Start the day by prepping this Slow Cooker Chicken and Dumplings Recipe!
Back when I first started blogging I made this Slow Cooker Chicken and Dumplings. I decided recently to remake it as it is still one of my husband’s favorite dinners.
I rarely make it nowadays because I am gluten free so I miss out on enjoying it.
After some begging from him, I thought I would surprise him and make it for dinner. This time I decided to use canned goods as part of this dish to make it even easier.
This was such an easy, simple meal to make on a busy night.
How did this one get even better?
How do you make Slow Cooker Chicken & Dumplings?
My son that is extremely picky and hardly eats anything I make, he actually ate it too! He loved it! Then, we gave some to my almost year old daughter and she scarfed it up too.
That made the cooking an easy night for my family, it was loved by all!
To make the dumplings, you will simply rip up canned biscuits and place them on top in the slow cooker.
Close the lid and about 30 minutes later you will have tasty, doughy dumplings.
Doesn’t this look like the perfect dinner for a cold, winter day?
Enjoy!
Remember to grab this Hamilton Beach Slow Cooker, this is one of our favorites to use.

This looks like a perfect recipe for our first winter storm–can’t wait to try!
Kristy says
Hope you enjoy it! It’s a great, warm you up recipe!
Nora says
can you leave the peas out altogether ?
Kristy says
Yes you can, it shouldn’t change anything.
jerry says
what is a can of biscuits?
Kristy says
Like Pillsbury biscuits that are in the fridge at the stores.
Amy says
This is delicious! And incredibly filling. I used a can of mixed veggies, for variety. My only problem was that I made my pieces of biscuits too big, and they expanded to be pretty huge haha. Would there be any issues if I cooked this on high for 4 hours or so? Have you tried that?
Kristy says
You should be able to, typically that’s what I do with most of the recipes if I need it down in a quicker time frame. I haven’t done it with this one specifically, but I do think it should work out fine.
Tiffany says
You do not specify if the dumplings should be baked before or if you put them in raw..
Kristy says
Not baked, just the dough then they will swell up in the slow cooker to form the dumplings.
Tiffany says
I did this and it’s been in for over an hour and the dough is most certainly raw… any solution? Thank you for the fast reply! 🙂
Kristy says
Hmm…they will still be pretty dough, so it won’t look like a typical cooked biscuit, it’s going to be a dumpling/dough consistency. I’ve never left mine in for more than about 30 minutes, but you may want to try to put them on high for a few minutes.
Tiffany says
Thank you very much. Will try that! The stew is delicious, but I can deffs tell that the dough isn’t cooked.
Kristy says
Yes, and you def want it cooked. That’s strange that it isn’t cooking within that time frame, so def trying maybe 15-20 minutes on high and check it again. Be sure the lid is on tight too so all the heat stays in.

How how much turkey from your thanksgiving meal would I use to replace the 2 large chicken breasts?
Kristy says
I would start with about 2 cups if you are shredding it, then add a little bit more in if you feel like it could use more. If it’s shredded though that may be enough. If it’s more sliced/chunked you may want a little more than that.

Hi! The chicken breast should be cooked before? thank you 🙂
Kristy says
I put mine in uncooked, but you can cook it.
Lil says
Hi. How many servings does this make?
