Notes

  • Can You Make Bisquick Chicken and Dumplings in a Slow Cooker? Yes, simply add all ingredients except the dumplings to the slow cooker and cook on high for 3 hours. About 30 minutes before dinnertime, add in your dumplings to complete the meal. If you’re using rotisserie chicken, don’t add it in until 30 minutes before you’re ready to eat.

  • How to thicken the soup: If you prefer a thicker and heartier soup, you’ll need some cornstarch. Add the cornstarch and water mixture ( 1 tablespoon of each) to the boiling broth, stirring constantly until the soup has thickened.
