I remember my grandma used to use biscuits for dumplings. Very easy recipe. I also added an onion (everything I cook I do). NOTE: Instead of quartering the biscuits, I 1/8th them because they DO get larger in the Crockpot. I cut my chicken into cubes and boil them before putting in the Crockpot (I am just skittish about having uncooked chicken in anything).

Very simple recipe and it turned out delicious! I added pepper, paprika, canned diced potatoes, and used mixed veggies for more variety of vegetables. I also threw in a chicken boullion cube for flavor. I also put in two eggs to help with smooth texture - believe me, it makes the recipe even better. To thicken the sauce, put in a little flour if the sauce is too soupy. Finally, I used chicken carved from a Rotisserie bought at the store. We get two meals from it- one night we get rotisserie and the next night I make chicken and dumplings with it!

This was the easiest and it was soooo good all the kids liked it and ate it!

Try using flour tortillas. Just cut in square pieces. It makes the recipe even easier.

I made this very EZ recipe yesterday and the family and I loved it! The only thing I did different was I just used a bag of frozen mixed vegetables instead of can peas & corn. cooked on 6 hours high and it was perfect when dinner was served...Thanks Megan for this very EASY Recipe.

Tried this and loved it! The first time I wasn't sure whether or not to drain the peas - it ended up having a VERY strong pea soup flavor. I now use frozen peas and carrots. We love this super easy recipe.

As far as the time, we cook it about 4 hours on high, but could be 6-8 hours on low.

This recipe is very easy and tasty...but we loved it the second day even more!

How long do we cook it in the crockpot for??? I work all day and no one gets home until 3...I leave the house at 7:45am.

The old original chicken and dumplings were just flour, water and chicken. Make flour noodles add broth and chicken and bake til done. Everyone makes everything so hard nowdays.

I tried this tonight with a few variations and it was just awesome. I would have never thought to use biscuits for the dumplings. Just amazing! Definitely the best I've ever tasted. THANKS!! Oh, I added potatoes, a little flour and corn and used the cream of celery and cooked on stove top instead.

This recipe was awesome!! Thanks soooo much. I also added the marjoram and it even made it better. Used cream of Mushroom and I had fresh carrots out of the neighbors garden...cant wait to bring him a bowl when he gets home!

Family liked it very much. Stove top instead of crock pot. Diced chicken, both dark and white meat, and sauted in butter. Adding my own spices including some marjoram, parsley, celery salt, paprika, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and changed soup to cream of celery instead of cream of chicken. We had frozen peas with mushrooms which tasted great with the can biscuit dumplings. Very easy on the stove top just remember to cover when the "dumplings" go in.

This is the greatest "easy" Chicken and Dumpling recipe I've come across. I used fresh celery and julienned carrots, but was low on time, so I microwaved them in a covered bowl to cook them while the chicken was cooking. I had 2 of my older kids helping, and they could easily duplicate this meal so it's done when I get home from work! :D Thanks for sharing!

Amazing! Easy and delicious! I used Tony Schacheris!

This looks a very easy recipe and I would like to try it, but being a Brit, I'm afraid I don't know what type of biscuits one would use for this dish. Please suggest a British equivalent. Thanks.

They mean uncooked buttermilk biscuits. In the US, they come in a tube-like container ready to separate and cook. Hope that helps. I'm planning to make this over the weekend. Thanks!

Hey, Renee, biscuits for us would be scones to you, but without sugar or sweetening or other flavoring. We mostly like them baked fluffy, golden brown & hot, dripping with butter, for bread with any meal or with jam for breakfast, or stuffed with scrambled egg and/or bacon or any breakfast meat, or dribbled with honey, maple syrup, or plain gravy - or cooked in hot chicken broth to make dumplings. Yum! LOVE biscuits, as we call them. The refrigerated kind are pre-made, and I think they have yeast in them, or at least some do, whereas homemade biscuits don't have yeast, otherwise they'd be rolls! If they don't have refrigerated scones there, just find an easy biscuit recipe on the web & drop that rolled into balls into the boiling hot chicken and broth mixture. The heat cooks the biscuits in the broth. Don't stir too much, but do stir some, because this makes the broth thicker, because its breaking up the dumplings, which can be quite dry on the inside when they're fresh.

Canned biscuits (I use Grands butter biscuits) they're in the refrigerated section
