    Crock Pot Chicken and Dumplings Recipe

    Chicken and dumplings is a Southern comfort food that has stood the test of time. If you love a good homemade chicken soup, you’ll probably love this Crock Pot chicken and dumplings recipe too.

    Homestyle chicken and dumplings have never been easier to make thanks to the use of a Crock-Pot. While making chicken and dumplings from scratch the old-fashioned way is always delicious, it’s not necessarily something you have time to make for dinner during a busy week.

    Check out this recipe and you’ll be on your way to delicious slow cooker chicken and dumplings even when you’re short on time.

    Ingredients

    Let’s start with an overview of the ingredients.

    • I was fresh out of cream of chicken soup so I made my Crock-Pot chicken and dumplings with cream of mushroom soup instead and it turned out delicious. I’m leaving cream of mushroom soup in the recipe but, of course, feel free to use cream of chicken instead as is traditional.
    • Frozen diced carrots are a time-saver and you can even use frozen diced onions to cut down on prep time even more.
    • Use refrigerated biscuits in the can for dumplings, not frozen biscuits. We always affectionately called these “whop biscuits” because you whop them on the side of the counter after you take the wrapper off. I know the package says to press firmly with a spoon, but once you start whopping them it just makes sense (plus it’s fun!).
    • Chicken broth can come from the can, carton, bouillon cube, or homemade from scratch. Personally, I like to use Better than Bullion to make broth for all of my cooking. As the name indicates, it tastes much better than the broth made from a bouillon cube, but you still get compact storage, convenience, and price-per-ounce savings.

    Directions

    To make Crock-Pot chicken and dumplings you’ll add everything but the peas, carrots, and biscuits to the slow cooker.

    Cook on high for 4 hours or when the chicken is done. Poultry is considered safely cooked once it has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees. Once the chicken is cooked use a fork to shred it like so. 

    Stir in the frozen peas and carrots and add chopped biscuit dough pieces to the top.

    You might want to spoon a bit of the cooking liquid over the top of the biscuits to keep them from drying out as they cook.

    Cook another two hours on high and then you’re ready to enjoy your slow cooker chicken and dumplings!

      The Crock-Pot Chicken and Dumplings Recipe is my favorite and I do cook the dish exactly the way you have shared. Thank you. However, I add some ghee here for flavor and to offer you the privilege of high nutrition and calories in ghee. Have you ever tried ghee in crockpot recipes? Please try it and let me know here.

      As with any cook, this recipe is a solid make or a base to expand. Easily made, inexpensive and will make again and again.
