Description

Slow Cooker Chicken and Dumplings is a comforting dish made with tender chicken, vegetables, and fluffy dumplings, perfect for a cozy meal.


Ingredients

  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup carrots, sliced
  • 1 cup celery, chopped
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 cup biscuit dough (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a slow cooker, combine the chicken broth, chicken breasts, carrots, celery, onion, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir to mix well.
  2. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
  3. Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred it with two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker.
  4. Stir in the cream of chicken soup and frozen peas. Mix until well combined.
  5. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough on top of the mixture in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on high for an additional 30-40 minutes, until the biscuits are cooked through.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.

Notes

  • For a heartier dish, add additional vegetables such as potatoes or corn.
  • Substitute the chicken with turkey or use rotisserie chicken for a quicker option.
