
Hi!
I stumbled on your blog through a link on blogelina and I luv it! Great read too on your earnins, time it took, etc – thanks for sharing!
Being a mostly food blogger – I love reading recipes – this one looks great!
This recipe was a huge hit with my family! Perfect comfort food for fall and I will definitely make it again.
Gotta try this. It sounds great
I made this recipe last weekend. It was very tasty. The only part that did not work out for us was the biscuit dough. It was still raw after 30 min and then still raw after 60 min. We just ended up cooking some biscuits and then putting 1 biscuit in each serving.
I’m sorry that happened to you, Tricia! It happened to me one time, when I bought the extra large biscuits and they were layered some in the crock pot. Now I am sure to always buy the regular biscuits and make sure they don’t sink at all into the chicken when placed into the crock pot. Hopefully it doesn’t happen again in the future for you! Thank you for your comment!
is the chicken supposed to get shredded?
Hi Mallory,
Yes, you can shred the chicken-or you can cut it up if you prefer!
I was just going to try this with the xtra Turkey from thanksgiving. How long should I cook before adding the biscuits??? Since the turkey is already cooked? Have you tried this before??
What a great idea to use leftover turkey! I would just start at Step 2, adding the frozen vegetables and let it cook until everything is nice and hot. The biscuits won’t cook until the rest of the food it hot! Stop back and let us know if this works out. Happy cooking!
Erin,
I am using the grands flakey layers. Will they work?
Thank you.
The leftover thanksgiving turkey was awesome and the brands flakey biscuits worked great. <3 <3 <3 this dish.
Can u make this on low heat for longer?
Absolutely! 6 or 7 hours would be perfect on low.
The ingredients call for 4 bonless, skinless, chicken halves. Does this mean breast halves or 2 whole chickens cut in half? I assumed it mean breasts. This is what I have in the crock pot at the moment.
Sorry for the delayed response…yes, chicken breast halves.
How much chicken broth?
Enough to cover the chicken-about a quart
