Easy Slow Cooker Chicken and Dumplings

 


Step-by-Step Instructions:

  1. Build the Base:
    Add chicken, chopped onion, garlic, and butter to the slow cooker. Sprinkle your seasonings evenly over the top.

  2. Add the Liquids:
    Pour in the chicken broth and cream of chicken soup. Give everything a good stir to combine.

  3. Slow Cook:
    Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.

  4. Shred the Chicken:
    Once cooked, shred the chicken directly in the pot using two forks, and stir it back into the mixture.

  5. Add Dumplings:
    Tear or roll biscuit dough into smaller pieces and place them on top of the mixture. Cover and cook for another 1–2 hours, until the dumplings are puffed up and cooked through.

  6. Optional Finishing Touches:
    Want it thicker? Mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with water and stir it in before adding the dumplings. Toss in frozen veggies during the last hour for an extra dose of flavor and color.

Serving Tip:

Spoon into bowls and serve hot—perfect for chilly evenings or when you need a dose of home-cooked comfort.
