Slow-cooker Chicken & Dumplings

My grandma made delicious homemade dumplings.
But sometimes, homemade "anything" seems like too much work.
And this recipe is just...
SO easy.
(And still delish!)


Here's what you need:

3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 Tbsp butter
2 (10.75 oz) cans of low-sodium cream of chicken soup
1 onion, finely diced
2 carrots, finely chopped
2 celery stalks, finely chopped
2-3 small potatoes, chopped (optional)
Salt & pepper to taste
2 (10 oz) can of refrigerated biscuit dough, torn into pieces
Water (or chicken broth/stock) to cover

Here's what you do:

Turn slow-cooker on high.
Place all ingredients in...
I lay down butter first, then potatoes, the seasoned chicken,
and then top with remaining veggies and soups.
Add enough water or broth/stock to cover.
Cover and cook for 5-6 hours.


About 1 hour before serving, place torn biscuit dough into slow-cooker.
Cook until dough "dumplings" are no longer raw in the center.



Enjoy with a side salad and a glass of your favorite Chard.
Tastes even better as leftovers in the days to come!

  1. Note: I shred the chicken with 2 forks (and stir the pot!) prior to adding the biscuit dough.
