I am definitely one of those people that is happy to eat soup all year long, but when fall and winter roll around, I really amp it up.
Soups. All day every day. Is there anything more warming, filling, and comforting than a hot bowl of soup?
I’m pretty fond of my chicken gnocchi soup, but my son’s favorite is chicken and dumplings.
This easy crockpot chicken and dumplings recipe makes my life so much simpler. I use canned biscuit dough for the dumplings which makes the recipe go so quick, but it still tastes like those classic chicken and dumplings everyone loves.
While we absolutely love my dad’s homemade biscuits and our 7 Up Biscuits, we use canned in this recipe. They make life so easy sometimes!
If you prefer rolled dumplings, you should try our Cracker Barrel chicken and dumplings. Such a good copycat recipe.
How to make crockpot chicken dumplings:
We’re keeping this recipe super easy and convenient because we all need easy and convenient comfort food some days, right?
You’re going to start with a couple of pounds of chicken breast (or thighs, if you prefer!) in a slow cooker.
Add some onions, garlic, and cream of chicken soup to the slow cooker. You can use my homemade cream of chicken soup substitute if you don’t like to purchase the canned stuff.
Pour in some chicken broth and season everything with poultry seasoning, parsley, and pepper. Add a bit of salt if you’re using homemade cream of chicken soup, but if you use the canned stuff, you can probably skip it.
Give everything a quick stir and the cover the slow cooker.
You’ll want to cook this on low for about 7 hours or on high for 3 hours.
When the chicken is nice and tender and cooked through, use a couple of forks to shred the meat and give everything a good stir.
Open up a can of biscuits and press the dough into flat rounds. Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to cut the dough into narrow strips and drop those into the crockpot. Give it quick stir and then cover the pot and cook for another hour.
After an hour, the biscuits should be soft and fluffy. Some slow cookers take longer to cook than others, so you may have to adjust a bit depending on your slow cooker.
That’s it! Serve this up in a big bowl or over a pile of mashed potatoes. Either way, these chicken and dumplings are oh so good!
