Crockpot Chicken and Dumplings
Description
In this crockpot recipe, boneless chicken breasts or thighs are cooked with diced onion, minced garlic, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, and seasonings like poultry seasoning, parsley, and cracked black pepper. The mixture cooks on low or high until chicken is tender enough to shred. Then refrigerated biscuit dough is flattened and cut into strips, added to the crockpot to cook until light and fluffy.
The result is a stew-like dish with a rich, creamy broth flavored by cream of chicken soup and herbs. The freshly cooked dumplings absorb the broth flavors while remaining tender. The slow cooker method allows for a hands-off approach while maximizing flavor development and moisture retention in the chicken.
This dish works well as a comforting main meal, especially during cooler weather. It provides both protein and starch, ideal for a family-friendly dinner. Biscuits cooked in the broth create a textured dumpling that’s easier and quicker than from-scratch dumplings.
Flattening biscuits before cutting is important to ensure even cooking. Cooking times may vary depending on the slow cooker model, so check doneness before serving.
