I love being able to come home from work, and have dinner pretty much done when I walk in the door. My slow cooker makes this possible!
One of the things my family loves is chicken and dumplings, this is an easy recipe for all to enjoy!
Ingredients:
- 2 Large Chicken Breast, thawed and cubed
- 2 10.5 oz Cans of Cream of Chicken
- 1 14.5oz Can of Chicken Broth
- 1 Cup Frozen Peas
- 1 Cup Water
- 1 Can of Biscuits
- Salt and Pepper
Directions:
In a slow cooker, combine chicken breast, cream of chicken, chicken broth, frozen peas, and water. Let this cook on low for 6 hours, in the last 30 minutes drop the biscuits into the slow cooker. These will swell up in the slow cooker to make the dumplings. I prefer to rip the biscuits apart into smaller pieces before dropping into the slow cooker. Either way is delicious!
Then, come home from work and enjoy a meal that requires minimal effort. This is the perfect one dish meal for a cool, fall day!
Note: If you do not prefer the dumplings to be very moist or doughy, then avoid using the cup of water. I prefer mine to be more doughy.
Do you have a delicious slow cooker recipe to share? Link up so we can all try it!
Ok darn it, I’ll have to try this one too!! Keep the slow cooker recipes coming! YUMM-O!
I must of been on a slow cooker quick, b/c I have a bunch this week!
OK, I made this today. So far so good. We’ll eat in about 20 minutes. Super easy & smelled great when I came in from work!!
Hope you all like it!
OK, this was super tasty. I didn’t have frozen peas (and personally I can’t stand peas) so left those out. Felt it was missing a veggie so I made green beans on the side. The biscuits were good but daughter thought they were too gooey (she’s picky so we ignore her food criticism!). Will make this again!
Glad you liked them! Too funny with the gooey, my hubby feels the same way about being too gooey. He feels that way about all dumplings though, so I ignore his thoughts on dumplings.
I’m putting this on my menu for this week. Yum-O!
I went to a What a CrOcK party last year. It was fun and I got some great recipes. I wrote about it here:

That’s such a great idea for a party!!! I’ve actually thought about doing something like that, so that’s such a neat thing to see how you did it!
Just wanted to tell you I made this last week and my hubby, daugther, and I really enjoyed it! Got to love crock pot recipes too, especially when you don’t have much time to cook.
We will be making this again!
So glad you liked it!!! Love cooking with the crock pot!
Just wanted to let you know I made this on Sunday added some carrots as well – very good thanks for sharing.
So glad you enjoyed them!!
We dont like the really doughy dumplings either so I tore them up into smaller bits and baked them before I put them in. It made them soft but still nice and cooked.
That’s a perfect idea! My hubby rarely likes dumplings b/c of being doughy. I’m going to try this next time I fix them!
Is the chicken raw or cooked already when yup put in crock pot??
I put mine in raw, if you want to cook it first then I would just do 1/2 the cook time in the crock pot.
