The perfect comfort food, this slow cooker recipe is so super simple. And using refrigerated buttermilk biscuits (in place of homemade dumplings with biscuit mix) combined with seasoned chicken breasts keeps the dish quick and easy.
All leftover chicken should always be sealed in an airtight container and placed in the fridge. This crock pot recipe of chicken and delicious dumplings should keep approximately three days. Remember that the chicken mixture has a creamy sauce, and that may continue to soften any of the dumplings as it sits n the fridge.
SHRED CHICKEN: Remove the lid from the slow cooker and remove the bay leaves. Take the chicken out and dice into bite-sized pieces or shred with two forks. Return chicken to the pot and stir.
Recently my number one recipe request is for a slow cooker version of my famous homemade Chicken and Dumplings. And I am proud to say, I finally got it right and I am ready to share this killer Crockpot Chicken and Dumplings recipe with all of you.
Just like the original, this Chicken and Dumplings recipe has a deliciously creamy chicken soup base with lots of flavor. Then we whip up a quick batch of big fluffy homemade dumplings and drop them into the soup with a cookie scoop.
To reheat, spoon the amount you want to eat into a pot and reheat on the stovetop over medium-low heat until warmed through. You can also reheat in the microwave. Spoon the chicken and dumplings into a bowl, cover with a plate, then reheat for about 3 minutes, stopping halfway to stir the soup.
**This recipe has been updated to add the evaporated milk after you cook the chicken and broth all day. Some readers were having issues with the evaporated milk curdling. I could not recreate the issue in my own kitchen, but I believe adding the evaporated milk later in the recipe should avoid this possible issue all together!
In the broth mix: I used a half Teaspoon of pepper, a full Teaspoon of garlic powder, a full Teaspoon of salt. Cooked on low for 5 hours (6 hrs. is too long in my crockpot). Then made the dumplings (omitting the Thyme entirely). I used a half Teaspoon of salt, half Teaspoon garlic powder, and just a few shakes of pepper to the flour for the dumplings. I turned crockpot to high and cooked an additional hour (for a total of 6 hours cooking time). I cooked frozen peas and added them at the end. It adds a pop of color. I changed nothing else about this recipe except for the spices, and it is reminiscent of chicken pot pie if you take out the Thyme. My family loved it!! Overall, this is a great recipe, but it just needed to be un-spiced up a bit, haha!!
Step 1: Place cream of chicken soup in the bottom of your slow cooker and stir it around. Layer the chicken breasts across the soup base. Top with a stick of unsalted butter. Pour water over the ingredients and place the lid on the slow cooker/Crockpot. Cook on the HIGH setting for 3 hours.
Step 3: Make the dumplings. Open a can of Grands biscuits and place the dough on a cutting board. For large dumplings, cut the biscuits into quarters. If you prefer small dumplings like I do, cut the dough into smaller pieces. The number of dumplings does not matter. Separate the dumpling dough and drop it into the pot along with the chicken and soup mixture. Stir. Replace the lid and cook for 1 hour on HIGH.
Fan of dark meat? You can substitute chicken thighs in this recipe. Just be sure that they are boneless chicken thighs without skin. I recommend that you cut the thigh meat into strips to help ensure that it cooks well.
If you prefer a faster version of chicken and dumplings, be sure to check out my recipe for Quick and Easy Chicken and Dumplings which is made on the stovetop, or my recipe for Instant Pot Chicken and Dumplings, my (new!) favorite way of making chicken & dumplings.
Without getting science-y here, I would recommend that if you have 2 slow cookers to cook 2 batches at the same time. There could be issues with the amount of time it takes due to the volume/density of the contents of the slow cooker. Better safe than sorry.

We typically do not serve anything with chicken and dumplings. But if you are wanting to stretch your servings, you can always add a side of vegetables such as green beans, corn on the bob or a nice green salad.
If you would like this is a great meal to make ahead and freeze. But I would freeze without dumplings. Just make everything else, then once you are ready to eat, put in the crockpot. Then once your chicken mixture is heated, put in your biscuits.
Made this last night with couple changes: started out with crock pot setting but when we got home late from practice, added biscuits and then turned on instant pot cook it fast for 40 minutes. Wish I added more biscuits because everyone loved it!! Also made with more chicken and extra cream of chicken soup.
I was raised on completely made from scratch dumplings, and at times make chicken and dumplings that way myself. However, with all of our lives being so busy I wanted to develop this low stress slow cooked version so we could still enjoy comfort food on busy days.
Is a crockpot and a slow cooker the same thing? Those terms are used interchangeably, yes. They both use a low and slow cooking technique that works for inexpensive cuts of meat making them tender and flavorful. A few other slow cooker chicken recipes you may like to try:
First, you will need to line the bottom of your slow cooker with the chicken breast. Then top chicken breast with carrots, celery, and onions. Stir together the seasonings in a small bowl and sprinkle over the top of the chicken and veggies.
In a medium-sized bowl (approximately 4-6 cups) and mix together the chicken broth and cream of chicken soup. Pour broth mixture over the vegetables. Place lid on slow cooker and bake on high for 5-6 hours.
This recipe requires around 5 hours on high (or 8 hours on low) in the slow cooker, so dump in all of your ingredients and then take a nap, walk the dog or take the kids to the park. You get the idea!
Slow Cooker Chicken and Dumplings are a yummy comfort food that the whole family will enjoy. This crock pot chicken and dumplings recipe gives you two options for the dumplings! Use prepared biscuits, or make them from scratch using my easy dumplings recipe.
Now, I know that you can steam dumplings in a slow cooker. I know that it has worked with my other Chicken & Dumplings recipe, so I figured that it would be easy enough to do with these- mix, drop in, cover and cook for 30-60 minutes on HIGH.
Quick and easy I did substitute the cream of celery and just use two cans of cream of chicken and I pan-seared my chicken in butter and olive oil!!! I added some spices and the. Cubed the chicken and boiled it for 20 min or until tender. I put everything into the crockpot and combined and then split the base into two pots to make one with biscuits and one with bisquick!! Both came out great !!!?
1st. You should shred chicken before adding the dumplings, it makes it easier to shred without the dumplings in the way.2nd. Yes you can use leg quarters or boneless thighs if you prefer dark meat like I do
A lot of crockpot chicken and dumpling recipes use canned biscuits instead of homemade dumplings. If that's what you want to do, go for it. You may just need to adjust the final cooking time and, of course, note that canned biscuits may not be gluten-free.
My slow cooker is my favorite kitchen gadget. Well, gadgets. I have a few of them and each serves a different purpose. My go-to is this 6 qt Crock-Pot. I love the locking lid and programming options. I use this for practically everything but have an 8 qt Hamilton Slow Cooker for when we have guests or I'm doubling larger recipes for the freezer.
The answer is yes, you can overcook dumplings in a slow cooker. If you do overcook them, they will become mushy and fall apart. To avoid this, make sure to cook the dumplings for the amount of time specified in the recipe. Additionally, check on them periodically to make sure they are not getting overcooked.
There are many variations of chicken and dumplings, depending on the region in which it is made. In the United States, chicken and dumplings are typically made with a doughy dumpling, while in the United Kingdom, they are more likely to be made with a pastry-like dumpling. There are also variations in the type of chicken used, with some recipes calling for white meat only, while others use dark meat or a combination of both. 2ff7e9595c
