EASY CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS 
The best and the easiest dumplings you have ever eaten!!!

1 to 2 lb. chicken
1 can cream of chicken soup
2 cans chicken broth (you may use bouillon cubes)
1 1/2 cups water
1 can peas
1 can carrots
1 pkg. refrigerator biscuits (buttered or unbuttered)
celery (I add if I have any)

Cut chicken into small chunks to ensure it will cook.

Combine chicken, chicken broth, cream of chicken, water, peas, carrots, and your choice of seasonings, such as parsley, salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder to the Crock-Pot and turn it to low (high if you want it to cook faster). Cook until chicken is tender; about 5 hours but this will vary according to your Crock-Pot (newer ones tend to run at a higher temperature).

About 15 minutes before ready to eat, cut biscuits into quarters, roll into balls and place in the Crock-Pot. Stir occasionally. Cover again until ready to eat.

Easy Chicken and Dumplings

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

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!

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).

I make this in a similar way, but I cook it on the stove and I tear the biscuits into small pieces and drop them in. I want dumplings that sink and that are doughy. I use buttery biscuits because it gives it a great taste. Yummy.

I leave my house at 7:00 in the morning and I do not return until after 4:00. I have never prepared anything in my slow cooker that needed to be cooked that long. So, I prepare the ingredients in the crock the night before and put the crock in my refrigerator. In the morning I put the crock in the cooker and use a timer that my slow cooker plugs in to. If I need to cook the dish for 5 hours I can set the timer to come on at 12:00 and go off at 5:00 or earlier if I need to add more ingredients in the last hour. It works great!!

My mom is from Oklahoma and any one who knows Oklahoma knows they can cook. This tastes just like mom used to make only not as hard - it is one of my family favorites!

Do you drain the cans of peas & carrots?

 Nicole (Washington) says:
I have been craving chicken and dumplings forever now and was thinking I would love these. But for some odd reason mine came out gritty and texturized like the chicken broth and cream of chicken separated while cooking. Any suggestions?

 Robyn (Alaska) says:
Always drain any veggie can you use before pouring into your slow cooker. I love Bisquick for my dumplings, my Mom and Grandmother always used it and I use it now. I am making this tomorrow for dinner and I cannot wait!

It was a very good recipe. The only thing I had an issue with was it was too liquidy. I should've added flour, but was in a rush. Very flavorful!

 Plano Debbie (Texas) says:
This was hands down the easiest an delicious recipe ever. My only tweak was I added a can of cream of onion as well. Didn't effect the consistency at all! Hats off to Megan for developing this one!

Has anyone tried gnocchi instead of the biscuits?
